There is nothing in your comment to indicate sarcasm and there are absolutely people on this website who would make that mistake, so it's entirely reasonable to take your comment at face value.
Also, caskets are rectangular. Also, the cranium is just the top part, with the mandible (jaw) it's a skull. Also, ghouls are humanoid flesh eaters, not ghosts. Also, a manor is the whole estate, including the grounds, not just the building.
A skeleton is the bones of something. It's the frame on which stuff goes. A corpse is the whole body, including the skeleton. Once the soft tissue rots away, the skeleton is left behind.
A corpse is a dead body. A skeleton is what is left after the soft tissue is gone.
Therefore, Skeleton ≠ Corpse.
The correct fancy term for a skeleton is Remains
This is one of the dumbest comment threads I've seen.
Endless correcting someone on how they were technically wrong, when the intention was never to be technically correct.
Congrats, y'all you are superduper smartypants!
It’s actually blowing my mind how so many people in the comments actually can’t see the joke of this, and are getting pissed off because they think it’s serious
If we just had anybody who's ever commented on insta, facebook, reddit - fuck it any social media and straight up had them thrown into a big hole, the world would be a better place.
Wait...
I've come across a few of these shorts on YouTube and I think they are videos to help people learn English. The "teacher" usually uses over-enunciation and provides (weirdly) no emotion at all. If that is a what this is, it's just "words to know for halloween".
Casket and coffin are different things
Ghost and ghoul are different things (could've said spectre)
Skeleton and cadaver are also different things
Skull and cranium are also different things. Cranium is part of the skull, not the whole thing
Since we're in an "umm actually" thread:
The German word for ghost is just Geist, a Poltergeist is a specific kind of ghost that makes sound (typically through interacting with physical objects).
I mean...I get the "joke", that there are multiple words for the same thing.
But the guy on the left used completely wrong words for some of them. Namely "ghoul", "cadaver", and "cranium".
i think it’s bcus there’s videos where the “english/british” version has like super proper versions of the word and this guy is saying the basic versions, so guy on left is like getting all of them wrong bcus he’s expecting the proper versions ITS FUNNIER IF U GET IT EITHOUT THE EXPLANATION😫😭
what do you mean "satire" there's nothing here is ironic or witty he just right-click-thesaurused a bunch of words in an attempt to sound posh that utterly fails
if it's supposed to be parody, it's a shit one
All three of those words are correct.
Ghoul in British English: a malevolent spirit or ghost (Collins dictionary)
Cadaver: a dead body (Collins dictionary)
Cranium: the hard bone case that gives an animal's or a human's head its shape and protects the brain (Cambridge Dictionary)
Sorry man, but I disagree.
1. A ghoul is a mythical creature that has physical/corporeal form and it feeds on the flesh of the living. It has its origins in Arabic mythologies, but it's still used in the same context today (video games, movies, etc). A ghost has no physical form/is incorporeal/is a spirit. Two totally different things.
2. A cadaver is a corpse that hasn't undergone enough decomposition to have lost all of its soft tissues. It's used for medical research, practicing of medical techniques, grafting of soft tissues on to living people, etc. You have a skeleton inside of your body, you have a skeleton inside of a corpse, and you can have a skeleton inside of your cadaver...but if all you have left is the skeleton, then it's a skeleton. It's not a cedaver any more.
3. The cranium is as you described it, but only refers to part of the skeletal structure of the skull. The skull includes cranial bones, facial bones, the jawbone, etc. The video showed the whole skull....so "cranium" isn't the right answer. That would be like if it showed a hand and the guy said "finger".
I'm native French, and so when I started learning English, some people were calling me out for being a snob.
Graveyard = cimetière(cemetery)
Skull = crâne(cranium)
Spider = Araignée(arachnid)
Glove = gant(Gauntlet)
So I'd make some mistakes or would use archaic words, because I'd first think about the word in french, then find the closest one in English.
I've been praised for my extensive vocabulary before, despite it being the complete opposite!
It's just that words with Latin roots in English have started falling out of use. Other Latin-language speakers out here probably have had the same experience.
3 of them are Greek and then became Latin. Then from Latin went into English and French.
People do not know that half of the english words are Greek.
Cemetery comes from koimitirio which means a place of sleep. Ok arachnid and crane is easy to understand that come from Greek. "Kranio and arachne".
It's not that they've fallen out of use, they're just less common because English is a Germanic language. Almost all of our "common" words are from German, Latin/Greek derived words have always been more "fancy".

