i dont know anything about kpop at all it doesnt interest me in the slightest i think its like the pinnacle of weird celebrity culture. but even so im completely enamoured with the concept of nct. i love that theres a seemingly endless stream of guys. i like to imagine them all queueing up to get into one single comically long limousine. imagine you have to tuck them all into bed and give them a kiss on the forehead and you start at 8:30pm (their bedtime) and because theres so many of them by the time youve lovingly put the last member of nct to bed its morning. you pull up to mcdonalds drivethru and deliver a 15 minute long monologue to get every member of ncts order. this is the funniest picture in the world it looks like the UNs security council
Cropped image of medieval-stylized printed text, focused on a line which reads: “This wenche thikke”

Thank you for adding this image description! Just wanted to clarify that it’s not stylised, but actual Middle English. The text is from The Canterbury Tales.
Okay, had to track it down. It’s from the Reeve’s Tale, and it’s a description of a 20yo young woman:
This wenche thikke and wel y-growen was, With camuse nose and yën greye as glas; With buttokes brode and brestes rounde and hye, But right fair was hir heer, I wol nat lye.
In modern English (had to look up “camuse”, so that’s as good as my source, but I know the rest)
This wench was thick and well-grown With a pug nose and eyes grey as glass; With buttocks broad and breasts round and high, But right fair was her hair, I will not lie.
The fact that Chaucer had “big butt” and “I will not lie” within two lines of each other is causing me disproportionate amusement. Also the fact that “this wenche thikke” works equally well in Middle English and in modern slang.
nice to know people have always been fokin hornby for thikke wenches
The contrarian owl makes a good point. Rather than divide ourselves we should organize with the boomer hippies and gen-x slackers to demand fair work for fair wages so that nobody has to work themselves to the grave.
