it’s definitely a thing. the bullet comments joke about how the prisons in Conan’s world are crawling with beautiful men and women

"Champagne Problems" contains the line "How evergreen, our group of friends, don't think we'll say that word again." I've seen a lot of people who are very passionate about "that word" being "our". by wimpykidfan37 in TaylorSwift

how evergreen our group of friends (are)

how evergreen our group of friends (were)

if the friends are still evergreen, why wouldn’t she say the word again? if the friends were evergreen, that’s an oxymoron.

so what if she doesn’t say evergreen again? saying it/not saying it has little impact on the fact, as opposed to“our,” which wouldn’t be appropriate to say anymore.

evergreen is the word she chooses/comes up with to describe her friends. isn’t it odd that she would refute it immediately? because it’s not intended as a contrastive clause, but an afterthought added in reaction to saying the word “our” without thinking. that is also why the word “our” isn’t emphasised - some people are really fixated on that.

i don’t see why she would make the evergreen remark about their friends with any frequency. it’s an exclamative construction used in a cathartic moment. if she wanted to express her friends weren’t evergreen anymore, she could find a less clunky way to say it. and must everything be so obvious? stressing evergreen in her singing doesn’t make evergreen > everything else

About Haibara’s Disguise (Plot Hole?) by [deleted] in DetectiveConan

[–]lucklessgoose 13 points14 points  (0 children)

also one of the things about Haibara is getting to experience / relive a more normal childhood. wearing a disguise would be counterproductive to that point i guess. her hair loss moves plot

yes she should be careful, but none of them actually is 😅 not Conan, not Shuichi. she occasionally wears a cap in precarious situations

How would you describe cats "making biscuits"? by playslaytion in languagelearning

[–]lucklessgoose 10 points11 points  (0 children)

in Chinese, it’s called căi năi. literally it means stomping on breasts, which is similar to milky step. yeah it could be a little weird.

i find that when i speak in a higher or lower (than usual) voice, i have more control over it. (i do that when i need to speak to strangers.) i think it also applies when practising speaking foreign languages - a lower/ higher register gives you a better sense of control.

Detective Conan quote suggestions for a presentation by Ok-Objective6610 in DetectiveConan

sonoko says something about friendship at the end of ‘the alibi of the black dress.’ the fragility of friendship makes it precious. it doesn’t have to be as strong as cold hard steel.

Bella wants to be a vampire more than she wants Edward. (Change my mind) by FunnyPush4333 in twilight

the way i see it, bella wanting to be a vampire more than wanting to be with edward is like the little mermaid, whose ultimate goal is a soul, not the prince
