A Journey Through Language
Eng.subs.2026.low.lift.ask.srt
Recently, I sent #BelSus (Beloved Subscriber) Jesse Aaronson a video titled “A Day Making NYC’s Most Viral Burritos.” I sent this to him because the two of us, last year, shared a meal there together. He replied that we have all collectively “bastardized the English language so much, man.” It was the phrase “viral burritos” that really ticked him off. And me? Well, I just have to agree. I have come across so many shocking examples of words recently. Compositions one could never dream of. Check these out.
I can hear Fallon saying this. I would love to say something was “one of the most viral videos that ever went out of our show in the history of our show.” I think the part that really gets me, ultimately, is “that ever went out of our show.” Out of our show.
Recent NBA Finals MVP Jalen Brunson recommended these products in his Strategist Can’t Live Without column. The hot sauce recommendations are one thing—he should read up on my thoughts—but what really blew my mind was how he decided to recommend Neutrogena Rainbath, a body wash that I, myself, use.
“I forget how or when that came about, but I saw this body wash and it smelled amazing.”
Don’t really know what “that” is referring to, and in which context, and I love the idea of “seeing” a body wash that “smelled” amazing.
Came across a series on Amazon Prime called Your Fault London, and its follow-up, My Fault London.
Your Fault London and My Fault London.
There’s no commas anywhere, and no colons. I don’t know what this could mean.
“Cooked against” is just wild. Cooked as a verb that implies opposition. But we move, I guess.
I’m not pro the man using AI, but I feel like you gotta be able to spell his name right if you want to publicly comment on it. This is just something that’s pissing me off.
Ritam’s Footnote
Would have enjoyed that burrito video! Wish someone had sent it to me!
