I know the post is a joke but it's more like "somebody owns a helicopter rental business and they're bitching about repairs on helicopters they themselves don't pilot so they themselves aren't in danger"

The etymology of helicopter is actually a compound word divided in an unexpected place:

  • "Helico" means rotating or spiral.
  • "Pter" means wing, as in the word "pterodactyl."

So if we're gonna bring that into another compound word, we should probably chop it in the right place: pterlord.

TIL 👍

And one step closer to turdlord.

Aerolord.

I just realized we will probably have aerolords in a couple decades. I should invest in clean air and stockpile it. Maybe it's my chance to be a lord. I'm going to need a compound, barbed wire, and machineguns too. Shit, it's a lot of work being a lord. I think I'll just pay for an air subscription.

Oh, this perspective didn't occur to me, it makes everything so much worse 😅
