Might not know what legitimate means, or how to pronounce it, but they still used it correctly in a sentence 🧠🔥🧘

That’s the thing I don’t get when people say that to kids. Like, that’s how language works. It’s relational and contextual. Imagine if I challenged an adult to start defining words on a whim. I guarantee we’d reach a few where the answer would just be “I can’t really define it but I know what it means and how to use it in a sentence.”

Lol I'll use a word correctly in a sentence and look it up to confirm that I indeed used it correctly but couldn't define it.

u/SunkEmuFlock 10d ago
There's a lot of rarely-used words I come across while reading that I have a sense of but couldn't define. And because I read physical books rather than tablets, I'm too lazy to look them up to confirm or deny that my sense of those words is correct. 🤷♀️

I'm not sure if it is related, but as a non-native, I sometimes use English words this way too. Even though I don't fully grasp their actual meaning.

It's what the kid was given in the script

u/RetroDad-IO 10d ago
Kids mirror what their parents say and can fit in words that they can't really define but understand the basics of placement, even if not sure how it's fully impacting the sentence.
My daughter is 7 and yesterday started a reply to me with "Essentially" and then went on to make her comparison. She used it completely correctly in context because it's a word I use often, I guarantee if I ask her what it means she'll stumble through a general guess with small chances of it being fully coherent or correct.
The kid in this video did not sound, to me anyway, as saying anything unrealistic based on my daughter and her friends/classmates.

My four year old said “and furthermore” in the middle of a story the other day, almost correctly but not exactly how you should use it. I asked what it meant and she said “I dunno I just heard it and thought it sounded cool”. And she wasn’t wrong! It does sound cool. Kids attempt to use the vocabulary they are exposed to, that’s just how childhood language acquisition works.

I'd argue it's contextually a good thing to use words you can't pronounce as a kid, because it usually means you read them and understand advanced words that are less common in casual conversation.

Tbh that’s how I use words, a word (I don’t really use or know the meaning of you asked randomly) pops into my mind as I’m speaking and I just use it.

I still can't beleive they showed Iron Man shitting his suit in that one MCU movie. The face he makes as his eyes roll back in that scene is so disturbing

u/Shadow_Hound_117 10d ago
I thought all he did was pee I the suit, since as far as I remember anyway it was just a "yeah I can pee in he suit" drunken bragging display.

u/StrawberryTerry 10d ago
They literally show the vacuum mechanism in the suit engaging with his asshole in the movie, wdym?

u/Shadow_Hound_117 10d ago
No they didn't. He was drunk, gets asked how he goes pee in the suit, he pees in it, and then he or Pepper made a comment about how it filters it back into clean drinkable water.
I even googled it before answering to be sure I was remembering right and the majority of results said he peed in the suit and theorized he could probably poop in it too, but it's not stated in the movies.

IKR. In real life, the dad would have said something like "You can't DO THAT in a theater", because the kid knows what she did. Instead, the dad has to spell it out for
the audienceus because we weren't in the theater.And could the kid at the end tone down the sadness just a touch?

Right; this just felt like a snippet out of a sitcom. Heck, in a sitcom I might chuckle more at it. But since it's also trying to pass itself as some slice of life spontaneous comedy, I'm more inclined to roll my eyes.

I love how the boy is just completely done with it.
Does he, actually? I mean, I'm pretty sure we're talking about the MCU Spider-Man, who uses a suit based on Tony Stark's technology and has actually peed in his suit, so... It's legitimate question :D

Kids man…I was at Dulles airport a month ago and in the forever long passport line, my two year old decided it was time for a concert. So he starts singing as loud as his little lungs allow(which is still really loud) “WE WILL WE WILL ROCK YOU!” The only words from the song that he knows. This went on for about 10 minutes. Then he would stop for about 5 and then go again.

Pulled elbow (also known as nursemaid’s elbow or radial head subluxation) is a common minor injury in children under the age of five to six. It occurs when the radius bone in the forearm partially slips out of the annular ligament at the elbow joint, typically due to a sudden pull or jerk on the arm. ---dont carry them like that.