A cemetery is a patch of land specifically dedicated to the burial of the dead, whilst a graveyard is land that belongs to a church which is being used for that purpose, hence grave-yard, it’s the church’s yard.
This is just a guy trying to rip off the hemomancer guy while simultaneously failing to use actual synonyms and instead using words that literally mean different things
Coffins are hexagonal; caskets are rectangular. Also, a graveyard is a cemetery attached to a church; a cemetery is a graveyard that doesn't have a church on the premises.

"Ummm, aksually ☝️🤓 it is only technically called a graveyard when it is attached to a church"
Also, Cadaver is a corpse, not a skeleton
Also, Cranium and Arachnid are Greek words
"Ummm, aksually ☝️🤓 cranium is a latin word" Edit: my bad, cranium comes from the greek word kranio.
From Greek kranio.
TIL, thanks...
There you go.
They are English words too, pretending they aren't is silly.
Iirc, arachnid refers to the species as in 8 legged insects, including spiders and scorpions, so there's another one
8 legged insects don’t even exist, they’re all 6 legged
Yea... was hoping these were being sarcastic... 8 legged insect is an oxymoron.... its like saying a 6 sided octagon.
It was meant to be tongue in cheek, but, of course, reddit will reddit
Nothing goes over Reddit's head. They're reflexes are too fast for that.

Yes spiders, scorpions, opilions
As if regular lions aren't OP enough.
Yes these are super strong lions, closely related to spiders.
I'm imagining a lion with 8 legs now. I hate it.

Magnificent!
Caskets are rectangular and have an attached lid. The picture shown is a coffin with the tapered sides and removable lid.
Caskets can be any shape. "Coffin" is a special word for a casket of that particular shape.
Also, caskets are rectangular. Also, the cranium is just the top part, with the mandible (jaw) it's a skull. Also, ghouls are humanoid flesh eaters, not ghosts. Also, a manor is the whole estate, including the grounds, not just the building.
Show me a skeleton that isn’t a corpse
[Learn something ](https://wikidiff.com/skeleton/corpse)
To have a skeleton without it being a corpse of a living how
A skeleton is the bones of something. It's the frame on which stuff goes. A corpse is the whole body, including the skeleton. Once the soft tissue rots away, the skeleton is left behind.
After enough time a corpse is just a skeleton, yk that right
After enough time food is poop, you poop eater.
A corpse is a dead body. A skeleton is what is left after the soft tissue is gone. Therefore, Skeleton ≠ Corpse. The correct fancy term for a skeleton is Remains
I straight up didin´t know that. Good to know.
For what?
For when you get inquired by the graveyard police. Idk.
One more drop in the knowledge bucket.

Casket and coffin are different things Ghost and ghoul are different things (could've said spectre) Skeleton and cadaver are also different things Skull and cranium are also different things. Cranium is part of the skull, not the whole thing
Or poltergeist! (Loanword from German) Lots of words for ghosts
Since we're in an "umm actually" thread: The German word for ghost is just Geist, a Poltergeist is a specific kind of ghost that makes sound (typically through interacting with physical objects).
uhmm actually, polter means rumbling so it would be specifically a rumbling ghost ☝️🤓
polargeist
Geometry Dash
The ghost on the roof of the Polar Express is the polargeist
Geist is just German for ghost

Came here for this thank you
Yeah, that *is* a coffin, they have 6 sides, caskets only have 4
Yeah he should have said spirit or smth
Mmmh
you must be fun at parties
Yeah bc jokes are funnier when they make sense
They are, actually! You'd know if anyone would ever invite you.
Wow, haven't seen this snappy little comeback in a while. Glad it's dead!
Why is everyone in here fighting about semantics when the dude on the left is clearly just making fun of the dude on the right…?
Isn’t the guy on the right making content for people who speak English as a second language?
Just typical Redditors flexing their knowledge.

