Fun fact: folk etymologies are always lies.

I’ve also heard that ‘gringo’ derives from people telling green-clad soldiers to go away (green, go)

I’ve heard that ‘fuck’ is an acronym for ‘fornication under consent of the king’

All nonsense of course.

I’m originally from Sabah in northern Borneo, Malaysia

Hey I’ve been there. Hello.

Certain topics (mostly household things), I’ll think in Irish.

Maybe the real Mandela effect is we were all tricked into thinking there are people out there believing Nelson Mandela died before leading the ANC, being president, winning the Nobel, and ending apartheid.

But then how could he have been released to huge fanfare and shaken up politics?

Do these people believe Narendra Modi died in 2009? It just doesn’t fit major world events.

Some people think more in formal systems, some people think more in lived experience.

Nobody thought Mandela died in prison. He was one of the most high-profile people in the world in the 1990s, constantly in the papers after his release from prison. How could you believe he died in prison?

How else would you say it?

I’ve only heard /niʃ/

Do some people say /nit͡ʃ/ ?
