Wtf kind of warehouse is that? My garage is more of a warehouse.

[–] jasondj@ttrpg.network 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Werewolf is a contraction of the Anglo-Saxon word 'were'--which means man--and wolf; 'werewolf, man wolf.

Source: I watched Prisoner of Azkaban last night.

Warehouse, on the other hand, is literally a “house of wares”.

Is it really a contraction if it's just two words stuck together? Pretty sure a contraction is shortened.

[–] jasondj@ttrpg.network 7 points 1 year ago

Those are Snape’s words, not mine. I suppose the proper term is Compound.

I'm surprised it's not LOSS

[–] TheChefSLC@lemmy.sdf.org 25 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I don’t get it

Werewolves turns from human to werewolf when there's a full moon.

The house turned into a warehouse.

[–] Jay@sh.itjust.works 19 points 1 year ago

That makes more sense than: House, moon, oh no house, garage.

[–] phrasing5421@kbin.social 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Oh.. I thought it was about mooning

[–] AnarchoYeasty@beehaw.org 4 points 1 year ago

I was sitting here trying to decipher how this was loss.

[–] TheChefSLC@lemmy.sdf.org 15 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Think of a warewolf...

: "Where house"

[–] jarfil@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

Was-a-house... 🙃

[–] Jimbo@yiffit.net 17 points 1 year ago (1 children)

House, moon, house, garage?

[–] snooggums@kbin.social 21 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Warehouse apparently.

[–] ForestOrca@kbin.social 7 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 children)

Weregarage or Wergarage.

[–] snooggums@kbin.social 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

The apparent scale is terrible because of the boxes and roll up door, but there is a human sized door and stairwell on the right for a warehouse that would make it far larger than the house.

[–] sbv@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

A "werage", if you will. 🧐

[–] ForestOrca@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

Yes! :-D

[–] dylanTheDeveloper@lemmy.world 12 points 1 year ago

House moon oh no house garage

[–] TimeNaan@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I still don't get it.

werehouse.

[–] Jimbo@yiffit.net 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

But that's not a warehouse, that's a garage

[–] jedi_hamster@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Same thought

[–] moistclump@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

I’m embarrassed to say that I thought this was Loss.

[–] Macaroni_ninja@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It really needs a Dr Dr to solve this mystery. Thanks!

[–] rDrDr@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'm a reader doctor.

[–] Macaroni_ninja@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

My apologies

[–] unskilledlabor@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Is this loss?

[–] DJKJuicy@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Well my house is an Animahouse and can do that whenever it wants.

[–] hydrospanner@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Animahouse

Donald Sutherland's finest work.

[–] Arghblarg@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

This would've been an amazing Warehouse13 episode (anyone remember that show?)

[–] Starb3an@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 year ago

I love that show!

[–] Ggfunk@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Boys becoming men. Men becoming wolves.

[–] PolydoreSmith@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

There, house. There, castle.

[–] Malfeasant@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Why are you talking like that?

[–] PolydoreSmith@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

I don’t know, I thought you wanted to.
