mediocre-latinist:

The names for the different depth layers of the sea are funny as hell because you’ve got

“Epipelagic” that’s like “top of the sea,” nbd

“Mesopelagic” middle of the sea, also good

“Bathypelagic” deep part of the sea, all logical like that

but then you have

“Abyssopelagic” which means “holy shit, this is actually deeper than I thought,” and then

“Hadopelagic” which means “WE DON’T KNOW WHAT THE FUCK IS DOWN THERE BUT WE’RE PRETTY SURE IT’S ACTUAL LITERAL HELL”
