@Neverfadingwood This borrowing reflects a German tendency to chain together nouns that English doesn’t have. Here’s an interesting article from 2016 on the subject: https://theconversation.com/why-the-german-language-has-so-many-great-words-55554

I want to escape Twitter, but that has turned out to be harder than I thought. Mainly because of 213K followers. It took more than 8 years to achieve that.
But Mastodon has potential. I'm hoping it will be my new home.
My profile is now updated with more personal details. I don't want to do #factchecking or #debunking just via my website. Feel free to ask/tag me especially in case you see an iffy picture or video.
Note that my website doesn't have ads or tracking. https://hoaxeye.com/
It is Sunday and I hope you have a relaxing day #reading your #book of choice. #AmReading #Books #Bookstodon @bookstodon
Mastodon tip for noobs and others - if you're reading a long thread on the web view, and the toots are behind Content Warnings you don't have to tap Show More on every toot. Open the thread up and look for an eye button at the top of the column. It will have a line through it. Tap that to open all the CWs in the thread.
I can't say if this feature is in any of the various apps people may be using, but it's certainly worth looking for.
#GoodMorning to everyone on #Mastodon and in the #Fediverse.

TIL that the word kidnap is relatively recent and originally meant "to steal or carry off children or others in order to provide servants or labourers for the American plantations."

Not a bot; a rather corpulent male approaching fifty years of age; married; father; a very very slow reader; barely reaching up to the level of mediocrity; an ignoramus who reads occasionally.
Toots are humanities, sciences, books and maps related. Toots or follows or boosts or mentions ≠ endorsements of any particular notion or notions. Expect many typing errors.
Addendum: for those wondering, I do not physically resemble a fountain pen.
