      But is it a figurative burying or a meta-literal one? I mean if you really think about things entomologically and we pick apart the Latin root words of “bury” and “dogpile” we might just find that the meaning of lemmy dogpile changes completely depending on context, literally figuratively.

      Language is fucked. We really need telepathically beaming abstract concepts directly into brain matter so I don’t have to crawl through linguist brainrot reply chains.
