Noun
Definition: A way to remind people of the ineradicablilty of
hope dispite the futility of effort.
History: The word itself is quoting the meme-like video "Name one thing" *(the link to which is below) where two middle aged white
men react to just the beginning of a different video that starts off with a middle aged white man with dreadlocks playing a very colourful/rainbow coloured steel pan who says: "Name one thing..." There was clearly more to it, he may have meant to say something along the lines of: "Name one thing that is
orange" or "Name one thing that in bigger than an elephant" but the
men in an attempt to make a humorous
Youtube short they cut out everything past: "Name one thing..." One man (the man on the viewers' left) says: "Rocks" confidently (which we later learn is more than one thing) and the other man (the one on the veiwers' right) on the says: "That's good; mine was the ineraticability of
hope despite the futility of effort" and the other man responds: "...actually rocks is more than one thing..." and then the video ends. The video is in all about 10 seconds long and a quite
funny short in my
opinion (and the opinion of many others seeing as the video has over 669 thousand likes).
Observation: It sounds reminiscent of a Native American word that was put into the Latin script; a lot of Native American words have apostrophes and many don't include many vowels or abide by the usual laws of English grammar.
