Useless Facts

Yes! After quite some time of not being aware of its existence...

 

Stressed spelt backwards is desserts.

Why has noone mentioned this to me before!?

 

"Strengths" is the longest word in the English language that has only one vowel. Eight consonants, one vowel. Beat that record, other languages!

 

And in the other direction: "aqueous"

 

I'm not even going to ask how you figured that one out...

 

Unlike conventional tornadoes, most waterspouts are not formed by supercells or mesocyclones, and their winds rarely reach above 70 mph. They also have land-based counterparts known as landspouts.

 

*Stewardesses actually

 

Vsauce is one of the few people I still watch on you tube. This guy always has interesting insights.

 

Hunth is a spoken and written abbreviation of Hundred Thousand and rhymes perfectly with month. Sporange rhymes with orange and is a botanical term for a part of a fern. Curple rhymes with purple and means the rump or buttocks. Chilver rhymes with silver and is defined as a female lamb.

Although all these words are rare, unused, and pretty much forgotten, it seems there isn't a word without a perfect rhyme

 

Hat!






Oh, wait... cat. Damn it!

 

See the Welsh language.

TWYNDYLLYNGS: English actually, so no English vowels. derived from the Welsh language and it does exist in the Oxford English Dictionary.

This isn't related to no vowels, but it is a very long word, again in Welsh.

 

Welsh members, please don't take offense when I say that I'm not even going to try and pronounce that. I'm just gonna say, “Have fun with that word.”

Useless Fact From Moi:
- I'm falling in love with George R.R. Martin's writing. Hope I didn't wait until the tail end of his magnum opus to get into it, though knowing my luck... I did. Dammit! >:[

 

Don't feel too bad, I haven't even started any of Martin's work. I'd like to though.

 

@Aidan Stern: It must be awfully hard to be Welsh. It's like you need a Master's degree in being Welsh before you can even be born in Wales.

 

True, true.
I'm not actually Welsh, I'm just fascinated with the language.

I'm fascinated with language and communication, subsequently, I LOVE foreign language. Especially ones that are really fun like Welsh, Gaelic, Russian, Czech, etc.

 

No, you need to kill a red dragon. Most of us here haven't. That is because we are not Welsh. Only they can kill red dragons using ancient Welsh magic of which no one but the Welsh can know. We are outsiders, barbarians.

 

CHALLENGE ACCEPTED

If I can memorize 100% of Frozen's "Let It Go" in both the English and Japanese versions (and about 80% of the Malay), then I can memorize this too!

... Probably.

EDIT Useless fact: I have memorized 100% of "Let it Go" in English, Japanese, and 80% in Malay

 

You waste a lot of time, don't you? News flash: Life is short, dude!

 

*breaks out into a song and dance*
Let it goooooo
Let it goooooo
Let go of all your fears!
Come indulge in all your whims,
Do what you will, no one else can argguuuue!
Let it goooo
Let it goooo!
Time never bothered me anyway!

 

No offense, but in this case, you're lucky you're partly deaf. The rest of us have to hear the whole song, and I wouldn't wish that on anybody.

 

Agreed. Everybody knows the songs from Tangled are better.
