You know, you really do learn something new every day.
Today, we learned the roots of the word “Philosophy.”
Philosophy breaks down into:
“Philia” which means love, and—
“Soph” which means wisdom.
That’s all fine and good, but can anyone define wisdom?
It’s tricky. But here, today, I will break it down for you a bit further.
Are you ready?
Wisdom actually breaks down into two words rooted in modern english:
"Wizz," which is a verb meaning "to urinate on," and—
"Dome," a colloquial term for one's head.
Ergo, Philosophy is the “love of wisdom,” or “the love of urinating on one’s head.”
Hey, it explains all of the pretentiousness.
