Lol, it's just a little joke based on the fact that Ancient Greek had both formal and informal greetings, and 'sup is our modern equivalent of an informal greeting. It's quite a stretch, I admit.
That's a good read. I would have used my dagger to steal so much holy water. From the videos I watched there was nothing making sure a proper coin was used in the holy water vending machine.
The first known vending machine, created in the 1st century CE by Hero of Alexandria, dispensed holy water. This invention predates the modern concept of vending machines by nearly 2,000 years, making it seem anachronistic in ancient history.[5]
If you steal the holy water and then drink a bunch of it don’t you get Holy powers or something though? Chug the whole thing down then take over the church. Once you have access to all the holy water for free it’s just a matter of time before you become a god yourself.
This feels somewhat related: John, Johann, Ivan, Evan, Ian, Sean, Jean, Juan, João, Giovanni, Yannis, Yahya, Jack, Shane, etc are all based on the Hebrew name Yohanan
Not mine because it's an ethnonym, though I guess it's ancient source is Roman. Also the Roman version is still used as a nickname even though it makes my name longer.
Also surprisingly from ancient Greece:
Tanning salawns
● Anal sex
Wait, that's not surprising
Did you know the Ancient Greeks invented anal sex? It only took 200 years before the Romans decided they should try it with women.
Im not suprised tbh
can you elaborate on "sup"?

Also Tiffany which can be argued to originate from Theophania.
Tiffany is the epitome of this phenomenon, to the point that it's named the Tiffany Problem

Wow, didn't know that. That is interesting

I'm guessing if you accept the water is actually holy, then you'd probably think twice about stealing it

I guess I'm later for breakfast than I thought.

"The sound was always 'John'"
Bortles!!!
as someone not from the US, when I watched the show, I was very confused about that word, until I looked it up
i love how the jaguars being really good for a season perfectly lined up with what was happening in the show at the time
The vast majority of popular names come from ancient characters
Except for the name "Madison", which comes from the 1984 Tom Hanks movie Splash.
Fun fact: CGP Grey only makes videos on topics ending in "on."
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Madison_(name)
Its just a surname used as a first name, one of America's cuter, more demure methods of cultural appropriation.
And also the name "Cameron", which comes from 2012 series Total Drama: Revenge of the Island
Half of them are from the Bibles.
It's crazy to think that if you traveled back in time 2000 years ago you could hang out with guys named John, Luke and Mark.
Those are their translated names.
Mike, Paul, Dave too
Hence the term "Christian name", meaning one's first name.
Good point!

And here I was thinking it was a Fallout reference
Technically a vaultdweller in fallout could be considered a pseudo-ethnicity.
Tiffany I recently found out is old, but Squirrel?? Who's named Squirrel?
Squirrel is.
I think George comes from the Greek word for farmer "Georgos"
Jorge
It was Yah-son, though, not Dgay-son. Probably.
the gay son? Story checks out
