and i don't mean by accident i mean the very first time a human being made a noise that he considered a word and people heard it and understood it as a word

"ow"/grunts/moans don't count so stop saying that

pussum wussum gusshummm

Oo

i dont mean the sound they made, I mean the word they said.

it would have some meaning, the very first word. it could be translated to english, hypothetically.

what would that first word be in english

nice

good guess. i like this answer

Probably something related to survival - sex, water, food, heat, clothing

not true Migos bad and boujee

it was probably mom

everyone's first experience of this earth was through their mother

“bruh…”

my twitter @

it was definitely something like bruh or nice if it wasn't mom

Aye!!!!

aye pass me that jawn

-first sentence ever

s**

nah but fr,

probably something like

"you me f*** now"

Wait until you find out who the first mothers uncle was

it was freud!

prob something that couldnt really be expressed non verbally so the words we use for basic social interactions wouldnt be good candidates

also more likely to be an object rather than an action I think. and an object that was both essential and widely available

maybe a sound for "water"

f***

something translating to "ow" to express pain

wake up f1lthy!

this makes so much sense

but I feel like you can express pain in so many ways without an explicit word for it

like groaning, wincing, pointing etc.

if the question is 'what was the first sound that a group of people decided should consistently refer to something' I don't think it would be pain because there wasnt really a need for it

especially bc pain is something you express in the moment rather than something you have to talk about abstractly
