Never let it be said that I can’t evolve!
Before, when I would get a tell from a game stranger filled with gibberish, I’d respond, somewhat impatiently, with a “wtf?”
Just because I don’t understand doesn’t mean it’s gibberish! It could be a foreign language, eloquently written even!
Witness:
I can be sensitive to other cultures, even gibberish.
If there are lots of short words and lots of soft consonents, it’s probably Chinese.
Just yell gauyang-zengh de guyang (spelling uncertain, but it’s the internet so you don’t care.) at them. Means “Motherless goat of all motherless goats.”
Don’t do this because they speak a foreign language, do this because they’re on the internet and thus probably deserve nonsensical insults anyway.
Would it be culturally insensitive of me to yell “General Tso Chicken, plskthx”? Cuz I really like that.
And as you can see, I did wiki him, demonstrating my thirst for greater understanding. Bottom line, in the hands of the right cook, that chicken is damn good.
A re-post of a re-post, but I think it will server you as well as it does me.
