The Bengali word for multiplication is গুন, which is pronounced like goon. As the uncle with a math degree, I’m sometimes asked to help my nephews with their math homework. They’re in high school. They can’t stop grinning when we talk about multiplication. Brainrot is truly cross-cultural, I guess.

This happens to me pretty regularly while watching YouTube. I forget that I shouldn’t be able to hear a siren that loudly over noice cancellation even if it was right outside my door.
