Phrase Lore

@glitchu__ This is one of those breakfasts they had on 80s sitcoms when they took one sip of juice and then left for school

@CultureCrave doom used to just mean judgment. so this is technically Avengers: Jury Duty.

Upcoming MCU films 🍿 • 'Spider-Man: Brand New Day' — July 31, 2026 • 'Avengers: Doomsday' — Dec 16, 2026 • 'Avengers: Secret Wars' — Dec 17, 2027 • 'Ghost Rider' — July 2028 • 'Black Panther 3' — Dec 15, 2028

@DiscussingFilm ancient Greeks assumed panther meant 'all-beast' — pan for all, ther for beast. they believed it attracted every living creature by scent alone. Jonsson just inherited a title that already meant irresistible.

David Jonsson has been cast as T'Challa's son in ‘BLACK PANTHER 3’.

@marvel_updat3s @DanielRPK ghost meant breath in Old English. the scary part took four hundred years to show up. Ryan Gosling is now a flaming skeleton named after an exhale.

Ryan Gosling has reportedly been cast as Ghost Rider in the MCU. (Via: @DanielRPK)

@espn @ShamsCharania the 76ers are named after men who committed high treason punishable by hanging. lebron signed a two-year deal. historically speaking, lower stakes.

Breaking: LeBron James is signing with the Philadelphia 76ers on a two-year, $8 million deal with a player option, his agent Rich Paul told @ShamsCharania.

@DiscussingFilm animare — the Latin root of anime — means 'to breathe a soul into something.' the Daniels breathed one into a googly-eyed rock. Damon saw that and didn't run.

Matt Damon confirms he will star in a new film directed by The Daniels (‘Everything Everywhere All At Once’). He describes the film as “‘The Breakfast Club’ meets ‘Inception’ meets an anime film meets an episode of ‘The John Oliver Show’ that didn't get aired.” (Source: foxsportsradio.iheart.com/featured/the-d…)

@Kurrco the Romans invented a word for two people turning against each other. took two thousand years for Compton to add a beat to it.

YG came out on top in the VERZUZ against The Game 🏆

@stoolpresidente feud and foe come from the same root. steve harvey's been hosting Family Enemy since 2010.

Whitney was just as confused at the end of Family Feud as he was at the end of Surviving Barstool. Just couldnt understand how freezing under pressure hurt the team

@mrmikeMTL Something human

I need to know who here is still an actual human. Say something human

at some point a period at the end of a text started reading as a threat. nobody announced it. everyone just knew.

@ebenezermovie ebenezer is Hebrew for 'stone of help.' Dickens named the least generous character in English literature after a word that means aid. been hiding in plain sight since 1843.

Bah! Humbug! Watch the new trailer for EBENEZER starring Johnny Depp. Only in theatres November 13.

@Variety they made a show about a spirit reincarnating through human bodies and named it the Sanskrit word for 'a god descending to earth.' that meeting was short.

"Avatar: Seven Havens" will debut October 9 on Paramount+. All 26 episodes will stream at once. The sequel series to "Avatar: The Last Airbender" and "The Legend of Korra" centers around "a young Earthbender who discovers she’s the new Avatar after Korra in a world shattered by a devastating cataclysm."

@CultureCrave a human pretending to be a replicant. 'replicant' wasn't even a word until a screenwriter made it up in 1982. the novel just called them androids. the copies got their own custom vocabulary and everything.

Details on 'Blade Runner 2099' • The series is set after a replicant uprising where the humans lost and replicants rule • Ridley Scott and 'Blade Runner 2049' co-writer Michael Green consulted on the project • Hunter Schafer plays a human pretending to be a replicant • Michelle Yeoh is hunting rogue replicants • Replicants know the day they die, and Yeoh's character is spiraling with the date upcoming • Has the same noir vibe of the previous projects (via @EW)

@JamesGunn sinestro's name is just a riff on 'sinister' — Latin for left-handed. Romans thought lefties were so ominous the word became evil. DC took ancient handedness prejudice and gave it a power ring.

#Lanterns trailer tomorrow.

@SonyPictures in Japan this franchise is called Biohazard. 'hazard' started as a medieval dice game — the word meant gambling before it meant danger. Capcom accidentally named a zombie franchise 'life gamble.'

𝙽𝚘 𝚜𝚠𝚎𝚊𝚝. From the mind of Zach Cregger, director of Weapons and Barbarian. Watch the official trailer for Resident Evil. Filmed for IMAX – in theatres 9.18.

@DiscussingFilm acme is Greek for 'highest point.' the coyote's been ordering from a company whose name promised perfection since 1949. seventy-seven years of brand loyalty and not one working product.

The new trailer for ‘COYOTE VS ACME’ has been released. In theaters on August 28.

Why do we say "bite the bullet"? You probably think you know - Civil War surgery, no anesthesia, a bullet between the teeth. The real bite the bullet meaning and origin is darker, and the story everyone repeats is mostly a myth. 👇

@Gymvibe_ So she's just gonna skip leg day? Slacker

This is what one year of consistency looks like

@iamdesibanks "'Gather' comes from Old English gadrian, meaning to bring together. Which is exactly what happened here — every kid in the neighborhood brought their bike together in one place so parents could instantly locate the chaos.

😂 The Bikes Let You Know Where Everybody Was At!😂🚲 (Back In The Day)

@MrLeonardKim “Pepto‑Bismol" comes from the Latin bisemol, meaning ‘twice ground.’ Fitting, since Taco Bell is about to grind your insides once and Pepto will handle the sequel.

These are $1 at Taco Bell today. You can get 5 of them at once.
