Slogan: Je bent een rund als je met vuurwerk stunt.


----- [Je] seems so First-Person , Yet here it's [Ye]


Runt:

1500s: Originally referred to an old or decayed tree stump (a provincial
term with unknown origin).

1540s: Evolved to describe a small ox or cow, possibly influenced by the
Dutch word theory.

1600s: Became a general term for undersized animals and even ignorant
people.

1700s: A slang term emerged for a short and stocky person (used as a
term of abuse).

1840s: The meaning of "runt" specifically referring to the smallest
animal in a litter (especially pigs) appeared, likely starting as a
regional term and eventually becoming widely used in American English.

_________________

In publishing, a "runt" refers to a very short last line in a paragraph. It typically consists of just a few words, often even a
single word, sitting awkwardly on a line by itself.

------- K.Vonnegut (e.g.) uses this type of sentence fragment at
the end of a paragraph. Rather effectively. No?

_____________________________

the sentence== "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog."

(widow = last line on a page, orphan = first line on a new page).

widow= only the word "dog" might appear at the top of the next page.

orphan= only "The" appearing at the bottom of the previous page.

--------- Maybe LaTeX takes care of these automatically???


___________________

uithalen (uit + halen): Literally "pull out," can figuratively mean
"pull off" or "do something daring."

Example: "Hij haalde een gevaarlijke stunt uit op zijn skateboard."
(He pulled off a dangerous stunt on his skateboard.)


Note: The verb "stunten" can also be used in a more neutral
sense to describe performing a difficult or impressive feat, such as an
athlete performing a stunt. However, in the context of the slogan,
the focus is on the negative connotation of recklessness and danger.
