Italian not missing a beat in making things sound like pasta.

Wait that's what bowtie pasta is named after isn't it

Ok but Schmetterling doesn’t even sound worse. Just picture it in a not angry German accent

Zangendeutsch: Butterfliege

That's funny, in Brazilian Portuguese 'mariposa' means 'moth', and the word for 'butterfly' is 'borboleta'. TDIL.

TOOL was the first group of people who proved to me that innocuous german words can be made to sound like a thundering political speech filled with evil intent when in reality it's just a cake (cookie?) recipe with no eggs.

This image is so ancient it doesn't use flags emoji.

Someone once told me to that words for things that are not traded across linguistic borders exhibit more linguistic diversity (as in, neighbouring countries use completely different words that share no common etymological roots etc.). Butterfly is one key example.

Butterfly is a terrible name

ผีเสื้อ in Thai translates to “shirt ghost” 🤷 it sounds very similar to the tone-deaf as “tiger ghost” which is certainly a cooler name, but nope.

We used to call then flutterbys definitely trolling

Afrikaans: skoenlapper, which translates to shoe licker.

Ancient meme. Handle with caution

A schmetterling is the approximate amount of shit one spackles into the bowl of the toilet after a particularly fibrous day. It's not so much that it clogs the plumbing or anything, but it certainly leaves a schmetterling of evidence behind for the next man to attempt to knock loose with his stream.

A very beautiful word.

SCHMETTERLING!!!
