      Exactly as young as you think unfortunately. They did have slavery, so probably without consent too.

    Ok so a funny thing is that in my language debilas just means someone really stupid it is an insult but is it a coincidence or not because the roman empire had only traded amber with us. And if that is the case I wonder how when trading amber someone diverted the conversation to twinks so many times that it became part of the language. Or it is just a coincidence.

      The Lithuanian meaning is the same as in English, French, Russian, Finnish, etc. The meaning has changed during the two millenia and has then been borrowed into Lithuanian.

    From this, we can infer that twinks were obviously a central part of the Roman conception of the world around them

    it’s not that well-known so i don’t blame the tweeter, but the word starting with E is a slur. i’m not sure if there’s an exact replacement, though, because “Inuit” only refers to one community out of I think three?

      I believe Inuit refers to all three whereas the word above typically excludes Aleuts

    i wonder whether the italian word “la moglie” (the wife) comes from “mollia”, i.e. “the soft one”.

      Should be from mulier which means woman in Latin, but maybe the mulier word itself is related?

    A lot of these are just regular words that could also be used for twinkies (especially puer seems funny, calling twink a literal boy).

    But we still see influences from the Roman empire today - in financial industry entry positions are often (junior) analyst.

      There’s also twunk - a twink and a hunk. A twink with muscles but still hairless, incredibily smooth. A twank on the other hand, a twank is no good. That’s a twink and a skank. Essentially just a ragdoll being passed around from twink to twunk to bear to otter…

      It’s very difficult to maintain the lifestyle of a twank-versatile because this often leads to a lot of self-hatred and denial, especially among the political or religious types, so they try to realign their sexual orientation through therapy.
