  • I didn’t know the word cryptid and looked to the root word “crypt”, then at the picture of Trump for context clues. I deduced it must mean something like someone half-dead, foot-in-the grave, etc.

    But I mused that the root could be cryptic, too 🤔

    So I looked it up:

    Any creature that may or may not exist. Sightings of various cryptids have been reported, but their reality has not been proved.

    Thanks for a new word! Also, Sasquatch exists!!



  • I also wasn’t appreciating the word choice, but it makes more sense when pictures are included.

    Alongside the images, it becames clear that they are calling out the hairs-are-standing-up, bad-gut-feeling, skin-crawling creeper kind of weird. And I think it’s useful to point out this ick.

    (Also, I’d wager you’re the eccentric or endearing kind of weird <3)
