Elfen High 2 (OOC 8, Closed, Will it Hurt?)

[Tiltjuice]

Someone in Traveller's Cafe just said he joins rps solely to spam advertise his own rps...and then expected us to be interested in joining his stuff.

My brain hurt.

I saw this as well.

If not penguins, have some ice.

Wow...

Still smarter than NSG.

[The Tiger Kingdom]

Wow...

Hah! What wit! A perfect quote for the AQ thread, over in NSG!
OH WAIT

I was high when I made that thread.

And it used to be good. Why, back in my day, we had debate, dammit. And humour.

[Constaniana]

I....Jade is now Mrs. frizzle

No idea what you're talking about.

Such libel and slander.

Well, at least I can say he hasn't done that in Elementals yet.

Nowadays the autorickshaws have mini-temples inside them.

Because when you ride one, you want to pray.

[Nationstatelandsville]

No worries.

Tell me, Swith, do you also do the weird usage of "anymore" as a positive statement like Nat does?

Lord yes. It's just how we are in Pixburgh.

Yinz just don't know how bad it gets here. We call rubber bands "gum bands", our rose bushes have "jaggers" (and "jag off" doesn't mean what you think), we end our sentences with weird words n'at, we "worsh" our clothing, "rid up" our houses, an' god help us if the Mon and Yock ever totally froze. Speaking of that, be careful on our sidewalks in the winter, because they're slippy.

I've made a few video meme in my time. I'm very, very careful to ditch the Pittsburgese because it's really an annoying and confusing noise to anyone who isn't from here. I think we have Chicago and New York beat. Even Jersey can't compete.

And if all of that didn't scar your mind, consider that I'm a very petite 4'11" (on a good day) and still boom, "HEY, HOW YA DOO'N!" like a burly steelworker when I see people. Now ask Nate if he says "no" or "Naaooooo".

"No".

I deny thee, city of slag.

Still doesn't beat the Japanese hearses with Buddhist temples mounted on the back.

Debate? What is that?

[Nightkill the Emperor]

AQ is highly depressing.

[Nationstatelandsville]

AQ is highly depressing.

I am tempted to burn you in effigy for starting it.

Of course, I am almost always tempted to burn you. It's the effigy part that fluctuates.

It was good in concept.

So was the War on Terror.

AQ?

[Nationstatelandsville]

AQ?

Ankh Quata, our evil twins.

[Nightkill the Emperor]

AQ?

Ankh Quata, our evil twins.

They're the evil ones?

[Nationstatelandsville]

Ankh Quata, our evil twins.

They're the evil ones?

Marginally so, yes.

[Nightkill the Emperor]

Time to put NEI in a plot and do angel surgery.

"No".

I deny thee, city of slag.

You seem to make a general effort to use General American.

[Nationstatelandsville]

"No".

You seem to make a general effort to use General American.

It's not a conscious effort at all.

As I believe I have mentioned before, my classmates have mistaken me for English several times before. I have no idea why.

Actually, now that I think about it, most people on the paternal side of my family don't have any discernible accent.

My father speaks exactly the same way I do, as does his mother and his siblings. In contrast, my mother's father and mother both have very thick accents, as do her siblings, and my mother's peeks out at times.

What it could be is that my father and his family were Catholic - I do mean Catholic Catholic, and went to a local Catholic school. Perhaps they knocked it out of my grandmother?

My mother's family, meanwhile, was made by a steel worker from the ghetto. (A white person ghetto, but this was back when that was a thing.) They couldn't afford such education.

Entirely likely. Accent, education and class are quite tied together.
