What the heck is with the “-er” suffix?
“I’m a witcher.”
“What does a witcher do?”
“I create watch catch breed f*** hunt witches.”
“I’m a birder.”
“What does a birder do?”
“I create catch hunt breed f*** watch birds.”
“Actually I think several of those could apply…”
I think the confusing-ass formula is this:
A [word1]er is a [word2]er of [word1]s.
Geralt of rivia is a witcher who fucks witches
I think create and breed are the only ones that don’t apply there.
Isn’t witcher just a word that was made up for (the English translation of) the Witcher series?
yes, the word wiedźmin was also made up so why not
So a mother is someone who watches moths?
They create moths
Witcher is a silly thing to use as your first example, it’s a made up word for a translated book. I can’t think of another word that behaves like that. Making a mountain of a made up molehill. A Molehiller, I would call you.
So what’s a “fucker”?
A fucker of fucks, clearly.
A giver of fucks
A fuck hunter
One who fucks.
A badger verifies badge legitimacy.
Or maybe he gives badges. Time to go find one O:
A bouncer is a bouncer of bounce?
A bouncer is a creator of bounce
Well, [word2] is probably not the same as [word1].
As an aside, the wonderful thing about Tiggers, is that Tiggers are tiggers of tiggs!
I’m a lemmer.
I was under the impression that Witcher is to be interpreted as the male form of Witch - a Witchman, basically. I think they even call Geralt a Witchman a few times in the games, come to think of it.
What’s the feminine form? Witchess?
Nope because females are not allowed!
