    One that i hate is from the high german dialects: servus

    So many wanna be intelectuals always go like this when you say it: “actually did you know this word means slave, because the romans called their slaves with it and in english it means ‘serve us’. So you just called me a slave”

    The word “servus” doesnt come from latin and has been in use before the romans infuenced the south germanic tribes!
