When people get a little too gung-ho about-

wait. cancel post. gung-ho cannot be English. where did that phrase come from? China?

ok, yes. gōnghé, which is…an abbreviation for “industrial cooperative”? Like it was just a term for a worker-run organization? A specific U.S. marine stationed in China interpreted it as a motivational slogan about teamwork, and as a commander he got his whole battalion using it, and other U.S. marines found those guys so exhausting that it migrated into English slang with the meaning “overly enthusiastic”.

That’s…wild. What was I talking about?

“Run into a cave and break your ankle so that people have to come find you and they see you lying at the bottom of this beautiful cave and maybe there’s a waterfall and the light from the crystals makes you look really beautiful and they say “Are you okay?” and you say “I think so” and they say “oh my God have you been here alone this whole time with a broken ankle” and you say “it’s okay” and they say “you’re so brave” and you are brave and you look so beautiful surrounded by cave crystals and everyone stands over you and says “oh wow” and “you poor beautiful thing” and “I’m so sorry we let you run into the cave but I’m so glad we found you” and let them carry you home and promise to be your best friends forever and that everything’s their fault and also they named the cave after you and you’re prettier than all of your enemies and your enemies all died of jealousy while you were in the cave.”

The Appointment in Samarra, as told by W Somerset Maugham, Enjoy Your Symptom!, by Slavoj Žižek, The Terror, episodes 1, 7, and 8

I am so fascinated by this dead ghost walking bc arguably every character in this is a dead ghost walking but for Fitzjames, his oft-told war story is his death as much as the expedition is. So his is not only ‘fate catching up with you,’ here in a particularly horrifying and unexpected way’ but it’s also ‘the things that you did because you were desperate to be accepted by something that wouldn’t want you if it knew who you were will wound you permanently, and those wounds will be bleeding in some way until you die, no matter how healed you think you are, and you will deserve it, and the thing you are now dying for still wouldn’t want you if it knew who you were.’
