A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics
    1. NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
    2. Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
    3. Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct-----

Wait til you hear what Arnold Schwarzenegger's last name means

[–] fubo 26 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

It's Schwarzen/egg/er, not Schwarze/negger.

A Schwarzenegger is someone from Schwarzenegg, which is a village name.

The egg root means "ridge" in old German, and is cognate to modern German Ecke meaning "corner" and to English "edge". It's not directly related to the English word "egg", which is Ei in German. And it certainly has nothing to do with the Latin word meaning "black" (matching Schwarze, which means "black" and relates to English "swarthy").

Schwarzenegg is the village named for a black ridge, or black edge.

I seem to remember an interview that he did years ago (on the old Arsenio Hall Show), where Arnold stated his last name meant "Black Farmer". If I can find a clip, I'll come back and edit this comment with it.

Also black black?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

Oh...yeah. haha. That's so weird I never made that connection even though I know the word noir translates to black.

Schwarzenegger is basically two words for black fused together.
