You have been sentenced to death in a magical court. The court allows all prisoners to pick how they die and they will carry it out immediately. You have it all figured out until the prisoner before you picks old age and is instantly transformed into a dying old man. Your turn approaches.

I can’t stop thinking about this.

The thing about a Midwestern politician calling people "weird," isn't just that "weird" means "anti-social" in Midwestern-ese, it's that commenting on behavior at all is a condemnation. Midwesterners turn the most neutral statements into scorching disapproval.

In Appalachia, they will come up with the more colorful, creative metaphor or simile imaginable. In the South, they will use some phrase that has 3-5 different meanings that it's legitimately used in so they have plausible deniability to tell someone else they just read the situation and usage wrong.

But Midwesterners are mostly "keep your eyes on your own paper" people. We can be helpful and kind, but for the most part, we are just not gonna comment on what you are doing for good or ill. Most of us do not take compliments any better than insults. There's a lot of tall poppy syndrome around.

So if Midwesterners comment, that comment means, "I am Noticing what you are doing, and I had damned well better Stop Noticing it right quick."

It's why "weird" means "anti-social." It means, "This stands out, and it stands out so much I'm going to have to say something despite everything in me telling me to mind my own business."

It's why you hear us say things like, "Well, that's different," and "Isn't that something," and "He's doing his best, isn't he?" and, "They're just weird." It is all said with the most skepticism possible.

NO ONE knows how to use thou/thee/thy/thine and i need to see that change if ur going to keep making “talking like a medieval peasant” jokes. /lh

They play the same roles as I/me/my/mine. In modern english, we use “you” for both the subject and the direct object/object of preposition/etc, so it’s difficult to compare “thou” to “you”.

So the trick is this: if you are trying to turn something Olde, first turn every “you” into first-person and then replace it like so:

“I” →  “thou”

“Me” →  “thee”

“My” →  “thy”

“Mine” →  “thine”

Let’s suppose we had the sentences “You have a cow. He gave it to you. It is your cow. The cow is yours”.

We could first imagine it in the first person-

“I have a cow. He gave it to me. It is my cow. The cow is mine”.

And then replace it-

“Thou hast a cow. He gave it to thee. It is thy cow. The cow is thine.”

This one is poignant for me
