English is a total mess of a language, very quircky in many ways and constantly tripping over its own rules. It’s so lax and nonsensical that it’s amenable to onboard any word from any language as-is, lets you verb any noun, make up nonce words on a whim and see them go into common usage within weeks if they catch on. That’s what makes it so great, and so hard to master
indeed… when getting up or making any physically strenuous movement i yell out SHAAA BAAATSSS as in the Jewish word Shabbat … but I yell it like I’m yelling SHAZAM! … now the kids are yelling it. Good fun.
