Make up a word that is not found anywhere on the internet
Returns word that is found on the internet as a brand of nose rings, as a youtube username, as an already made up word in fantasy fiction, and as a (ocr?) typo of urethra
- Comment on Why is the progress pride flag so poorly designed (especially the intersex progress pride flag)? Will it be redesigned? 3 weeks ago:
i was sceptical of this claim but it appears you’re dead right
Most people do not know about this flag’s origins. Its creator appropriated Gilbert Baker’s 1978 rainbow flag and the light blue, pink, and white stripes from the 1999 trans pride flag created by Monica Helms (without even a call to her), and the black and brown stripes from the 2017 More Colors More Pride Flag designed in partnership with Philadelphia’s Office of LGBT Affairs and then proceeded to LICENSE THE DESIGN FOR PROFIT

- Comment on Do British people say "brr" when they're cold? If so, how do they pronounce the R? 2 months ago:
If it is particularly taters out it can be done by clenching your teeth, lips together but not firmly closed, saying ‘buh’ and blowing. The ‘rrrr’ is produced by your lips flapping together. It is quite fun to do
