hey so i noticed a while ago that my home has a lot of slang and words people here don't use
or they don't really get how i use them

Hey, I know most of these since you live here!

Except..."rock knockers?"

[laminae]

I think those are car parts. They keep rocks from hitting your wheels?

[imaglyphwitch]

That...is not a thing that I know.

[Mebh can't actually read, but her Omni does have a text-to-speech function so she can at least understand it. Being as young as she is, she has a good laugh at some of those words.]

These are some funny-soundin' words. But what are cupcakes? Are those tasties?

[Yes, that's her burning question. If it's food, she has to know about it.]

[laminae]

[It's a good thing she's using voice, because the lack of a username throws Fern for a loop.]

You've never heard of cupcakes? Oh man, they're like the best desserts ever. They're basically mini cakes, so instead of stuffing yourself with one big cake you can eat a dozen of 'em at once. The best kind are Finncakes, but they're for Finns only.

Oh, so you're gonna start inflicted this on MORE people now, huh?

I look forward to so many more people deciding math is cool because of this.

[He might feel like trash but gentle ribbing of the boyfriend is always a-ok in his book!]

[laminae]

[Glob, he'd be so much more mad about this if it didn't also mean Varian was acting somewhat normal.]

aw geez not this again
no one is ever gonna think math is cool and definitely not because of my dictionary

[kyley_b]

can we have the swears used in sentences? for research. like do you just yell 'clam'or is it like 'dude you're such a clam'?


'butt guy' definitely has different connotations on earth. and bjork is a singer!

[laminae]

oh dude you can do both
whatever you want, get creative
some other swears are yogaballs, dirtballs, flip, freaking, Glob Grod Gob Grob or just one of them works

what's it mean on your Earth?
and i've never heard of her was she human?

[onebadapple]

My goodness, what an interesting language you have, Fern! I don't know how much of this can translate into German, though.

[laminae]

Oh dang, do you think you could try, though? It's cool if you can't, but it'd be neat to see what some of this stuff sounds like in German!

[Oh, Rapunzel is extremely charmed by all of this. You can probably hear her giggling from her room.]

wait
so if 'apples' is like diamonds, why would apple grease be an insult???

wouldn't that be, like
diamond dust???

[laminae]

no way!! not when you're talking about making something greasy that shouldn't be greasy
like
greasy pizza? awesome
greasy apples? that's gnarly, dude

[eudaimonikos]

Wow, this is so banunununununus. Incredibly bizonkers! Algebraic! १✌˚◡˚✌५

[thanks for starting this, fern]

[laminae]

[Oh no, he's created a monster.

.... Not that he realizes it. He's totally sincere in his response.]

wow, you got it nailed already! great job dude

[obeir]

Hey, Fern. This is great. Are there any robot-specific Ooo terms or slang words that you know of?

[ Relevant to K's interests for obvious reasons. He might even adopt some of the slang himself.

Hopefully there's something better than "skinjob". ]

[laminae]

hmmm let me think

[Give him a minute.]

not that i can think of?
a robot's just a robot

[You better believe Zib is taking notes on all of this to copy down to try to study later, as well as asking questions.]

So what does "skronk" mean? I think you said a word like that once to me but I didn't know what it meant.

[laminae]

oh skronk is easy
it's kind of like another curse? it means to mess up

[charlastan]

THIS IS A WHOLE NOTHER LANGUAGE KID! AND I THOUGHT I WAS OUTTA TOUCH WITH TEENAGERS BEFORE!

BUT UH. SP'S GONNA BE ON IT WHEN YOU GET TO THE S'ES RIGHT?

[Obviously he has priorities here.]

[laminae]

hah, are you calling yourself old???

nah, i don't have nicknames on here
that'd be a whole other list!

[survivalthroughhate]

..........This explains so much of why you talk the way you do.

[Not exactly a compliment but neither was it a full insult.]

[laminae]

what? it's how everyone talks in Ooo
