    Homo means gay, trans means changed sex and hippo means fat, semi aquatic mammal.

    Not to confuse anyone. English laziness strikes again!

        Yeah I was being sarcastic sorry. People go around saying stuff like “are you a homo?” And “look at that hippo!” We know what they mean, but they’re not saying what they think they’re saying

      hippo means fat, semi aquatic manual.

      Is there an automatic version?

        Oops, mammal. Also, I think some didn’t know I was being sarcastic and mocking our general lack of understanding of roots.
