- [3:15 PM] Xenosphobatic: Discreet - Last Tuesday at 7:00 AM
- Just because I find it useful and feel like it
- http://descriptivewords.org/
- [3:17 PM] bob: oh, a thesaurus
- [3:18 PM] bob: those usually don't end well for people using them because nuance and diction describe a scene more than a word in a vacuum can
- [3:29 PM] Shoggocks: @Motivation there's a difference between being well-read and being pretentious when it comes to vocabulary. Using a word like "effluvial" to describe a foul odor that isn't directly related to sewage is pretentious. Using it correctly, isn't.
- [3:33 PM] Naju: >not being native english speaker
- Kinda makes me confused sometimes because of the choosing of the words. I just have to guess the meaning.
- [3:34 PM] Shoggocks: Use a dictionary then
- [3:34 PM] Shoggocks: Not even saying that to be an ass
- [3:34 PM] Shoggocks: Dictionaries are your friend
- [3:36 PM] Naju: Right, as if I would have a dictionary everytime I am reading something.
- Any person that is not really studying would not bother.
- What I am talking about is the deep words like "effluvial" which I have NEVER even seen.
- [3:36 PM] bob: well, you can't expand your vocab unless you put in the effort
- [3:37 PM] Shoggocks: Effluvial/Effluvium is a putrid or acrid odor due to sewage, more specifically, the pipings
- [3:38 PM] Shoggocks: It's that rancid smell like somebody died while wallowing in literal shit
- [3:42 PM] Shoggocks: Or conversely, just to be oh so funny, an open air shitting street
- [3:51 PM] Losenis: inb4 turgid
- [4:06 PM] Shoggocks: Give ur balls a tug you titfucker
- [5:48 PM] LDR: >Goalposts last seen leaving the stadium while set on fire by away team fans
- Effluvial is a funny example though since it's a really bad word for feeling. There's nothing sharp, hard or disgusting about the tone, using that for anything but it's literal purpose as provided by an intentionally pretencious fuck of a character would be weak.
- [5:59 PM] Shoggocks: Pls, LDR
- [6:02 PM] LDR: It's a very flowery light word like efflorescence for describing god damn rancid shit pipes. No one would do that naturally.
- [6:05 PM] bob: The stench was Cthulian
- [6:09 PM] SnowDrakE: an elder gods rectal smell would probably make lawns in several parallel dimensions wilt
- [6:10 PM] bob: An odor that cannot be bound by any one sense, a transcendent stink to offend all the senses and drive men mad
- [6:10 PM] SnowDrakE: the real reason for why the incantations are utter gibberish
- [6:11 PM] SnowDrakE: just as they were being written, one of the buggers let one rip
- [6:11 PM] SnowDrakE: and then you go from "Behold his majesty, for he is a thousandfoldly magnificent"
- [6:12 PM] SnowDrakE: to "Ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn."
- [6:12 PM] SnowDrakE: the pencil lead was melting while this was being written, hand clutched tightly and spasming all over the book
- [6:13 PM] SnowDrakE: a Cthulhu fart was probably even the reason Satan fell from heaven
- [6:14 PM] Naju: Your imagination is hilarious. Wtf
- [6:14 PM] SnowDrakE: he was probably all frolicky and shit, fluttering about the heavens while the others were in God's hermetically sealed halls of glory
- [6:14 PM] SnowDrakE: and he caught a whiff of the fhtagn
- [6:15 PM] SnowDrakE: cue feathers melting, lots of gagging and eyes turning yellow
- [6:15 PM] SnowDrakE: and presto, now we have some really angry ex-angel vowing to destroy all beings(edited)
- [6:16 PM] LDR: >Hell was flammable Cthulu gasses before the fall
- It checks out.
- [6:17 PM] SnowDrakE: all that said
- [6:17 PM] SnowDrakE: that's still not as bad as having a Matango as wife
- [6:17 PM] SnowDrakE: I hope all you mushroom porkers go where the stench crawled yonder
- [6:18 PM] Shoggocks: You fucking people trying to make me crash while driving
- [6:19 PM] Shoggocks: With the eldritch flatulenxe
- [6:19 PM] SnowDrakE: breathe Shoggy
- [6:19 PM] SnowDrakE: breathe deeply
- [6:19 PM] LDR: Mmm.
- [6:19 PM] SnowDrakE: on second thought, maybe take precautions first
- [6:19 PM] SnowDrakE: we don't need another Nurgle event happening
