@calliewinterfire: looney tunes did change the world - thanks for teaching me this @Raul

Vossek :

bro I ALWAYS mix up Etymology and entomology and I spend longer than I should have trying to figure out what this video had to do with bugs 🤦

Mentalism423 :

Looney Tunes is also the reason people associate rabbits and carrots. they were making a reference to a person, not the animals. carrots don't actually have a lot of nutritional value to rabbits, but the association stuck

Lucas Padgett :

I grew up going to Sunday school and did not learn that Nimrod meant Hunter from the Bible but from the X-Men villain

Bolters&Beamsabers :

I’m sorry…what?!? I’ve used Nimrod wrong since I was a kid?!?

Kinsey :

Did I confuse etymology with the study of bugs and wonder how this was gonna circle to insects? Maybe

Rrok Anrolle :

The number of people in this comments section confusing entomology and etymology bugs me in a way I can't put into words.

Cocorocoko :

Looney tunes decimated the original meaning of Nimrod. That’s not just cool to think about, it’s fantastic.

Asincrazy :

X-Men's Nimrod had me look up the meaning of the word Nimrod because I seriously thought it meant idiot/doofus and was puzzled why the top of the line sentinel was called an idiot.

_sleepywild :

To this day I enjoy that we say “what’s up?” or “sup?” because Bugs Bunny said “what’s up, doc?”

King_kellendros :

X-Men had a villain named Nimrod that hunted mutants.

vogonjeltz9722 :

I knew that this was going to be about "nimrod" the moment I saw Looney tunes and etymology.

Vegetable Gremlin :

The moment i saw looney tunes and etymology i knew what this would be about

JoeV :

the looney tunes writers were way smarter than they get credit for

Paul Suedekum :

I'm confused, you say daffy called Elmer a nimrod, but you say nimrod loosely translates to hunter. The only wrong thing here is that people were using it the wrong way.

TxGingersnaps :

My husband is from a little town in Texas called Nimrod. He would get very defensive about it. 😂😂😂

Foofy Winters :

this would be something raul would randomly know lol

sydders05 :

there's a town in MN that incorporated in 1946...Nimrod, after the biblical hunter. then looney tunes happened 2 years later 🤣

MelanKaliHollie :

krys :

Bougie doesn’t mean fancy.

Reapersquirrel :

That makes Nimrod from Marvel make more sense because he is a hunter

garyluther422 :

I thought Gilgamesh and Nimrod were the same Mesopotamian king

OG-GEN❌️ :

Nimrod tried to build the tower of Babble, caused everyone to begin speaking different languages so no one could understand anyone else. Nimrod may have been a "hunter" but his ego led him to do very stupid things. Therefore, to this day, even in loony toons cartoons and beyond, being called a Nimrod is 100% an insult. pls learn to research

PuggoDoggo :

Anyone else think of this first?

Lo :

Someone tag Greenday

thesteeze23 :

Wait til you hear about “bucket lists” and when that came about.
