My biggest pet peeve is when there is an "olden english" or whatever text with "Ye", and people pronounce it like "Ye" when it really is the same as "the", just with þ ("th") turned to y

Here's what I mean

No no no, porn is videos of people fucking. A þorn is like a trumpet, trombone, or tuba.

No, that's a horn you're talking about. þorn is a cultivated form of cereal grass/grain, with a fancy cob growing on top of a tall stalk. When it's one of the variants that's grown for food, it's usually very tasty when grilled, with just some butter and salt.

My friend, I believe you were thinking of corn. In fact, þorn is an American nu metal band from Bakersfield, California, originally formed in 1993 by James "Munky" Shaffer, Reginald "Fieldy" Arvizu and David Silveria.

I guess you must be referring to the Band "Korn", with a K.

Michael þorn ist the actor who played Lt. Worf in various Star Trek series, originally in "The Next Generation".

No that's Michael Dorn.

þorn is 2022 video game which was for a large part inspired by the works of H.R. Giger and Zdzisław Beksiński

Even worse, 666dollarfootlong will summon all the discourse around the þorn.

but since you used it in context I'll let it $lide

[-] Squizzy@lemmy.world 6 points 2 days ago
