And I've instinctively started saying 'jokes' in place of 'cool,' unless I'm making a Doctor Who joke. Because I can't really say "I wear bowties now. Bowties are jokes." It just doesn't feel right.
Well there isn't actually a proper pronunciation because there's no mandated dictionary. I believe it's ackio because that's the movie pronunciation and she was a consultant on the film.
You know, we recognize some of John and Hank's greatest accomplishments - like puppy-sized elephants, "in your pants," tiny chickens, DFTBA, songs about sub-atomic particles, and the happy dance - but I think the single most important thing I've ever seen them teach is that Nerdfighters can stand up to Decepticons and giant squids of anger without fear, and PWN them with class and intelligence. Now THAT decreases world-suck.
Do you think that Almond Butter Face could be a thing in the event that you are allergic to peanut butter and covering your face in the latter could lead to anaphylaxis?
@chaosbringer82 No, it isn't. The first time I read a book in which the phrase was used, they were mocking an object, so i thought they meant he literally urinated on it.
I'm sure someone has already explained this but piss taking isn't the same as pissing, it's basically just making fun of someone (taking the piss). If you think about it too much British slang really doesn't make much sense anyway, this is coming from a Brit :).
I love your happy dance. The only happy dance better, I believe, would be Snoopy's. I'm sorry but Dancing Cartoon Dogs > Green haired nerds. :P Still DFTBA = Win.
piss taker in england = joker. taking the piss= having a laugh, we have strange slang/ language here... but then again, if not for us then would you (america) be as you are now? anyway, NERDFIGHTERS
I have friends who take Latin and they say the proper pronunciation if you went along with Latin is Akkio, but everyone can pronounce it their own way.
Actually, John, 'Accio' would be said with the hard 'c' sound if we were going by the Latin pronunciations, as they had no soft 'c' sound in the Latin language (at least that's what my Latin teacher said...). I've heard both, but I pronounce it with the hard 'c'.
Soo io don't get why poeple are hating on the awesome that is the vlogbrother serusilsy if you don't like there vidoes diont watch them. Choose not to be awesome and amazing have fun being .....you
Yes! I have found the source of so jokes! I stopped looking a while ago but I have now found it without intention! Also I love that there is an embroidered pillow with a trombone on it!
Well actually the spells in Harry potter are Latin words and in Latin all c's are pronounced like a K so sorry John but you are wrong about how to pronounce accio
I have realized that Harry Potter is probably more real to way more people than whoever wrote that comment. I've fallen in love with that argument. I know a lot more about Harry Potter than I do about anonymous trolls.....
I'm fairly certain that "pisstaker" is referring to "taking the piss out of" something. Which is just British slang for making fun of something or kidding.
I spent I don't actually know how long, going through all the comments for July 18th to find Hank's youube alias and when I found it and clicked on it, it brought me back to the main page :S aw man!
This is a little bit late, but I personally say Ah-kee-oh because I am a Latin nerd and that is the classical pronunciation of the 4th conjugation verb accio, accire ("I summon" or "to summon"), but the Ecclesiastical pronunciation AX-ee-oh is just as correct. No one really knows the correct pronunciation of Latin because the Romans are all DEAD. And didn't have tape recorders.
At the end, his head looks like a salad :D
And I've instinctively started saying 'jokes' in place of 'cool,' unless I'm making a Doctor Who joke. Because I can't really say "I wear bowties now. Bowties are jokes." It just doesn't feel right.
