JeremyMallin, 21 days ago I find expressions with directions in them interesting, ones like "beating up", "dressing down", "pitching in", "pulling out". I wonder if other languages do things like that too. #RandomThoughts #Linguistics

JeremyMallin, 21 days ago It's fascinating to me that giving someone a "beat down" is the same thing as "beating them up". It implies that beating exists in some sort of non Euclidean space that folds in on itself. #Linguistics #Topology
