Why do some of you use make-a-layman-scratch-head kinda words?

  • Thread starter blank.black
  • Start date
In summary, the conversation discusses the use of high/strong vocabulary words in everyday settings and whether or not it is appropriate or necessary. The speakers mention that the social relationship with the person they are speaking to determines the words they use, and that using "strong" terms can be appealing because they have a clear meaning. They also give examples of using technical terms in public and adjusting their language when someone doesn't understand. Some speakers express concern about being misunderstood or using language that is too complex for others to understand.

Evo was referring to a troblin, a hybrid breeding between a male troll and a female goblin. These are far more rare than the groll, a hybrid between a male goblin and a female troll because of the propensity for the male troll to maim the female goblin in the mating process

Isn't that like saying that a quarter-horse is more closely related to a mule than it is to a Clydesdale?

WHOOSH.

Danger, Danger, Danger. :biggrin:

How can troll posts be recognised?

Missing The Point - Trolls rarely answer a direct question - they cannot, if asked to justify their twaddle - so they develop a fine line in missing the point.

Guess again, starts with a "t", not as intelligent as an orc.
Troll sat alone on his seat of stone
And munched and mumbled a bare old bone.
For many a year he had gnawed it near,
For meat was hard to come by.
Done by! Gum by!
In a cave in the hills he dwelt alone
And meat was hard to come by.

But I digress ... thread locked.
