Listen I have learned English as a second language for 20+ years and my brain still aborts when I see that word
That word’s at least partly French, right?
French is my second language and english is my third. I can assure you that word can only fucking come from like the Necronomicon or something like that bc you won’t find anything so cursed even in french
English is my first language and I still hate that goddamn word.
Yacht is a mangled version of Jaghte, from Dutch, where it indicated a fast ship for hunting pirates. In English, it turned into a fast pleasure ship.
I guess the lesson here is, ‘if something’s too cursed to be French, then it’s probably Dutch’ and I fully support that.
