Get Fuzzy by Darby Conley for January 13, 2013

75 different kinds of inactivity. I have so much to learn.

Haha! Get Fuzzy is hilariant!

That’s just sillytaining.

The words bode well for variety in my day that I had overlooked!

(sorry about that . . . I just read the words of an eloquent guinea pig at Alice’s pre-school.)

Man, I know so many people that are bornoying to me, you wouldn’t believe it……And 75 words for wasy to be inactive? Man, I’m still short three….

Aww, the sleeping Bucky :P

Fantabulous strip.

crossover joke synchronicity with Frazz…

It’s awesomenessity

blurbexing!

Wow! Bucky looks like a normal sleeping cat in the first panel!

I researched the Inuit last year and I came to discover why they supposedly have so many words for snow. It’s not because they live in snow or because their language is richer than average. It’s just because Inuktitut is a language that uses compound words. Entire sentences can sometimes be a single word. For example, the phrase “Get well soon” is ‘Naammangniluglutit’. Even pronouns like “you” or “I” don’t get their own separate words when part of a sentence. To say “I”, you would add the suffix -junga or -ujunga at the end of your verb (or noun). Thus, phrases like slushy snow, falling snow, crunchy snow, etc. would all be separate “words” because the word snow is compounded with its adjective or description.

What’s the opposite of “shutinkin”? it’s sleeping with your eyes open – learned to do it in a military academy.

German is also a compound word language. That’s why they have 30 different words for getting killed on the AutoBahn.

Love it so much.

Another great one. Personally, my favorite part is the line in panel 2 about the ketchup bottle.

… and here I thought it was ‘resthinking’ .

Bucky, the Yoda of laziness!

I guess it’s what you’re surrounded by, and what a society finds important. How many words for money are there in English?…cash, change, bills, funds, finances, capital, payola, duckets, mean green, dollars, currency, coin, riches, wealth, profit, remuneration…ooh, I’m getting tired, I need to studylid.

Yeah, try using ‘borenoying’ in your next F2F with your boss, I dare you.
