Lately, I've been considering language barriers. Now, I'm not talking about the whole earworm thing. Works great. What I mean is that, what you think 'alien' is, someone else has a different definition of. You think 'gross exaggeration of punishment,' someone else says 'discipline.'. Yesterday, I ran into an alien who thought 'pizza' was some sort of torture device. To-may-to, to-mah-to.
Now, given that we all use whatever words we want thoughtlessly, ways to avoid general mistranslations?
Also, quit fucking cheating at the crab races. I see you. Just because I wear a mask with blacked-out eyeholes doesn't mean my eyes don't work.
And while I'm at it, anyone want seared crab legs? Cheap and delicious.
