Happiness was never important.

In today's linguistics class we talked about metaphors, and we really want two of the ones we talked about to become conventionalised.

So first of all this one girl told us about a newer metaphor in Russian, "I have paws", which is something you say when you don't really want to do something, so you say you're incapable of doing it since you have paws instead of hands. Like, "hey, finish that report" "aw but I have paws :(" and I think that's adorable. It's like "I'm just a girl" but for animals.

We also had the task to invent a novel metaphor and have the others guess what it means, and the teacher really liked my "she's such a capybara" = "everyone loves her". Capybara energy is like golden retriever energy except you're chill about it. You're just vibing and everyone digs that.

Anyway I think these deserve to become more common in English

Okay, this is not exactly right, "how mighty your big paws are" came from this meme

Which roughly translates to: "who's going first? Couldn't he make a beeline or something?" "idk maybe he's bow-legged or cockeyed lol" "I'm really fucking tired of stomping around this fucking ditch" "ugh who cares? be grateful we're moving at all" and finally the head wolf going "I'm a big bad woolly wolf, I'm so fucking great, my paws are mighty strong!!!" and it's genuinely one of my fave things to say, cheers me up every time!

in 2014 my friends and i went on omegle with the search term "furry" and people would ask "a/s/f/o" which is Age, Sex, Fursona (Species), Orientation and every single time we would respond with "I am Job the turtle. I am slow but I will rock you" and every single time they would immediately disconnect
