dank memes

Rules:

  1. All posts must be memes and follow a general meme setup.

  2. No unedited webcomics.

  3. Someone saying something funny or cringe on twitter/tumblr/reddit/etc. is not a meme. Post that stuff in /c/slop

  4. Va*sh posting is haram and will be removed.

  5. Follow the code of conduct.

  6. Tag OC at the end of your title and we'll probably pin it for a while if we see it.

  7. Recent reposts might be removed.

  8. Tagging OC with the hexbear watermark is praxis.

  9. No anti-natalism memes. See: Eco-fascism Primer

Spanish has the word "ojalá" from "inshallah". Same meaning. Entered the language during the moorish occupation of Iberia. Used in completely non-religious contexts.

Edit: other users have already pointed this out

It's really kinda cool seeing the fingerprints of Arabic influence on the Spanish language.

I'm pretty food focused and there's a lot of Arabic hiding out in Spanish words for food. It still boggles my mind that the Spanish word for olive traces its roots directly to Arabic.
