Transcript:
Satchel: Bucky, do... Oh! Sorry. You're sleeping. Bucky: No, I'm not. Satchel: You're wheezing like an empty ketchup bottle! Bucky: I'm just shutinking. Satchel: Shutinking? Bucky: Thinking with my eyes shut. Cats have over 75 words for different kinds of inactivity. Satchel: Wow. Cats are like the eskimos of laziness! Bucky: Eskimos aren't lazy. Satchel: No, I mean they have lots of words for snow. Bucky: I see. We both eat fish, too. Satchel: Yeah! Bucky: And we both hate seals. Satchel: Gimme some more lazy words! Bucky: No. Now go away. You're borenoying me. Satchel: Ha ha! Yeah!

I researched the Inuit last year and I came to discover why they supposedly have so many words for snow. It’s not because they live in snow or because their language is richer than average. It’s just because Inuktitut is a language that uses compound words. Entire sentences can sometimes be a single word. For example, the phrase “Get well soon” is ‘Naammangniluglutit’. Even pronouns like “you” or “I” don’t get their own separate words when part of a sentence. To say “I”, you would add the suffix -junga or -ujunga at the end of your verb (or noun). Thus, phrases like slushy snow, falling snow, crunchy snow, etc. would all be separate “words” because the word snow is compounded with its adjective or description.

What’s the opposite of “shutinkin”? it’s sleeping with your eyes open – learned to do it in a military academy.

German is also a compound word language. That’s why they have 30 different words for getting killed on the AutoBahn.

I guess it’s what you’re surrounded by, and what a society finds important. How many words for money are there in English?…cash, change, bills, funds, finances, capital, payola, duckets, mean green, dollars, currency, coin, riches, wealth, profit, remuneration…ooh, I’m getting tired, I need to studylid.

Yeah, try using ‘borenoying’ in your next F2F with your boss, I dare you.
