So I was blazed as fuck the other day right, and I started thinking about grammar in my head and getting philosophical and I realised something. Check it out it's pretty cool and fucked up

It's one phrase, the same words, but it means two opposite things.

here's the phrase

"Man eating shark"

Now judging by the way you use your grammer, this can either mean a shark that is capable of eating a man, for instance: "LOOK OUT, IN THE WATER, IT'S A MAN EATING SHARK!!! :O"

But then it can also mean "I went to a restaurant the other day and saw a man, eating shark"

I dunno, I find it cool... But how do you decide what means what?

I figured "man-eating shark" would be a shark that eats men
and "man, eating shark" would be a man that eats shark
so what would "man eating shark" with no dash or no comma mean?

Say I have a story and I write "He had a dream of a man eating shark" what would that mean?

Iunno... the english language is fucked... then I smoked more and started getting too deep thinking about the brain capacity it would take for someone to be able to create a language as sophisticated as the ones we use, it's incredible, the thought proccess you'd need to create a whole working language like that... i can't understand how humans evolved like this.... we're amazing creatures man
