Apparently this reminder is needed.

It is a meme.

two are proper nouns, so dont count. three mean 'to close something' (more or less). one is an animal.

i see really only two homonyms in total.

English sucks ass and it's all the fault of people who pronounce the word "avove" with two distinct vowel sounds like weirdos.

(Jk jk I don't mean it please don't hurt me wedge/schwa distinguishers.)

Avove? How are you supposed to pronounce it?

I don't get the first row, somebody feel like helping me out? Lol

A Navy Seal, an oil seal for a machine, and someone applying wood sealant.

Ohhh they're all seal ok, I thought the top row was something else, the brush threw me off, I thought the center one was some sort of "brush" for something mechanical, like how you have a "brush" for motors and then some military unit nicknamed brushes lol

Both the first and second row are the same. Seal.

What kind of "tHaNk yOu fOr yOuR sErViCe"-brain nonsense made you think anything but a sliver of people would look at "man with gun" and think Seal?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Context clues? Every other image is of a seal.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

For real. I'm Canadian. I had no idea that dude was a seal either by looking at the meme for the first time. I do, however, possess half a brain cell.

Pretty sure seals were named after seals.

Oh, it ain't easy, but it sure is fun :)

If you'd like to have your mind blown by something you haven't ever thought that hard about before in your life, sit down and try to come up with a list for all the definitions and use contexts for the word "set."

English is not hard. Nobody uses seal but me.
