I just found out I’ve been confidently and secretly incorrect for decades. I always assumed it was “wheel barrel” and everyone was misspelling it because they were guessing based on everyone else’s poor enunciation.
I just checked and wheelbarrow is correct. Barrow is derived from old English, and might not actually be etymologically related to barrels at all. Not that I could find anyway.
What a life. What a strange old world.
Shhh, no one tell him about boroughs and burros.
Did someone mention boritoughs?
I see what you did there burrito vs boritough… It took me a minute, but I see it…
I promise I wasn’t aiming for highbrow, I’m just a confusing dude
That’s me every day. Although I keep forgetting where i was digging and start again with the wheelbarrow now in the way.
Same but I only had a stone pickaxe.
