white dude in this horror movie\u00a0: *translates old arabic text* *somehow it rhymes perfectly in english*\u00a0

Now I really wanna see a horrible faltering translation from one of these movies, like \u201cWhomsoever enters this room, they shall\u2026 well, this word is like\u2026 literally it means \u2018unbecome,\u2019 but it was used as a euphemism for death, pooping, and\u2014wait, when was this carved? \u00a0was it 15th century? Cuz it was a euphemism for sex too in the 15th century. \u00a0This is either a cursed crypt, a bathroom, or a royal bedroom. Who wants to roll the dice?\u201d

“You guys, I\u2019ve gotta be honest, okay? This thing\u2019s written in some kind of\u00a0weird localized dialect, and I\u2019ve only ever studied the standard form of the language. I mean, this part right here\u2026I can\u2019t even tell if it\u2019s some kind of error, or an obscure slang phrase\u2026whatever it is, I have no idea what the fuck it means.\u201d

‘this is written in ancient sumerian. it’s about\u2026 uh\u2026 well that word is\u2026 uh. okay this is either a poem about farming, or straight-up a nasty sex guide. it might be both. i want a shower.’
