Former international college program guy from wales is back for a second program and is teaching welsh
Jellyfish is pysgod wibbly wobbly
Obviously I was destined to be a welsh speaker
consider: remus growing up only knowing it as the popty ping
just a handful of muggle things he only knows by their welsh names and that's one of them
welsh seems so fun hgjkdfgs
And like it probably would never come up in conversation either
Since none of his friends know a darn thing about muggle stuff
Until like James and lily are married and she says something offhanded about a microwave and he’s like “...................wat”
"you mean the popty ping" "wat??"
Remus sends an owl to his mum that just says “why the hell do the English call popty pings microwaves?”
second line "why the hell did you never tell me they're also called microwaves"
bc ofc james makes fun of him for it
Let’s hope jellyfish never come up in conversation
oh they'd immediately go into "what other things do you only know the welsh for"
then remus gets huffy they're mocking his native tongue (and making fun of him)
(mostly the second thing)
Honestly why is ‘jelly’ any less ridiculous than ‘wibbly wobbly’
pysgod pronounced "pissgod" bc
apparently popty-ping is just slang and the actual word is p close to microwave but now i'm convinced hope only taught him popty-ping specifically to fuck with him
She absolutely would have
Hope Lupin: more mischievous than all of the actual marauders combined
lyall prob also only knows it as the popty ping
Remus finds out and tells his dad it’s called a microwave. Lyall doesn’t believe him.
it's been the popty ping to him for over 20 years!!
It doesn’t wave why would you call it that
Your friends must be having a laugh, Remus.
it's certainly not small enough to be called "micro"
It does, however, both pop and ping.
