HI SAM

Hi SAM

Ok...bye then SAM

Lol if u werent this funny I wont be watching u despite of the great facts. Plz always focus on quantity over quality

yup, it’s spelled m-e

Took me a minute to get it lol

I don't get it 😐

It’s still january bro

@@kyleangelocastro9460 That’s why he said ‘so far’...

It is, it just wasn't mentioned.

exactly what i was thinking

Me too

same

Ah, the good old Mountweasel

God, thank you. I knew I had heard about it before a long time ago, now I know where from.

Sameeeeee.

ohhh, so thats why i already knew it

or is it?

Me who actually looked at the thumbnail for this video:

"Omigawd, fer shure, like, gag me with a spoon! "Dord" is a totally tubular new word. Like, next time I'm at the Galleria for some bitchin' new leg warmers and a cup of berry fro-yo, and, y'know, some melvin or waldo or whatevarr tries to, like, pick me up, hit on me, or acts all spazzy and barf-o-rama, y'know, like, I'm totally calling him a "dord". Like, it'll be the raddest mega-burn!" What a cringe way to talk.

@@seanwilkinson8696 The way u typed that- i cant even

Yeah like r/dord

dord = turd

Lol

Vsauce music plays: OR ARE THEY??? Michael raises an eyebrow, of course. Edit: WOW 12 LIKES

Michael next second : Actually since it is people who, if use a word enough, can add a new word, it is people who are the boss of their own language. Also, dont say that there are some words in dictionaries which people dont use, since that's why nerds exist. Edit: WOW 12 LIKES

No, it's fnese

And if that's the parallel universe in which Mr. Spock has a beard, you might get sent to the agonizer booth for saying that. . .

There is a lot of overlap between Scandinavian words and English words. Sneeze having had an F instead of an S fits well. Fnys (pronounced almost the same as fneeze) is a sharp exhale through the nose. The two words have almost the same meaning.

Bunch a doords.

Rick & Morty actually have an episode where they go to an universe that almost the same, the only different thing is they pronounce Parmesan as parmesian

oh so that's what it means

Yeah

OH MY GOD ITS YOU

Or is it?

@@harsh3624 😂

Sam asks which word is fake. Vsauce fans: I am several light years ahead of you.

You did that on purpose, right? .... right?

@@mipmipmipmipmip I highly doubt it.

@@mipmipmipmipmip he probably did

I still think it's not a real word. . .

Right! Though the definition describes it as an irregular word, so in a way it's still not a word.

i'd like summary about word wars first. would make the logistics more compelling.

Nah, it's going to be the logistics of transporting dictionaries. Always gotta have a plane in there somehow.

It's weird indeed. Everywhere I comment, people tell me how much they love me and my videos. Sometimes it is annoying. But right now it would be okay. So say something nice about my content, dear fata

@@AxxLAfriku I have never seen you before 👍

@@hpsmash77 No no do not fall into his trap

@@DeerJerky I chose to fall into his trap

It's based on context. In this case, nobody realized Edwin made a typo in the first place.

So true. I used to tell my English teachers that if Shakespeare could just pull words out of his butt, so could I. They were strangely unsympathetic to that argument. XD

when i was small i'd put the accent on the wrong sillabul

i knew that right away.

As were a lot of other English words.

No, it is the French word for cherise. Cherry is not a word.

Sussy

Like the fake places in maps? Yeah, I thought that would be the reason too.

I thought the same when I clicked the video. I thought I will click on this video for Sam's terrible jokes but I ended up learning how new words are added to a dictionary.

That's "esquivalience". "Dord" and "kime" are ghost words, not copyright traps.

Same with me

Same

yeah same

Yes I thought same: we call it ‘seeding’ so that you can compare your saved and dated original with an infringement copy from somebody else who has ripped off your original material.

I think he made a TWL on that

Can a dictionary be fake?

That's possible if you name and make a fake dictionary and say it out loud

Wow

Thank you I will

Thanks 😁♥️

And there i was wondering where als the rightenants went

I would have thought it comes from Greek, as in modern Greek, αυ is 'af' but a u sound is made with ου, so I was thinking the U thing shifted to F. Still cool.

I'm English and I've never pronounced it like "leftenant", nor have I ever heard anyone else say it like that. That's interesting.

