Hey why do you think they call it "grave" danger

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 days ago (1 children)

i know this is a joke, but i find it quite interesting those two words have completely different etymologies.

Grave as in burial site comes from an old proto indo european word for "dig", while grave as in serious comes from french.

til french isn't an Indo European language

Grave in this context just means deep. That's one of the meanings of grave
