    Explanation: Much of Mongol expansion collapsed because of internal politicking or logistics problems. However, the Mongols were defeated and repelled three times in a row by the Egyptian Mamluks, fielding an advanced and well-equipped professional army against the Mongol forces. The Mongols, then, decided this nut was too tough to crack, and refocused their attentions elsewhere.

    This is funny because it basically means “Lady, come pick me up” and in Turkish slang “wife , come pick me up” instead of the usual “mummy come pick me up”

      A historical variant I often see is “[Leader title] come pick me up”

      So I went with Khatun to fill both ‘leader’ and ‘mommy’ roles

      uhh please crush me under the hooves of your horde Khatun 😭
