Things relating to Etymology you got wrong as a kid.

[Anonymous No.22075302]

When I was a kid I thought the English word "Job" was derived from da Hebrew name "Job" from the book of Job, and my reasoning behind this was coz I thought Job was a lazy person who didn't do his JOB when he was asked.

Then I actually read the book and found I was waaay off. Also"Job" (the name) isn't even pronounced jawb, it's pronounced jobe

Used to take the phrase “affirmative action” literally. Though it was a motivational program for lazy people. Kind of related to the OP.

According to folk etymology, job and Job are related, on account of the suffering inherent in both. This is not far-fetched at all. Several languages make the connection already.

>labor, from latin "laborare", means "to suffer, to be in distress".
>german "Arbeit" and nordic cognates is derived from proto-germanic arbaidizwhich also means suffering, or alternatively, slave
>spanish "trabajo" is derived from the torture instrument "tripalium" - same story for french "travail".
>hindi word for job "kaam"/काम literally derives from karma/comeuppance, just means punishment
>Romanian and Hungarian word for work, munca/munka, comes from proto-Slavic "muka", which means torture.
It was the german philosoper Gadamer that famously stated that our languages hold greater wisdom than we perceive. This is one such instance.

Rough estimate, the "success" of 98% of jobs is just achieving status as number 1 cuck.
