You ever have a thought that’s interesting but so archaic you wanna make fun of yourself for expressing it? For instance, the sort of ironic “whomst” thing actually has strong linguistic roots. Romans would elide words like “dum est” to “dumst” because they too liked the sound. — PolitiTweet.org

@recordedvoice I’m not saying it’s a derivative of Latin (at least not directly). I’m saying we independently — with thousands of years between us — arrived at the same lyrical quirk as the Romans, not because it makes sense, but because the ‘umst’ sound is pleasing to humans. — PolitiTweet.org
