What's amazing is you can actually make a grammatically correct sentence by repeating "vague, ever-present dread" eight times

Sorry English is not my mother language, but if this isn't a joke, I would appreciate an explanation of how this works :D

i think it's a riff on how the animal pictured is a buffalo, and you can technically make a correct sentence by repeating "buffalo" with and without a capital B, in certain dialects.

similar to how you could say "reid read 'red reed'" and it'll make sense if you intonate it correctly

Thank you! Every language has its quirks but I feel sometimes that English is in its own category 😅

eh, i think it's just because english has so many dialects, it's effectively a whole lot of really similar languages in a trenchcoat.

My swedish dialect has equally stupid stuff, i could conceivably say "ä i öa i åa?" (literally just a string of vowels) meaning "is it the island in the river?", there's even a comedy song about how wonderfully dumb the dialect can be: (slightly NSFW) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CHGuZyUBKSk
