dyslexism 

A rather long preamble to the main point of what someone is trying to say. It's the story before the story that people with dyslexia often find themselves telling before they can tell you the thing they wanted to tell you.

A lot of dyslexisms end with the phrase, "..Wait, what were we talking about?" or, "...I'm sorry, I've lost my train of thought."
A stranger asked me a question the other day and I found myself talking to her for about 15 minutes before she interrupted and said, "Can you please just answer my question?" Embarrassed, I asked that she forgive me my dyslexism and to please repeat the question.

She replied, "Yes, of course!" then repeated her question, "Are you in line for the bathroom?"

Tubbo's Dyslexia 

Tubbo does have dyslexia. He has talked about it in many streams. If you see hate comments in his YouTube or streams that is one of the reasons why. He has had breakdowns from this so if you like to put down hate comments do not. It affects him a lot so keep it to yourselves. He does sometimes misspell words mostly in his twitch streams and if that makes you annoyed then leave.

Word of the Day on August 25, 2026
West Midlands slang word for rockers, bikers, greasers etc. In the late 1980s it was used by the UK music press to refer to a specific scene centered around the bands Pop Will Eat Itself and Crazyhead. The term never found favour with readers of 'the inkies' (Sounds, Melody Maker and the still extant NME) and was soon dropped. Now often used in predominantly working-class areas of the midlands and the north to mean someone who listens to rock-derived music and/or dresses in a manner that suggests they affiliate themselves with rock music of some kind.
Some grebo passed with Sabbath playing on his stereo.
The Poppies are at no. 17? God, a grebo band in the charts!
They're playing nu-metal now, bloody grebos!