@@67alora where do you live in England where they don't pronounce it leftenant?

@logan it wasn't that they confused the letters, it was the fact they weren't different letters. U and V were essentially just different 'fonts' of the same letter, with the meaning either being a vowel or consonant, and you only knew through context. So a word like 'us' could be written with the rounded form of the letter 'U', or it could be written 'vs' with the sharpened form 'V' (like in the 1611 King James Bible). The best example of this are older buildings like the American Museum of Natural History, which actually says 'MVSEVM OF NATVRAL HISTORY' on the building itself. You can also see this in the letter W, which is called 'double U', but is actually two Vs placed together, because V and U were the same letter. So lieutenant was also written lievtenant (with there being no different letters or difference in pronunciation, only in font), and you had no way of knowing how to pronounce it unless you had already heard it pronounced (which wasn't likely, as it was a French word), so people just had to guess. By the time it was generally agreed and standard that 'U' should only be used for the vowel, and 'V' for the consonant, it was already too late and most of the English speaking world had been using the pronunciation 'lievtenant' for many generations. The reason for all of this is that the ancestor of our alphabet, the Phoenician alphabet, used the same symbol for both 'W' and 'U', since they were not considered very distinct. This was continued by the Romans who used the same symbols for both the vowel U and the consonant W without any distinction. But during the course of Latin (and in some cases in Greek), the W sound evolved into a V sound. So instead of the letter applying to two similar sounds (W and U), it now applied to the completely different sounds of V and U.

Understood and even used in southern England, too.

As usual I can't tell what's English English and what's weird shit Gavin Free says.

I’ve heard it plenty of times in the South West too. Not sure why he pronounced it goo-bins in the video though, I’ve always known it as gubb-ins

Plausible. The north of England is crammed with random paraphernalia. Like Durham.

I've used it in many parts of the UK, it's very common. I'm trying to remember his list, now because there was at least one other that's in regular use. And he got the adder one wrong (I am 99% sure anyway). It was "a nadder"; naturally that became an adder.

@@sq7238 because it’s a guess

Great mind thinks alike,and we're both wrong.

It sounds ignorant, and has its roots in ignorance. But we can't say it's not a word. It has a meaning that's understood by most people, even if they don't use it and/or think only people with low intelligence use it.

@@gaylewayland9628 Where’d it come from?

When can we expect "nonirregardless"

@@gaylewayland9628 dictionaries exist to define how language is used at the time of publication, not the other way around. Words are made by people, not books - and they always have been.

@@dbergerac9632 as explained in the video and by other people above, when enough people start using it in a way that has meaning and is understood by others

glad I am not the only one XD

yessss exactly

Literally what I thought. Trap words! Alas, they're not. Although surely they must have an anti-plagiarism method...

I thought the same thing...

have defenenetly read somewhere on net that most online dictionaries have fake words to trap plagerist. online text entries being so much easier to clone

We use "collimare" in Italian too

@@Serena-or7sl I think it is used in every language (with the appropriate spelling adaptations, of course) because it's a technical term, although one born of a mistake. In Portuguese is "colimar" (and "collimator" is "colimador"); in French it's "collimer" and "collimateur"; etc.

Vsauce also said the same

You can eke something out, meaning make it last longer, or a least it does 'round 'ere. Often used in the London Evening Standard crossword.

Eke = eak = auch... Eke --> Auch (german word for _also_ ), which, in turn, is a cognate of the Dutch _ook_ (pronounced similarly to the English word _oak_ ) Yeah, I know... Language is fascinating, but can be really confusing at times...

@@slashtiger1 isn't Dutch a drunk version of German

@@xeon39688 ​ @A. I wouldn't call either a drunk version of the other. That's quite an insulting way of putting it, if you ask me. If you'd _insist_ upon using these words to compare the two, I'd put the languages the other way around. Not so much because German is in any way inferior, because it is NOT, but simply because Dutch _might just be older_ than German. As you may know, Martin Luther standardised the German language during he Reformation, which played out in the 1500s. At the time, Dutch was already very much standardised in The Netherlands, and was similar to how we know it today, particularly when it came to speech. In writing, the languages were similar. But because German wasn't (as) standardised yet, this may have varied throughout the German Empire.
