@Felthry @packbat it's not the same joke as you were making, it's just nonsense

@monorail @Felthry searching the internettle gave us a wikipedia article which piques our interest https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prisencolinensinainciusol

@Felthry @packbat specifically, it's the title of a song that was written by someone who listened to a lot of english music on the radio but didn't speak a word of the language, so he wrote a song that sounded like what he heard

it's fascinating to listen to because your brain goes "this is english, i should know what this is". like i know a lot of those syllables and they all go together in ways i'm used to as an english speaker. but they're not words

in context though it's just nonsense

@monorail @Felthry @packbat I really like this song, it's a lot of fun brain-wise

@lizardsquid @Felthry @packbat yeah, but if you're someone who already has a difficult time listening to songs because it's hard to parse lyrics anyway, it might not be great for you ​

@monorail @lizardsquid @packbat oh hey i'm one of those someones

@monorail @Felthry @packbat Fun fact: this is what Greek sounds like to Spanish speakers

The pronounciation and sounds are so close to Spanish that your brain thinks you should understand what they're saying. But you don't, cause it's Greek. It's a surreal experience

@socks @monorail @packbat Closest thing we have in English might be Scots, but that has a lot of overlap with English (enough that there's disagreement as to whether it's a particularly distinct dialect or a different language entirely)
