I was just thinking about this this morning. What the heck is with the “-er” suffix?
“I’m a witcher.”
“What does a witcher do?”
“I
createwatchcatchbreedf***hunt witches.”“I’m a birder.”
“What does a birder do?”
“I
createcatchhuntbreedf***watch birds.”“Actually I think several of those could apply…”
I think the confusing-ass formula is this:
A [word1]er is a [word2]er of [word1]s.
