I have no idea. Dystopian? Dystopian. The words are so much more simpler. Like, when you just say it. But in your mind you have it Do you know the reason why it I get confused? Is because I purposely, like hydrogen, when people say like hydrogen, I'm like, hydro-mogen, 'cause I I wanna like, I wanna make it funny. But then Like what you're saying. Ciniminin. Yeah, see, I knew. Cinimininini. Cinimininini. And then I actually 'cause I know, like, cinnamon, cinnamon. Like, I know the words, but then I purposely screw with myself and then that becomes my actual word. And then I'm just like, wait, I cannot say it anymore.
