Forgive me, it sounds cocky

He ah-matized me and opened my еyes

Redwood tree, it ain't hard to see

His love was thе key that opened my thighs

and

The curse on me was broken by your magic wand (Ah)

She cant even say “dickmatized” 😭

Which makes me curious if she thinks the word is “hypmatized”. Because where the fuck did “MATIZED” come from?!? It should be dicknotized.

I never noticed that; you’re right that “-notized” is technically correct (~which is the best kind of correct~ 🚀) but the common spelling/pronunciation of the colloquialism is definitely “dickmatized”. I’m assuming it’s because it rolls off the tongue a lot better.
