Remember Big Chungus? The Bugs Bunny adjacent meme that existed for a hot minute during the early Oligocene? Paleontology Coproliteposting remembers.

Okay, the last one wasn't from Paleontology Coproliteposting, but it's still a dinosaur so I'd argue it counts.

Bonus 70: Speakest Thou Ye Olde English?

Would your eminence care to join me at Ye Olde Tea Shoppe? When we want to evoke a vaguely historical context, people often reach for a pseudo-archaic, Oldey Timey version of English, one that involves thees and thous, fancy titles, and the inevitable Olde Tea Shoppe or Olde Englishe Pub. Oldey Timey English is strictly about vibe -- it's by no means the same as Actual Old English (learning to read Beowulf involves considerable study!). But the ingredients that go into this pseudo-archaic style make it a distinct linguistic genre of its own, one that we pick up informally from a variety of sources.  

In this bonus episode, Gretchen and Lauren get enthusiastic about stylized Oldey Timey English! We talk about contexts in which pseudo-archaic forms get used, from Gretchen's recent experience with names and titles in a 1492 papal election roleplaying game, to how the language handbook of the Society of Creative Anachronism balances modern-day desires for gender-neutral language with creating historic-feeling titles, and a 1949 academic article cataloguing business names in the New York City phonebook that began with "ye". We also talk about how people go about learning to do pseudo-archaism in various languages, including the pronunciation of "ye" and jocular biblicalisms in French. (We wish we knew more examples of stylized pseudo-archaic forms in other languages, but they seem to draw on quite a high level of fluency -- please contribute others you know in the comments!)

Announcements: Thank you so much for helping us celebrate our 6th anniversary!

There's a girl in my ASL class who sits next to me and sometimes she scrolls on Facebook and then shows me a meme I saw five years ago on Tumblr and every time I pretend like I've never seen it before, and giggle along with her and it makes her happy. And it makes me happy too.
