Help @EndFamilyFire by Storing Firearms Properly! so Your Innocent Roommates Don't #Shoot themselves or -each other! | @adCouncil @bradybuzz
EFF (with ad COUNCIL & BRADY UNITED AGAINST GUN VIOLENCE) explains how you can help prevent #FamilyFire (fatal #shootings involving improperly stored- or misused guns in the home) in a report you can access through 'the bold word(s)' below; but first I want to teach you about those words. And I find you understand words better if you see 'the words at their base' (then going on to look at the words at those words' bases, then the words at those words' bases, etc.-etc. ad infinitum into their Foundation)
The word “Shoot (& #Shot #Shooting #Shooter #Shoots #Shots (I'm thinking of a #ShotGlass, but it's also 'slang' for "vaccinations) #Shooters #ShootingGames #ShootOut #Shootist #Shute #Bloodshot #ShootTheMoon (to Depart By Night with one's packed-bags to Escape Back-Rent) #Offshoot #Overshoot #Sharpshooter #Shotten #Troubleshooter #Undershoot #ShootTheBreeze #ShootEmUp #ShootToKill #ShootTheCat (to Vomit))” is built on ancient words that mean "to Chase, Throw."
The word's also "an arbitrary euphemistic alteration of shit"---important because it emphasizes that Shooting has nothing to do with Shitting except for their shared consonants 🤓 although one might think of #ShootingTheShit as something similar to 'locker-room talk.'
