Spent the last 20 minutes reading documentation and googling to figure out what an "emojo" is, and it just occurred to me that I may have been bamboozled

@jordyd am I being lied to? Is this a double-bamboozling?

@kimdanes
real answer: the word is "emoji" and it's from Japanese iirc. "emojo" is a joke

@jordyd is it? or is emojort the real joke?

@kimdanes oh and regarding "spaghetto", that is technically the correct singular form in Italian. We don't say that in English because we borrowed the Italian plural as a mass noun

@jordyd I am so enlightened right now it's unbelievable

@kimdanes Also "sphagetto" is the diminutive form of "spago", so a direct translation would be "little string"

@kimdanes always be suspicious of double pink kittens
