TranscriptionA drawing of a naked person being dragged away by a green demon; the drawing is surrounded by a border with various drawn mussels and clams. The caption reads “Monk 1: What are you drawing? Monk 2: A poor soul being dragged to hell by demons. Monk 1: Cool! And what are you planning to use as a border? Monk 2: I'm thinking freshwater mussels. Monk 1: That's really perfect.”

IIRC mussels were “unclean”, so would that jive with the whole demonic sin thing?

    Fun fact: it’s “jibe” not “jive” - https://www.grammarly.com/commonly-confused-words/jibe-vs-jive

    Please don’t take this as me being an asshole, it’s just that English is my second language, and I find this kind of stuff fascinating.

    Second-language English speaker correcting first-language speaker - are you Dutch by any chance?

    Jibe is also a term from sailing meaning to reset a sail attached to a boom

    try not to get too caught up on the dictionary meaning of words, languages are living, to jive with something could to dance together

    interesting that jive and jibe have the b/v in them so can be easy to mix them either way

    Leviticus 11 9 “‘Of all the creatures living in the water of the seas and the streams you may eat any that have fins and scales. 10 But all creatures in the seas or streams that do not have fins and scales—whether among all the swarming things or among all the other living creatures in the water—you are to regard as unclean. 11 And since you are to regard them as unclean, you must not eat their meat; you must regard their carcasses as unclean. 12 Anything living in the water that does not have fins and scales is to be regarded as unclean by you"
