Slang Resources
Since I had an earlier ask about slang, I thought I’d pull together a few resources:
Historical Dictionary of American Slang – allows you to search by year
Slang Terms for Sex (And Related F*ckery) – Bow chicka wah wah
Medieval Slang Terms and Terminology – PDF File (Use these sparingly)
Shakespearean Slang and Sexual Language
Elizabethan Slang and Terminology
Victorian Slang Terms – Again, use sparingly
One of my favorite details in The Prince of Egypt
So I noticed this on one of my last viewings of The Prince of Egypt and I absolutely love it. I wanted to take some screenshots to show you, because this is really cool.
During the “When You Believe” sequence, you see these two Egyptian guards throw down their spears and walk off, seemingly nowhere.
But if you watch the background during the following Red Sea scenes, you see this:
Those two guards actually went with the Hebrews.
You even see them helping out as they try to cross the ocean floor.
And here they are on the other side.
I seriously never noticed them until recently, and I’ve seen this movie countless times.
Not only did these background characters get shown abandoning their role as soldiers, the very ones who probably directly oppressed these people, but the animators continued to place them in the shots during the Red Sea sequence. Meaning they were meant to be there. I just think that’s really really freaking cool.
I built a goddamn tunnel to lead some goddamn cows to my farm and they’re gone
I just misread “Teen Vogue” on the sidebar as “Terrouge”.
Send help, the ROC is trying to reach back out to me (and I’m not interested).
I was so tempted to Vits-RP at you teasingly in this post, but I couldn’t summon anything that felt genuine. spose I’ve left that world decidedly behind too.
There are a lot less formal dances in my life than I expected.
