It's meta. Warehouses tends to have some loss.
Is it that a house turned into a βwerehouseβ (like werewolf instead of warehouse)?
My dumbass thinking weregarage for like 30 seconds
I was stuck on moon and move being similar words
Whatβs sad is the first thing I looked for was βlossβ
Me T oo
Wasn't There. S ad
Bitch me too
Not sad, savvy.
traumatized
Are those fucking primarchs?
This doesn't make sense, they're called werewolves, not werehumans. It should be something other than a house at the beginning.
The reason for the disconnect is that "wer" is an Old English term for "man" which has pretty much only survived with "werewolf," so we now associate the "were" part with transforming into something.
Fun fact: "wer" evolved into "vyras" and is still used in Lithuanian language, but Lithuanian word for werewolf is "vilkolakis" and does not include the word.
One origin of werewolves also comes from Baltic shamanic practices of communicating with wolves and sometimes "turning" into them.
Meme still doesn't make sense
It does as a pun.
Warehouse/werehouse "works" as a pun out of context, sure. In context though, it's supposed to be the punchline for this joke, but it isn't.
pretty much only survived with "werewolf,"
There's no other English word in the whole world that comes from wer? π
I said "pretty much" because I assumed it was in there somewhere else. I never knew "world" had roots with it!
Can someone who isnβt a moron like me explain this to me?
Tap for spoiler
Were-house/warehouse
Ah thank you.

That was what I thought immediately and I was like βwhat is the connection? Is this a meme im too old to understand?β Turns out Iβm just stupid.
