They sound rather backward, these Nacirema people.

But they did put a man on the noom.

You people must have much better eyes than me. I can’t read it at all. Writing too small.

I think they were the ones that had that ritual dance, the nacirema.

That’s what I was thinking, too.
Your challenge, should you accept it, is to substitute translations of each arcane and inappropriate word, to make the whole passage meaningful in a modern context.
Start with what the heck this is referring to:
“Throwing a piece of wampum across the river Potomac”
Washington crossed the Potomac with his army on Christmas 1776. Wampum is Amerind beads used as money or on clothing. But what’s the connection?

Ah, got it. Legend is that Washington threw a silver dollar across the Potomac. My lack of knowledge of Nacirema “history” has always been appalling.

I just read the title.
I admit I spent some time trying saying it aloud until I worked out how to decipher it.

It’s worth reading the whole article.

Yes it was.
Well written, and still very relevant.
In fact I don’t think we have progressed at all.

A year ago I would have agreed with you.
Now I’m sure we must have progressed. I don’t know how, but there must be some way.
