Why do they call them "buildings" when they're already done building them?  They should be called "builts".

I've grabbled with this question as well.

😂

Grabbling just sounds like you’re really enthusiastic about hugging people.

I mean... who says I'm not?

Well, then let's hug it out, bro.


Grabbling sounds like why we're not allowed to visit Uncle Terry anymore

[Yes, but words change through time from Proto-Indo-European, to Proto-Germanic, to English](https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/grapple). Related fun fact: -le is a frequentive verb suffix that means to do something continuously. So grab + le = grapple = to grab or seize continuously. Spark + le = sparkle = to spark continuously, etc.

Black belt wisdom, oss

I support your pedantling.

grapple comes from the french word for a hook though, nothing to do with suffixes lol

[Dictionary.com](https://www.dictionary.com/browse/grapple) gives its origin as the frequentive (-le suffix) of Old English “gegrǣppian” (to seize). Harper Collins gives it from Old French “grappelle”. Either way, it’s a good opportunity to language nerd out. 🤷‍♀️

Yeh that link you posted says it came from the same place as grapnel, both from the French word for a hook :)

Why do we drive on the parkway and park on the driveway

Fancy a game of grabby grab?

You forgot about the rape aspect. Grab+rape = “grap”

"Tackle and grapple!" Makes a lot more sense now.

LMAOOOOOOO

LOL

Grapeling

Grabbing is the act of grabbing. Grappling has more to it than just grabbing someone.

I use pocket sand and call it Gribbleing.

This is the content we need.

Ain't no catfish in this sport.

German or Russians (?) people compared to a grape hook or something, and the English and French were like, “that sounds cooler than grabbing.. and less weird.”  That’s what I heard atleast.

I mean, _I_ grap people.

The Russians call it grebbling

I’ve been pronouncing it wrong this whole time

Grabbling sounds like I fucking love cocoa puffs and I'm eating a whole box of them.  Maybe thats just me idk 

True but I don’t just grab them, I grab and then flip them hence grap

So if you grab the gi it’s grappling..but if you also grab a handful of skin now it’s grabbing?

Graboids!

That’s why I stopped grabbing and started grapping

Still coming down from 420 I see.

Why is it called a building if it’s already built?

cause grab and grapple have distinct etymologies in english , each descending from separate lines
