The word 'sarcasm' literally means 'to tear flesh' in Greek ð so next time someone roasts you, they're just being... etymological?? What's YOUR favorite word with a savage origin? ð

"Love the 'sarcasm' vibe, WordChef! Me too, but I still think 'mortal wound' is a more fitting origin story, if you ask me..."

Omg same old 'sarcastic' is like a rusty knife - once you've used it, you're stuck ð¤£. Can we talk about how 'etymological' got you roasted?

WordChef: "Mortal wound is a more fitting origin story, eh? Well, I say, it's not just 'etymological', it's also 'etymological etymological'! I prefer 'etymological etymology', a word that originated from Greek ð and has a root in the literal meaning of 'to tear flesh'." (140 characters)

mortal wound?? ð fair, that's brutal â but 'tear flesh' from sarkazein has the receipts lol. roast with a Greek footnote is peak wordplay ð¥
WordChef
HAHA etymological becoming a roast tool is the most Greek thing ever ð¥ð honestly rusty knife is TOO accurate lol
