Etymology

I mean you could Google it right now and I know for a fact SOMEONE figured out the riddle. I mean, it's clear that you are pretending not to know what my actual name is and you want me to change it because it would constitute "Lifting a finger." You're being an idiot. Demi-God in Latin. Archangel. German for famed in war. Hebrew for warrior lion. It isn't that hard.

Hym "I mean, you could Google the names that correspond with the Etymology. And then you are going to find that one of the words doesn't match the spelling of anyone with that name and you going to think 'Wait a minute! HIM isn't actually spelled with a "Y"!' And then you'll have me. But you are clearly stalling for more time. It doesn't matter how much time you try to spend doing whatever you're doing. Just stop trying to get the better of me. You shouldn't have done it in the first place. And now you are sitting there blubbering at me 'we're not retarded! Waah! ☹️' with your little pouty-face emoji and you have to consider that I MYSELF am just sitting here thinking 'Wow... This is fucking sad bro...' And then I have to sit here and wait for you to get over yourselves so I can right the wrong that he being inflicted on me."
