Transcript of “Articles, the Greek God of Web Posts”
A couple more examples of English words that are mispronounced so that they sound like Greek names.
Emmett O’Keefe on our Facebook group suggested the name Vehicles, who is the god of getting there faster, Beakles.
One thing I love about these is that they invert that almost cliched old joke about clothing, which is Euripides Eumenides.
Right.
Where you turn Greek names into English words.
Yeah, and then you start looking at these words and you can’t not do it in your head.
He also mentioned Chronicles, who is the god of boring old stories.
No, I love Chronicles.
And another one of my favorites, Grant, was from Emmett Red, who talked about the god of low power consuming lamps.
And that’s L-E-D-I-D-E-S.
L-E-D-I-D-E-S.
Oh, that was clever.
