Wadj wer Puns

Meaning of Name: “The Great Green”

A Hapi-like fecundity figure, Wadj-Wer was long believed to be the personification of the Mediterranean Sea, but is now thought to have actually represented the large lakes and lagoons of the north Delta region. Wadj-Wer was associated with protection in the Duat. He was shown as a man with long hair, a large belly, and heavy breasts, symbolizing the rich yield of the area he represents. Wadj-Wer was often depicted as carrying a palm branch or trays of food. His body was always covered in symbolic waves.

Egyptian Deities - W

Welcome once again to my Riordan Retrospective.  For those of you just joining the fun, this is my look back at the works of Rick Riordan.  That means Percy Jackson, its sequels, and spin-offs.  This is less of a formal review and more of a casual look back.  This time, we’re looking at the Percy Jackson/Kane Chronicles crossover Demigods & Magicians .

I'd been putting this one off because the audiobook wasn't available through Audible.com, my preferred source of audiobooks.  However, it is available via iTunes, but not as a complete set.  Just type in the name of the individual stories: “The Son of Sobek” , “The Staff of Serapis , and “The Crown of Ptolemy”  The one you want is the one that cost $2.99, because those are the ones that comes with the audiobooks.  While we're on the subject, there is a very special narrator for "Son of Sobek" and "Staff of Serapis".  You see, Rick Riordan himself narrates these stories.  He is just as great a narrator as he is a writer.  It is certainly interesting to see how he imagines the characters sounding.  It isn't terribly different to how Jesse Bernstein narrates.  Incidentally, Jesse returns to narrate "Crown of Ptolemy".  He is as excellent as ever.

The first story is called "The Son of Sobek."  Carter Kane is on a mission to Long Island to investigate reports of mysterious magical activity.  He's nearly eaten by a giant crocodile, but is saved by a teenager wielding magic like nothing Carter's ever seen before.  The teenager's name?  Percy Jackson.  Carter and Percy are going to have to team up to take down a petsuchos.

Interesting that the crossover begin's from the Kane's point-of-view, rather than Percy's.  Then again, 2/3 of the crossover are told from Percy and Annabeth's point-of-view.  Also interesting in that the monster of the story was a purely Egyptian creature, rather than a Greco-Egyptian hybrid like the other stories.  I like how these story feel like a throwback to the early days when Percy Jackson and the Olympians was still making a name for itself.  We'd all been hoping for something like this; epically after all the hints Rick left in The Kane Chronicles.  Also, we finally get to see Percy use h

I don't want to step on anybody's toes here, but the amount of non-dad jokes here in this subreddit really annoys me. First of all, dad jokes CAN be NSFW, it clearly says so in the sub rules. Secondly, it doesn't automatically make it a dad joke if it's from a conversation between you and your child. Most importantly, the jokes that your CHILDREN tell YOU are not dad jokes. The point of a dad joke is that it's so cheesy only a dad who's trying to be funny would make such a joke. That's it. They are stupid plays on words, lame puns and so on. There has to be a clever pun or wordplay for it to be considered a dad joke.

Again, to all the fellow dads, I apologise if I'm sounding too harsh. But I just needed to get it off my chest.

Alot of great jokes get posted here! However just because you have a joke, doesn't mean it's a dad joke.

How the hell am I suppose to know when it’s raining in Sweden?

Ants don’t even have the concept fathers, let alone a good dad joke. Keep r/ants out of my r/dadjokes.

But no, seriously. I understand rule 7 is great to have intelligent discussion, but sometimes it feels like 1 in 10 posts here is someone getting upset about the jokes on this sub. Let the mods deal with it, they regulate the sub.

They were cooked in Greece.

I'm surprised it hasn't decade.

Now that I listen to albums, I hardly ever leave the house.

Two muffins are in an oven, one muffin looks at the other and says "is it just me, or is it hot in here?"

Then the other muffin says "AHH, TALKING MUFFIN!!!"

Don't you know a good pun is its own reword?

For context I'm a Refuse Driver (Garbage man) & today I was on food waste. After I'd tipped I was checking the wagon for any defects when I spotted a lone pea balanced on the lifts.

