Do you find something wiseable about the name

Imma upvote you for the quote, but YSK it’s “risible” which is an additional layer of humour if you’re familiar with Latin (which was what the Romans spoke), because “risible” is an archaic English word from around the 1600s meaning “to provoke laughter”, which is itself based on the Latin word “ris”, which means “laugh”. “Ridere” means “to laugh” and “ridiculus” means “laughable”.
Haha latin nerd. Thanks though.
Why does ‘getting a rise out of sb’ mean to make them angry then?I don’t think that comes from Latin, it probably refers to a fish rising to take bait on the water.
He has a wife you know…

Any nerds with a tendency to lore/info dump have any reason why the scientific name of roach is Long Dick Johnson? Was those old scientists trolling us or?
It’s because the scientist who named it had a fucking long dick. Thus the name.
Sounds logical, after all you need BDE to name a cockroachlongpennis.

Somehow it looks veiny, black and kinda nsfw…
Funny name aside, this is literally one of the reasons, why I (and most people on the NW part of South America) am freaking traumatized by cockroaches. Having a single one of this fly at your face as soon as you turn on the lights of a dark (and maybe even moist) room, will give you a heart attack
When I moved to Florida (I do not recommend), the locals called the bigger ones “palmetto bugs.” No dude, that’s a big-ass roach. A cute name does not change that fact.
Grew up with that shit. Can confirm, giant roach. Can confirm, do not recommend.
I once woke up to find a cockroach had nestled itself in my armpit during the night.
