“August is just gold wind”

“August” is not “Au” (the chemical symbol of gold) and “gust” (wind), but there are “gold(en) wind” jokes.

Replying to @Ashen_Jedi
Gold on periodic table = au, wind = gust
goldwind = august
later realized the happy coincidence of Jojo’s part 5 Vento Aureo = Golden Wind
(This is a reference to JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure: Golden Wind, an anime television series.—ed.)

August is a reference to Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure because Au is the chemical symbol for gold and gust is when wind blows so August = golden wind thanks for coming to my Ted Talk

I didn’t get it until I read your comment and knew that it was a chemistry joke. For anyone else: AU is the chemical symbol for gold. Gust as in a gust of wind
