- Use NSFW marking accordingly
Laittakaa meemejä tänne.
- Odota ainakin 2 kuukautta ennen meemin postaamista uudelleen
- Ei selkeän poliittista sisältöä (poliitikoista, poliittisista tapahtumista, vaaleista jne) parempi paikka esim. !politicalmemes@lemmy.ca

MODERATORS
Apparently it means making them water and dust resistant or something like that
It derives from "to soak" or "to saturate" because they saturate the fabric with some resin (i think) to fill the voids between the strings, so it becomes (mostly) impermeable to water.
Yeah, if you think of "filling up" as the definition it's pretty easy
Ha, soaking
Interesting. I wonder what the etomological origin of that word is. Cuz whenever my husband gets me pregnant, I do not feel impervious to water or dust.
And in Spanish it just means "question."
But if spanish-speaking person A hears person B say they're "embarrassed," A might think B is pregnant.
"imprégner" in french, close enough
How you do that by getting them pregnant?
Wouldn't that be "impermeated"
unimpermeable
