Wtf kind of warehouse is that? My garage is more of a warehouse.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Werewolf is a contraction of the Anglo-Saxon word 'were'--which means man--and wolf; 'werewolf, man wolf.

Source: I watched Prisoner of Azkaban last night.

Warehouse, on the other hand, is literally a “house of wares”.

Is it really a contraction if it's just two words stuck together? Pretty sure a contraction is shortened.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

Those are Snape’s words, not mine. I suppose the proper term is Compound.

I'm surprised it's not LOSS

House moon oh no house garage

[–] TimeNaan 14 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I still don't get it.

[–] rDrDr 30 points 1 year ago (4 children)

It's a full moon. It is now a

....

...

werehouse.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

But that's not a warehouse, that's a garage

[–] jedi_hamster 1 points 1 year ago

Same thought

[–] moistclump 5 points 1 year ago

I’m embarrassed to say that I thought this was Loss.

[–] Macaroni_ninja 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It really needs a Dr Dr to solve this mystery. Thanks!

[–] rDrDr 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'm a reader doctor.

[–] Macaroni_ninja 2 points 1 year ago

My apologies

House, moon, house, garage?

[–] [email protected] 18 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Warehouse apparently.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 children)

Weregarage or Wergarage.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

The apparent scale is terrible because of the boxes and roll up door, but there is a human sized door and stairwell on the right for a warehouse that would make it far larger than the house.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

A "werage", if you will. 🧐

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Yes! :-D

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

That's funny shit

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (3 children)

I don’t get it

[–] [email protected] 18 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Werewolves turns from human to werewolf when there's a full moon.

The house turned into a warehouse.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 year ago

That makes more sense than: House, moon, oh no house, garage.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Oh.. I thought it was about mooning

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Think of a warewolf...

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Fido has warez if you have treat?

Can you do 56K?

: "Where house"

[–] unskilledlabor 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Is this loss?

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

Apparently the house turns to a warehouse in a full moon. Took me forever to figure out because I kept trying to figure out how it relates to Loss.

[–] PolydoreSmith 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

There, house. There, castle.

[–] Malfeasant 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Why are you talking like that?

[–] PolydoreSmith 2 points 1 year ago

I don’t know, I thought you wanted to.

[–] Ggfunk 5 points 1 year ago

Boys becoming men. Men becoming wolves.

Well my house is an Animahouse and can do that whenever it wants.
