          Take my updoot and get the hell out of here

          Edit: side note: the two actually have the same etymological root, the Latin infans meaning “infant”. It were the Spanish that somehow turned infante (originally just “youth”) into “foot soldier”

          Also, fun fact, infans comes from in- (negative prefix) + fari (to speak); “one that does not speak”.
