Poll: Does Corkus Look Like Italy?

Ameritaly?

 

Moin isn't short for anything

 

Settlers from a empire came to America where industrial process made them a powerful country, while they forced the natives to move. Sound familiar?

 

Oh

 

I have a good argument that it doesn't look like Italian.
It doesn't look like a shoe.

 

Where does USSR come in mate?

Fixed it for ya

 

kek

 

it honestly just looks like someone half-assed and placed a bunch of blocks there

 

Yes it is. See my post on the previous page. I am absolutely certain of where it comes from, and who says it, a lot.

 

Many people[who?] think that moin derives from various regional pronunciations of (Guten) Morgen ("good morning"), which tend to alter, vocalise, or skip rg. However, the word may actually also derive from the Dutch, Frisian, and Low German word mo(o)i, meaning "beautiful" or "good".[1][3] Similar forms in Low Saxon are mooien Dag, mooien Abend, mooien Mor(g)en. Possibly, as is common in etymology, one origin is correct (either from Morgen or mooi) but spread thank to its oral assimilation with the other term.

 

In this case, it's a regional German pronunciation, and contracted slang, of Guten Morgen. Mo'in!

 

wait wait wait
the corkians are german!?

 

no, its derived from Low german "mooi" meaning good or beautiful, it doesn't have anything to do with morning.

 

LOL The person who it is a tip of the hat to, uses at any time of the day, so, actually, come to think of it, we're both wrong. It means "Hello".

 

@Headset_O we need your help

 

Well, now that you've called him . . ...

 

M'mo'in memes

 

The Moinerator is here to clear stuff up:

Moin, which originates from the old word "Moi", meaning "Good" is the go to greeting from where I live. Since the meaning behind it is literally just "Good", you can say it at any time of day, it's not a short form for morning.

It's not related to any sort of conspiracy about Italy and nazis, we just wanted a custom greeting for Corkus so naturally I stepped in and vouched for Moin, it was changed to Mo'in and that's pretty much it.
There is a custom meaning behind it in Corkus tho, we are probably gonna explain it ingame however, so you will have to wait and find it yourself.

 

thank you oh all knowing one!

 

seriously
how does people do for notice this kind of stuff
