That post about Edward from twilight is going to singlehandedly change the definition of “effervescent.” In like 3 decades there’ll be a note on the etymology of the secondary definition and it’ll have to cite that snail post as the origin of the linguistic shift
What’s it supposed to mean now?
Effervescent’s primary definition is a chemistry term referring to air escaping from liquid in foam, bubbles, or fizziness and the etymology connects back to the Latin verb fervere (to boil). There is already a secondary definition, which I’m guessing is what the OP of that post was using, meaning like “a bubbly personality” or vivacious, enthusiastic, etc. The idea of the post is that his character would look at something small, slow, quiet, (boring) like a snail and just interpret it as this lively wonderful being– which tracks with the common understanding of Bella as a character lacking much personality or liveliness and Edward finding her to be the same way. But, with the post being meme’d, the connotation is shifting from a sort of descriptor of bubbly personality to the idea of finding something incredible or awe inspiring (with a layer of irony added in that it’s something not usually regarded as incredible or awe inspiring). The usage and thus the definition is gradually shifting in a similar direction to “fantastic” or “awesome” where the original usage has taken a back seat to a much more common usage of hyperbole.
concept: elves are supernaturally good at everything ONLY because they live to be bonkers old and if you were hot and sexy for thousands of years you’d be kickass at archery and treeclimbing and horseback riding too. but like there’s 20 year old elves out there that are just straight dumbasses who can’t do shit.
concept: non-elves can’t tell the 20 year old elves apart from the 2000 year old elves
concept: there’s a 20 year old elf in your tavern and he’s counting on this
They exist in Haiti. Thats how my great great great grandfather died.
Wait hold on someone explain this to me I’m so lost lol
The belief is Haiti is that certain women can live under water and will lived there for years… These women are extremely beautiful and men being men can’t stay away from a good looking women are seduce and then dragged under water and are never to be seen again… My great grandmother was one of these women… One day her mother sent her to go get water from the river and she never came back 10 years later they see her come up the road in all white with beautiful jewelry all around her body sing up a storm.. When her family asked her where she was she told them she was under water… thats the story my grandma always use to tell me growing up

But not for long. With your support, we can capture Mario and chop off his hands so this never happens again
