[@philippaine]

For a foreigner to play with the English language like this merely enhances his status of genius!

[@EvenTheDogAgrees]

Not to belittle the guy. I'm sure he was quite bright. But no, it does not take particular genius to do something eight year olds do, but in a second language. I think you feel that way because you are (and I'm guessing here) an American. Or at least an inhabitant of an English speaking country, correct? You have this comfy situation where you won't ever need to learn a second language if you don't want to, because everyone on the entire North American continent speaks the same language as you. And most foreigners do too, to a more or lesser degree. In Europe, on the other hand, every country has their own language (and some, like mine, more than one). If we want to communicate among each other, we can not avoid learning a second language. Over time, English has become that lingua franca that everyone falls back to when communicating with folks from another country who don't speak their own language. So no, it's not particularly hard for us foreigners to understand, and engage in linguistic humour in English.

[@roseterry2744]

​@@EvenTheDogAgreesThere's one in every crowd. Our federal government used to require that incoming migrants be taught English. There used to be classes for such. Not any more. There is too many (millions) of people illegally flooding across our southern boarder. Because the Biden Regime counts them as potential voters for him, he doesn't care. And he has made that obvious to those Americans that are paying attention and concerned. We never had this invasion under the Trump administration. That is why Biden us stepping things up concerning the southern border. We were having nationwide a severe housing crisis BEFORE the millions coming in. So you can imagine what it's like right now. They are pouring in from 149 nations making what is happening throughout Europe look like a trickle. We have homeless veterans living on the streets. Who defended this country, and they are being swept aside for the liberal authoritarian concerns of countless, paperless, illegals. They were told by "Heir Biden" that they are all welcome to come to America..that you will get free stuff! Like housing, food , medical care, schooling for children, free free free! (At the taxpayer's expense! Many of them were asked why they came. They say that President Biden invited us and we will be taken care of, and there is free social services and housing. No one knows who they are or what their intentions are. Most of them are young men without identities. Yesterday, there was several hundred young Chinese men grouped together who came over our border. Military like. Some are complaining the ones who have been given luxury hotels with free services (in New York) including liquor, marijuana, and cigarettes for free..supposedly to keep them off the streets. These are complaining because their 60 day time limits were drawing to a close. Apparently, they are "rotating* these immigrants..at taxpayer's expense. It NEVER was like this with President Trump! And you can owe this to the Biden Regime that our federal debt is about 18 TRILLION dollars. A good portion of that debt is used towards illegals. Many of us are greatly concerned that as popular (contrary to listening to the fake news!) as President Trump is, that when our next election comes up in 2024, that Biden will somehow steal the election AGAIN, Luke they did in 2020. To back up when I said that he is popular, go on line to RSBN (Right side Broadcasting Network) Afor the Trump rallies sometimes they scan the massive crowds..regardless of what state he's in it's always Like that in support of him.MASSIVE crowds! If you can get Biden's attention between naps, when/ IF he goes out for a gathering, you will see maybe a hundred People there and usually most of them are from the media.. And "The sound of crickets;" Soo Now you can see that at least half the country call President Trump out President. The ENEMY of the people dwells among us. The media has been bought out and are doing the damndest to propagandize the people as they spew lies about President Trump... Just like the Nazis did in WW 2 to the Germans and made it believable to them. Their are now more tent cities full of illegals throughout America.. this is a massive invasion and we need to bring this governing force out now. Trump is to America like Winston Churchill was to England , at 73 years old and a"baby boomer," I knew about him and I admired him greater than FDR! And I am here to say that "The Greatest Generation" ( WW 2 generation) would have supported Donald Trump 100% as di we do.Google Donald Trump's accomplishments in office ..the man was brilliant!) The generations that have come after me (in particular) have never experienced any heavy propaganda. So because of this, particularly the social and MSM, they are very gullible and subjected to "the Dumbing down"of America. Many of them vote for the WRONG people because of what they have been subjected to .Just like the results of brain washing the mass into being deceived into voting evil into office (read in the Bible from Book of Isaiah 5:20 ) it is prophet and being "demon"strated throughout the world today. There is only ONE God and he's getting ready to judge not only America but ALL the nations in the world.... Biblically, He uses A LOT Of natural disasters to get mankind's attention warning them to turn back to Him now before it's too latev.Every- one on this earth needs to hear this, not just America! They call it *global warming" but who's world is it? The God id Abraham, Isaac, Jacob and nisr imoirtabtky, Yeshua (Jesus) excuse me, friend, I am NOT a *r"eligious fanatic but I AM "a relationship with "Jesus" fanatic because he us amveey real abs g has v I b ok adung with humanity with open gmarns and ab ioen heart before that offer willv be recinded there is coming a time in our lifetimTheree wh re He knows those who will come to Him and those who want accept His free gift of salvation..Ask Jesus with Ibyour voice if He is to please reveal that to you so ththe son of God who takes away the sins if the worldat you will know that He us who they say He checks your heart to see if you are are seriously seeking the true God. And as far as countries go.. Please read: ll(According to the book of 2nd Chronicles 7:14) It starts there.💖🤔🥴😘🇺🇸🌹 Thank you for your attention towards what I have to say, and may the Lord bless you for your patience and kindness as I obviously at some point I changed the subject!! ; 🤔🥴😘🇺🇸🌹

am still trying to figure those jokes out ... sorry 😁

[@williamgraham3029]

The first (inflationary) simply takes any word with a number in it (even if not spelled like the number) and increases the number by one. So WON(sounds like one)derful becomes TWOderful. BeFORE(sounds like four) becomes beFIVE. And so forth (or so fifth, as it were).The second is just making sounds to replace what we use in writing, things like a . or a , or a : or a - for example.