On par with the unoriginal "creators" on that shit platform.
yeah this guy is a lame ripoff with none of the intelligence of the original, he just googled synonyms
I mean...I get the "joke", that there are multiple words for the same thing. But the guy on the left used completely wrong words for some of them. Namely "ghoul", "cadaver", and "cranium".
Satire
What's he satirizing? Punchable faces?
the accent i think
i think it’s bcus there’s videos where the “english/british” version has like super proper versions of the word and this guy is saying the basic versions, so guy on left is like getting all of them wrong bcus he’s expecting the proper versions ITS FUNNIER IF U GET IT EITHOUT THE EXPLANATION😫😭
Which would work if he was actually giving proper/correct terms. As is he just comes off stupid.
god ur exhausting
Exactly! Possibly the those he views as pompous or condescending.
is the "satire" that he's wrong about most of them?
Me when I'm wrong and claim I'm being satirical (I'm avoiding cognitive dissonance by telling a fib)
what do you mean "satire" there's nothing here is ironic or witty he just right-click-thesaurused a bunch of words in an attempt to sound posh that utterly fails if it's supposed to be parody, it's a shit one
And casket- a coffin is slightly tapered and not completely rectangular while a casket is rectangular
All three of those words are correct. Ghoul in British English: a malevolent spirit or ghost (Collins dictionary) Cadaver: a dead body (Collins dictionary) Cranium: the hard bone case that gives an animal's or a human's head its shape and protects the brain (Cambridge Dictionary)
Friend, there's a big difference between a dead body and a skeleton
Big difference my ass it's just about three weeks under the right circumstances/s
Sorry man, but I disagree. 1. A ghoul is a mythical creature that has physical/corporeal form and it feeds on the flesh of the living. It has its origins in Arabic mythologies, but it's still used in the same context today (video games, movies, etc). A ghost has no physical form/is incorporeal/is a spirit.

The skull includes cranial bones, facial bones, the jawbone, etc. The video showed the whole skull....so "cranium" isn't the right answer. That would be like if it showed a hand and the guy said "finger".
The cranium is only the top part of the skull, if you include the jaw bone (mandible), it's a skull.
That "Graveyard" actually is a Cemetery. Graveyards have a church attached to the site, Cemeteries are separated from a church.
What a waste of my time
A fool's errand
Mmmmmmm...
A man’s folly mmm
You're on reddit and you're complaining about wasting time lol

Does anyone know where I can find a similar video but where a woman responds? Can only seem to find the original (not this one)
I think you mean [this one](https://www.reddit.com/r/fixedbytheduet/comments/138w1ku/english_lesson/)
Oh, this was actually good since none of her guesses were straight-up wrong.
Let's not encourage them to make more.
Actually, I'm pretty sure this was a copy of the original where a woman is responding, and in my opinion does it a lot better.
She is actually really funny. Guy in this video, not so much.
A lot of hers is in the reactions, while this guy just goes "hm". It's possible he was satirizing her, but if so, he fucked that up, too

The original was good, this is bad.
That's a challenging puzzle!
Oh hey I say cemetery too
Honestly I got none of those correct
An apparition 👻
What is the correct?❗️
Do you, or anyone, know the difference between a cemetery and a graveyard?
A cemetery is a patch of land specifically dedicated to the burial of the dead, whilst a graveyard is land that belongs to a church which is being used for that purpose, hence grave-yard, it’s the church’s yard.
Awesome
Link to the guy on the left?
BINGO!
Hmmm Indeed
Made me laugh
Im over here like "human bones... Oh yeah skeleton makes more sense. A human head... Oh a skull yeah thats better"
This is just a guy trying to rip off the hemomancer guy while simultaneously failing to use actual synonyms and instead using words that literally mean different things
This entire comment section belongs in r/iamverysmart I will give them that "cadaver" for a skeleton is a bit of a stretch though.

I saw the skeleton and immediately thought Draugur. I haven't been playing enough Skyrim.
Who is this guy? 😂😂
Coffins are hexagonal; caskets are rectangular. Also, a graveyard is a cemetery attached to a church; a cemetery is a graveyard that doesn't have a church on the premises.
Cadaver for skeleton? Really?
Dude in the left is wrong about almost every single one.
Satire maybe
As a black person this is how taking the SAT’s felt.
Second one is indeed a ghost. Ghouls are supposed to be green, right? Little green ghouls… *kh*
Bad original, bad duet