I said "hey look, an escaPEA"

No one near me but it didn't half make me laugh for a good hour or so!

Edit: I can't believe how much this has blown up. Thank you everyone I've had a blast reading through the replies 😂

It really does, I swear!

And now I’m cannelloni

Because she wanted to see the task manager.

But that’s comparing apples to oranges

And boy are my arms legs.

Heard they've been doing some shady business.

but then I remembered it was ground this morning.

Edit: Thank you guys for the awards, they're much nicer than the cardboard sleeve I've been using and reassures me that my jokes aren't stale

Edit 2: I have already been made aware that Men In Black 3 has told a version of this joke before. If the joke is not new to you, please enjoy any of the single origin puns in the comments

BamBOO!

They’re on standbi

A play on words.

My daughter, Chewbecca, not so much.

Pilot on me!!

Nothing, he was gladiator.

Dad jokes are supposed to be jokes you can tell a kid and they will understand it and find it funny.

This sub is mostly just NSFW puns now.

If it needs a NSFW tag it's not a dad joke. There should just be a NSFW puns subreddit for that.

Edit* I'm not replying any longer and turning off notifications but to all those that say "no one cares", there sure are a lot of you arguing about it. Maybe I'm wrong but you people don't need to be rude about it. If you really don't care, don't comment.

Or would that be too forward thinking?

Egyptian Name: Wadj

The ancient Egyptian concept of "green" covered all shades of the color, as well as some blues. To the ancient Egyptians, green was the color of vegetation and new life. To do "green things" was slang for beneficial, life-producing behavior. Green malachite was a symbol of joy, and the land of the blessed dead was described as the "field of malachite." The Pyramid Texts say “Sew emerald, turquoise, malachite stars / and grow green, green as a living reed.”

In Egyptian statuary and jewelry green was represented by stones such as emerald, green jasper, faience, turquoise, peridot, olivine, green feldspar, serpentine, green glass, beryl, jade, chrysoprase, and green quartz. The pigment green was derived from malachite, a natural copper ore, or manufactured by mixing oxides of copper and iron with silica and calcium.

Wadj, the Egyptian word for green, meant "to flourish" or "be healthy," and was also used as the name for the papyrus plant. Amulets such as the Eye of Horus and the Papyrus Scepter were made of green stone, to help the dead be reborn like a flourishing papyrus. In Chapter 77 of the Book of the Dead, it is said that the deceased will become a falcon "whose wings are of green stone." In Egyptian texts, lucky days were written in green ink. Priests drew the Feather of Ma'at on their tongues with green dye, so that the words they spoke were truth.

Fertility deities were often pictured as green, such as Hapi, Taweret, and Geb, who was known as Wadj Wer ("The Great Green.") Osiris, the King of the [Afterlife](https://www.reddit.

Egyptian Name: Kem

The ancient Egyptian concept of "black" covered all shades of the color as well as grey, purple, and some browns. Different shades of black were identified, such as djab black (the color of coal and black hair), kem black (the dark brown of soil, the black of skin, the color of onyx, and in some instances the grey of water), and kek black (purple, and the pure blackness of the night.)

In Egyptian statuary and jewelry black was represented by stones and woods such as hematite, basalt, onyx, ebony, obsidian, amethyst, or steatite. Black pigments were created from carbon compounds such as soot, ground charcoal, or bone black (burnt animal bones.)

While kek black negatively symbolized death and nothingness, kem black represented eternity, regeneration, and resurrection. The association of life and fertility with kem black is likely due to the abundance provided by the dark silt of the annual inundation of the Nile. The color of the silt became emblematic of Egypt itself, and the country was called Kemet ("the Black Land") by its people from early antiquity.

The color black carried powerful connotations of fertility and regeneration, and was also the color of the Duat, where the sun regenerated every night. Sacred animals such as the jackal of Anubis and the bull of Mnevis were pictured as black. The hardness of black stones was symbolic of endurance - important amulets such as the Two-Finger Amulet were made of such materials to ensure that their magical powers lasted for all eternity.

The body of the deceased turned black during mummification. Osiris, the King of the Afterlife, was often portrayed with black skin. He was called both Kmj Wer ("The Great Black") and Wadj Wer ("The Great [Green](h
