Twice. Three times? Twice for sure.
At a fellow bloggers site, I read a word. Waltersobchakeit. There... was a definition offered. But? I... used to speak German. Perfectly? At one time well enough to pass, as German, in Germany. Then I took the language up again, later. But, no... not returning to even more than roughly conversable German. Still, I dug in deep, looked hard. I preferred weird words, with complex meanings.
I wanted to believe. But I couldn't. Especially with the proposed meaning? "You're not wrong, you're just an asshole." Now, I have to say, the word, pronounced Valt-airs-ob-share-kite, with such a meaning, would be impossible not to, know, keep on hand, use as frequently as possible. It's... almost... my job. I don't share these things, I usually only collect them.
An old favorite, I might even had included here? Schadenfreude.
Anyway. So, I did some digging. It is not real, or... wasn't real... until it is. Not German. Should I have known this? Maybe? Depends. I have read, from this blog, that the word comes from The Big Lebowski. Now, whether I should know it depends on if it was used in the show, or was derived from movie lines. I'll... have to check, in time.
I... laughed... at the initial presentation. Then I laughed at having been... sucked in... fooled enough to bother. Then, yes, I suppose a third time, thinking back on the movie, and a friend who used to visit here, who also had a thing for the B.L. Chuckle after chuckle. Some days life is simply pleasant in odd little ways. Thanks, Ace.
Oh, for me? While based in fiction, it is now a real word.
Hmm, may be bedtime? Maybe. Later, or goodnight.
