Everything is an innuendo if your mind is in the gutter.

There are also people who can't distinguish between entomology and enterology.

General_Effort@lemmy.world · 7 pts · 218d (2 replies)

Etymology note: The word enterology does not seem related to the word enter.

@TheLeadenSea@sh.itjust.works You made me look this up.

KSPAtlas@sopuli.xyz · 6 pts · 218d (1 reply)

It actually is,

enterology (English) -> entero- (Latin prefix) -> ἔντερον (Greek) -> h₁énteros (PIE) -> intrō (Latin) -> enter (English)

General_Effort@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 218d

Oh come on. Going all the way back to PIE doesn't count. Like, both has to do with insides. But enterology does not inherit the suggestion of entry, which would have been funny.

The quality of that picture copied and compressed time and time again is fitting the age of that joke.

Same with astronomy and astrology. "I'm interested in astronomy."
