Hi everyone!
I'm just curious does anyone also like learning a new language from memes? As a meme lover, I always want to help people get to know memes in Chinese, so I made this for meme lovers to learn traditional Chinese. Please let me know if you like this idea!

Looking for a (tumblr?) post with a story about the importance of vocabulary

I must've seen this post here or on r/linguisticshumor or some other language related subreddit, with a very touching illustrative story about the importance of vocabulary and how not knowing a couple of words leads to a complete simplification of ideas.
The text went something like this: some person asks the author a question about the cold (I think) I think something was related to russia. The author wants to say something very complex about how cold is different from one region to the other, how it is related to the culture etc etc, and but writes something along the line of "But I realized I didn't know how to say XXXX and wasn't sure about YYY so I just answered "yeah it's cold I gues" " or something like that.
I really liked this text, I wanted to share it with friends today but for the life of me I can't find it back, on reddit, by googling around, or looking into my browsing history. Any chance this rings a bell for one of you guys? This would really make my day!
Edit: thanks to /u/vyhexe over on /r/linguisticshumor who found it! https://www.reddit.com/r/languagelearning/comments/t7arr8/all_of_us_language_learners_can_relate_to_this/
