According to Dictionary.com, a jaunt is "a short journey, especially one taken for pleasure."
Well I don't know who the fuck made dictionary.com king, but that's not what a jaunt is. That's total bullshit. For some reason they think they can just give any ol' word whatever definition they feel like giving it, probably when they're high, but they clearly don't know what they're talking about. You see, a jaunt (pronounced "jōnt" or, if you're especially cool, "jownt") is anything you want it to be. That's the magic of the word. It can be a, I don't know, a fish, or a movie, or even a short journey, especially one taken for pleasure, if you're like those dictionary.com guys. It's like a pronoun, except a lot cooler and much more useful. So why is this website called "That Roman Jaunt"? Because it fucking is, that's why. Imagine this conversation:
Imagine that conversation lasting for about half an hour before "someone else", who is an idiot, figures it out. My goal in life is to one day overhear people having that exact conversation. It would be like walking in on my girlfriend cheating on me with another, hopefully hotter girl. Well, it wouldn't be that awesome, but it would be pretty cool. |
