Viraldice: Twitter Is Shook by an Amazing Series of Charts That Show Where Words Originated

artin O'Leary, Twitter user and self-proclaimed science-doer, and maker of Weird Internet Stuff, must have had a few hours to spare this week when he decided to retrace the etymology of the English Language (or at least some of it). Little did he know that his time would prove to be well spent, as his homemade etymology charts are blowing people's minds across the internet. Way to go, Martin, thanks for the weird stuff.

It turns out, people have a thing for etymology.

Martin O’Leary has gotten quite the response since tweeting out his homemade etymology charts, in which he traces back the history of over twenty English words.

 

 

Martin’s original tweet was captioned, “Languages are bananas,” and it turns out, the internet agrees.

 

This guy really speaks for Twitter as a whole when he expresses his interest in Martin O’Leary’s etymology charts. Others claimed to be utterly “SHOOK” by Martin’s charts.
