Twenteen

The real way to say the number 12. It’s not “Twelve”. If you have a high enough intelligence, you’ll come to realize that it’s actually “Twenteen”
Person A: How old are you?
Person B: I’m twelve.
Person A: What kind of number is that?
Person B: Uh.. it’s just a one and a two together.
Person A: That’s pronounced “Twenteen”. I don’t know what language you got that number from, but it’s not English.

Tententen

Another name for Giovanni Boccaccio’s Decameron
Since the Decameron has the Greek word for the number ten (δέκα) in its name, and in the work itself there are ten people, each of whom tells a story each of the ten days spent in their final place, I made up a new name for this famous piece. It’s Tententen.
