Level four: Dragon Master!
Last week I accidentally did two posts in one day, so today you’re getting Dragon Drop! Do you remember anything great you’ve misheard or misunderstood? This is my favorite one lately, but I don’t know if it’s in my top ten of all time.
I’m working on next week’s longer post and want to know: what job did you want when you were a kid? What about that job appealed to you? Do you think you still would like it now? I’ll be illustrating some of them for next week.
If you’d rather send a message instead of leave a comment you can do that here:Th
Thanks for being here, I hope your week is full of Dragon Drop features, whatever those are.
Maybe not really the same thing, but this sure lives rent free in my head:
In Swedish, the word for mysterious is mystiskt. However, a friend once introduced the made up word mysteriskt instead, which sounds like a real word (in Swedish, trust me) but it obviously isn’t. This has now gotten stuck in my head, so every time I want to say it, I no longer instantly know which is the correct word.
By the way, I hear the phrase drag and drop surprisingly often, watching a Youtube channel focused on magnet fishing.
Edit: I just realized it’s not drag and drop I hear often, it’s of course drop and drag. 🙈
I think these days people are somewhat familiar with the concept of video aspect ratio, but back in the early 2000s when I was a video editor for corporate clients, one of our sales people once emailed me asking what “Aztec ratio” our videos were in. I never forgot that, and now that I’m married to another video editor this is the only way we say it. E.g. “I don’t want to watch old episodes of Seinfeld unless they’re in the original Aztec ratio!”
