Plato’s Cave

The law, in its majestic equality, forbids rich and poor alike from sleeping under bridges, begging on the streets and stealing bread.

Its basically the same in German: Rhabarberbarbar. Or did you just forgot the h after the r? If so, then its identical to German :D

Yeah she actually means the Pluralism Benevolentiae. E.g. when a nurse is saying “We go to the toilet now, aren’t we?” but it actually means “You must go to the toilet but I will be there with you”.

There is also the Pluralis inclusivus like in scientific texts. Which I personally find really weird.

But be careful: do not press hard on the toothstick. It will splinter and then you will have a real problem getting the port clean. Source: my phone port :(

So this meme would only make sense in Old High German.

Maybe I put it wrong, but it works even better in modern Germany: “Stuhl” means chair in modern German. The joke/pun is well-known in German: “Darf ich Ihnen den Stuhl zurückschieben?” So unlike in the English version, “Stuhl” literally both means “chair” and “poop”.

No no, it works even better: “Stuhl” means chair in modern German. The joke/pun is well-known in German: “Darf ich Ihnen den Stuhl zurückschieben?” So unlike in the English version, “Stuhl” literally both means “chair” and “poop”.

Great to see a fellow frog in the wild!

I am guessing this comes directly from German

The German and English wikipedia have interesting information about the etymology of the English chair and the German Stuhl:

Chair:

Chair comes from the early 13th-century English word chaere, from Old French chaiere (“chair, seat, throne”), from Latin cathedra (“seat”).

Stuhl:

[…] althochdeutsch stuol ‚Sitz, Thron‘ […]

(Old high German stuol meaning ‘seat’ or ‘throne’

Das Wort Stuhl […] ist mit l-Suffix zur indoeuropäischen Wurzel *stā-, *stǝ- ‚stehen, stellen‘ gebildet.

(The word Stuhl is built from the proto-indo-european language by adding the suffix ‘l’ to the root ‘*stā’ or ‘*stǝ’ which means ‘to stand’)

So both means seat/seating or throne but chair is more a throne-like furniture (by having arm rests and/or back rest) whereas Stuhl was more like a simple stool (a small foot rest or seating without any back rest or arm rests). In German we use “Schemel” or “Hocker” to describe such a stool. “Schemel” seems to come from “scamilla”, Latin for small bench.

I have no idea how all this information helps us, but it’s interesting :D

It works at least in German: Stuhl is both the furniture and the term doctors use to describe poop.
