#

#

I dare you to drink the bloody alphabet soup

#

#

#

No

#

It's a warning not to do it

#

Blooded is a word

#

broken gull It's a warning not to do it

that is not how you would phrase it, bro

#

I added I dare, on the 12th line. But I'm not changing the 14th line

sonic dagger Oct 21, 2023, 1:20 PM

#

then change it to "don't you dare

broken gull Oct 21, 2023, 1:20 PM

#

That's odd

#

And doesn't mean the same thing

#

It's meant to sound old fashioned

sonic dagger Oct 21, 2023, 1:21 PM

#

nobody in the history of english has ever phrased it like that

#

unless they're making a grammatical error

broken gull Oct 21, 2023, 1:22 PM

#

Maybe not what you have read, I wouldn't say nobody

#

Dare you is like saying if you dare

#

It's old fashioned

#

And it's poetry, so sometimes it's okay to have odd phrasings

sonic dagger Oct 21, 2023, 1:24 PM

#

odd is fine

#

incorrect is not

broken gull Maybe not what you have read, I wouldn't say nobody

please, show me an example of this

broken gull Oct 21, 2023, 1:27 PM

#

For instance the phrase "dare you to move"

#

The pronoun I is missing but the listener to the song knows what it means

#

Also it's in archaic language

#

Dare you journey down this path, it shall lead to naught but damnation.
