El Coco now has your return address.
This is so sweet lmao
That is an odd phrase, isn't it? I wonder why we say that.
It stems from the outdated word "affray" which meant a disturbance in peace by fighting in public space (both verbal and/or physical).
Going further back, "affray" originates from the Old English word frithu which itself comes from the German word Friede ("peace"). The prefix "a-" usually means 'absence of' in nouns, so "affray" means absence of peace.
So, if you look at it closely, 'afraid' having the meaning of 'scared' means you have a quarrel with your inner peace, much akin to your inner dispute when you know that you are about to inconvenience somebody.
German or germanic?
Germanic in this case, you're right. But it's also the German word lol
That is interesting.
Isn't it short for "I'm afraid to say"?
As in, it gives me discomfort to tell you.
As if every person is a feudal lord who might strike you down for your impudence.
Rich Hall has a routine about this. "We're all out of crab salad... I'm afraid."
I will never not love this! Wholesome/neutral no malice teasing is so rare
He's willing to pay for an entire ship to pick it up. Probably a Spanish Galleon. I'd be afraid of the conquistadors inside.
Suspect English may not be first language for them.
I want to know what's shipping from ๐ช๐ธ
As someone who sets up international computer wafer shipments, there's plenty reason to be afraid of foreign customs lol. One little mismatch in the data and they get on your ass. Certain countries are especially picky too
dont let ur memes be dreams !
Ah, a common fellow Spaniard yokel.
Everything has to be dubbed and fully translated into Spanish. Our former president (well, you call it "prime minister") didn't even know english either.
