minus-squarecannedtuna@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·10 days agoSo, once upon a time you could have driven around with Rhythm Nation blaring from a car with a decent sound system and reeked havoc?
minus-squareboatswain@infosec.publinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·10 days agoJust FYI something “reeks” if it smells bad; “wreak” is pretty much only used with “havoc” and means to cause (generally harm). English is weird.
minus-squareMouselemming@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·10 days agoAlso “wreak vengeance,” Again to cause (harm, generally in a violent and uncontrolled manner). From a different root than wreck, which I found odd.
minus-squarecannedtuna@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·10 days agoThanks, I kept looking at thinking it didn’t look right and even initially changed it to “reak”, but saw that wasn’t a proper spelling. Can’t say it’s a word I’ve written out before.
minus-squareSatansMaggotyCumFart@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·10 days agoYes really stinky havoc.
