I thought it was like squid and squid where the plural and singular are the same but wouldn’t it make more sense if it was like octopi and the singular of pierogi is pierogus?
Octopi is actually a false cognate–octopus comes from Greek, not Latin, so the plural would be octopodes. Octopus and octopuses are the generally used terms in modern English.
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the Perogie of Happiness.
I think it’s actually constitutional law that everyone is allowed to buy a perogy.
Fun fact: pierogi is plural. A singular one is a pierog.
Edit to fix terrible typos

Yeah but pieroguses just doesn’t make sense.
Maybe not to you, but the pierogusaurus needs food
I am now imagining the most delicious of dinosaurs.
Wouldn’t that be pierogisaurus?
I’m definitely making pierogi tomorrow.
It’s Polish not Latin. Pieróg becomes pierogi in plural.
Pieróg specifically, but close enough yeah
Kurwa, sorry about that.
Didnt Trump’s supreme Court rule that businesses can refuse service to people the don’t agree with the lifestyle of?
Maybe the perogy person didn’t agree with the lifestyle of a lawyer.
He defended Epstein and Trump. I will allow a small business the right to refuse him service.
He’s still defending Epstein, even after his death, and he’s defending Israel. He doesn’t deserve a pierogi.
You know, sometimes I like to think everyone is allowed the right to a defense. Sometimes, birds of a feather.

I wish I was endowed with pierogue because the Eastern Europeans would be all over that.
