MostlyHarmlessPeople who don't understand the difference between etymology and entomology bug me in ways I can't put into words.

@MostlyHarmless I heard a ‘ba-dum-tss’ when i read that ;)
FallsMom 🌻Yes that really stings
Suzanne Aldrich (she/her)@MostlyHarmless Oooh can we add cosmology vs. cosmetology?

#Epidemiology and something having to do with skin!

Ryan The Red 🖥️🚲🍺🏳️🌈@suzannealdrich @MostlyHarmless True facts: Physics was one of my favorite classes in high school. I sat behind my half-Japanese friend Mariko who had hair down to her waist that I liked to braid. Our teacher: "This is not cosmetology, Ryan."
Flaming Cheeto@MostlyHarmless I have a mental block about this word pair. The only way I can remember entomology is the study of insects is that ants like ENTenmann's cookies
Kevin RussellRelease no puns until they are fully groan.

Urban Hermit@MostlyHarmless Easy, one studies the origin of "bugs" while the other...studies...the origin...of bugs.?. Wait, that can't be right.
AutisticMumTo3@AutisticMumTo3 @MostlyHarmless using the word "bugs" as the example of a word only to repeat the sentence again for the other example was the joke. Thanks though.
David BarkinWhen I was a young man I introduced myself at parties as an eminent entomologist (a rather stupid lie). But most of those I spoke to thought I was an Etymologist... 😂
Jérôme Petazzoni@MostlyHarmless one of them flies above my head but I can never remember which one!
LaloofahDUDE @MostlyHarmless did not think there was such a thing as the perfect #nerdad joke, yet here it is in all it's nerdly beauty.
