I find it hilarious when people use big words they don't fully understand to make themselves feel more...

Colloquialism.

An Astronomy Lesson

One of the most interesting objects in the night sky is a fuzzy patch of stars known colloquially as the β€œSeven Sisters”. In order to find it, first find the constellation Orion, and follow the direction his Bow is shooting.

No thanks necessary, we aim to Pleiades.

This one is in spanish, but I’ll translate also!!

ΒΏQuΓ© dijo la gallina de un lado del camino a la gallina del otro lado del camino?

β€œΒ‘PA’CA! Β‘PA’CA!”

English:

What did the chicken on one side of the road say to the chicken on the other side of the road?

β€œOver here! Over here!”

(β€œPa’ca” means β€œover here” in colloquial Spanish)

(I’m of Cuban descent for reference)

A dad joke in Arabic!

In Arabic, there are two firms: formal and colloquial. In the formal form, generally when you want to ask someone how they're doing you say "Kayf al-haal" which means "How is the state of being?" Literally asking how they are. In Kuwaiti colloquial however you say "wishlonak" which means the same thing colloquially but literally means "What color are you?"

My friend calls me and says "wishlonak" and I immediately respond "Brown!" And then burst out laughing at my own cleverness.

After typing it out I feel really lame

My son told me couldn't hear people in normal conversation

So we got him a colloquial implant.
