Okay I actually laughed at this comic, as I may have in days of yore!
ReplyDeleteDearest El Barbudo,
DeleteIf only you had not 'given' your typical 'loose, human, understanding', to the meaning of the word 'demonym', you would have realized the author of the comic has used the word incorrectly. Demonyms are words that refer to the indigenous 'tribe' of a particular place - based on the name of that place - not to the place itself.
Personally, I prefer 'Daemonyms'.
Wait, Cacodaemonyms are even better!
Well fuck me from behind with the conjoined phalli of Beelzebub and Mephistopheles, but I think I done celated another neologism!
Maybe they are standing atop one of these?
ReplyDeleteMaybe. If the drawing was better we might know for sure.
DeleteMaybe. Even if this drawing art perfectly imitated life - mimesis - could its true physical representation be known for sure? Can anything be truly 'known' for sure?
DeleteThe famous anti-mimesis philosopher, Donald Rumsfeld states:
"There are known knowns; there are things we know we know. We also know there are known unknowns; that is to say we know there are some things we do not know. But there are also unknown unknowns — the ones we don't know we don't know."
I think it best we never know some things for sure.
Innit?
