Understanding is a really weird word, when you think about it. I mean, what does it mean literally? You have Under, which means, well ,beneath, and standing, which means, well, I can't think of another word for standing, but it's pretty self explanatory. How on earth does combining those two little words together equal the grasping of knowledge to the point that you can actually apply it to the rest of your life? It doesn't make any sense. Literally, it should mean that someone was trampled or something. "How did he die?" "He was understood." "Ouch. That must have hurt." "I know right?" Logically that's how it should go. This is why I love the words.
Fact: In French, "to steal" and "to fly" are the same word. So really, if you're going to steal something in France, you should go for a plane. That way the confusion could potentially be like
Aviator Guy:"Help!! He's stealing the plane!"
Police Guy:"Well, he has a license right?"
Aviator Guy:"You can get a license for stealing planes?"
Police Guy:"Oh totally. It's called a pilot's license"
Aviator Guy:"What? I have a pilot's license, and I've never stolen a plane"
Police Guy:"How on earth were you able to get a license without flying a plane?"
Aviator Guy: .......... *hangs up* The police department is totally corrupt.
Other Aviator Guy: It's totally time to revolt against the government again.
Aviator Guy: Word....The French Equivalent.
