I spent all day working on my files while at the same time importing my CDs to my laptop and then transfering them to my shiny new Ipod.
Yesterday evening I did the same, only instead of the working, I read NCIS fanfiction and watched the second MacGyver movie.
Clearly I was born to multitask. Oh wait, of course I was, I'm female. Heh.
Anyway, with all the working and uploading and drinking too much coffee, I didn't really have time to took more than a short glance at my flist.
What I learned:
The English word for MOPS is pug.
This may not be groundbreaking news for most of you, but it was to me.
See, the Mops is just that. A Mops. It is the perfect word for it. So perfect that I had never even wondered if other languages maybe had other words for it. Not that I talk about pugs a whole lot, so maybe it just never came up, but today, when I found out that yes, indeed, Mops isn't a universal word, I was actually surprised.
Wow. Not a Mops. A pug.
Pug is fits the Mops as well. Not as good as Mops, but it's okay. Pug is short and puggy, like the dog in question.
Mops is...everything.
Mops expresses that the pug makes weird breathing noises when it walks, that it curls its tongue when it smiles and that its eyes move into different directions when it yawns.
In my first dog book, the description about the Mops said:
The Mops is lucky that its mother is also a Mops, for no other dog could love his looks.
Which is true, because they are incredibly ugly. They might be cute, but they are incredibly ugly. I'm sorry if I offend your pug, but there really is no other word for it.
When you see a pug in the park, you can often see how other dogs top to point and laugh at it.
Poor pug.
