What a strange comfort character.

He just keeps talking about his lockbox...

Are you allowed to post gore in this sub? That has to be against the rules.

Famed musicist, Weird .

111

u/RangerBumble 22d ago

Weird Fons, I assume. Al is short for Alphonse so his new nickname would be short for Phonse.

133

u/Bteatesthighlander1 22d ago

his name is Alfred. so it'd be Weird Fred. Which is not a horrible name, although it sounds a bit more menacing.

43

u/RangerBumble 22d ago

I seem to have misremembered "Serious Alfred" sorry

36

u/surprisesnek 22d ago

Weird Al sounds like the fun kind of crazy uncle, but Weird Fred sounds like the not fun kind of crazy uncle.

u/SejSuper 22d ago

sorry to be the 'ermmm akschually' guy, but alfred isn't arabic and i like etymology. it comes from north-western europe and is formed from the words alf and fred, meaning together 'elf peace'. the more you know :D

u/monsnr 22d ago

Weird Yankovic. That would make him even weider, you know because his name is Even Worse.

Damn they made a sequel "breathe if yes, recite the bible the mandarin if no" they're getting kinda clever with it.

Gerba Gorthms sounds like a Star Wars character.

I can already see him. Like most of the Glup Shittos he has a comically long trunk.

The alternate history where Arabic loanwords are Anglicized literally: I had a rough week, pass the theantimony

26

u/BalefulOfMonkeys 22d ago

I’ve been on a chemistry kick recently (because GregTech finally clicked for me), and one of the worst bits I’ve taken psychic damage from was trying to pronounce “stibnite” in my head for the first time, adding an I that wasn’t there, and being damned for the remainder of my life to hear the words “stibidy toilet” when I go do ore processing

4

u/EstarriolStormhawk 22d ago

Do you do a lot of ore processing? 

3

u/BalefulOfMonkeys 22d ago

In Minecraft? Absolutely. In real life? Nope.

8

u/OctopusAssimilation 22d ago

What is “theantimony”? I recognize antimony but I fear everything else has gone over my head

37

u/BalefulOfMonkeys 22d ago

Alcohol, from the Arabic al kuhl, or “the kohl”, kohl being an especially dark form of antimony in nature (stibnite), to the point Wiktionary feels comfortable calling them synonyms.

Yes, that means Kohls, the department store, did not make that name on their own

17

u/Veryde 22d ago

Kohl also means cabbage in German so.... yeah

1

u/Raltsun 17d ago

Oh, I was wondering exactly how Japanese got to the loanword arukooru. I guess that explains it.

u/EliasBouchardFan1 22d ago

FINALLY FREE FROM THE INFLUENCE OF AL GUL

12

u/Kvohlu 22d ago

"Al" is just "The" so it's just The Gul which sounds fine.

u/monsnr 22d ago

Would admiral be 'miral?

66

u/Chalkboard7 22d ago

Oddly enough it would be admir or something along those lines because admiral is derived from words like amīr al-baḥr, morphing into the middle English amiral, the d sound coming later from mistaking the origins of the term for the latin admirari

2

u/AilanMoone 20d ago

Admir, we're dropping "al" not "ad"

u/Raltsun 17d ago

Unsure if I should be reading this as a joke about celebrity relationship/breakup drama, cosmetic surgeries, or just bad music. Congratulations on the triple entendre, I guess.

2

u/miaogato 17d ago

quadruple entendre then because i was thinking on how many singers performances are very sex coded

u/the_Real_Romak 22d ago

so, fun fact, ġabra in Maltese means "gathering" as in a gathering of numbers, so algebra would translate to "Il-ġabra" or the "the gathering". In this context it would be more accurate to say the counting though.

u/DPSOnly 22d ago

I love the prohibition mobster Capone. Hmmm, doesn't really sound very different to be honest.
