I'm sure that there are many.

[Text forever~~] of_wild_clay August 21 2010, 22:04:12 UTC

It must be a very common practice then?

[:D text] turneverystone August 22 2010, 07:53:34 UTC

Particularly in colloquial speech, yes.

Re: [:D text] of_wild_clay August 24 2010, 05:04:15 UTC

That does make sense. It would be much more comfortable using simple or colorful words in everyday speech.

OH, OH! I know some words that are like that in English!

What about "dope" or "whack"?

of_wild_clay August 21 2010, 22:04:59 UTC

Dope? Whack?

[...]

My device says that those words mean someone with low intelligence and ...to hit someone? Do they mean something else as well?

fail_assassin August 24 2010, 00:40:32 UTC

It can do that?

Oh, yes. They do.

Um... [...] "Dope" is a word that can be used to describe how good something is, and "whack" can be used to describe how something is crazy or ridiculous.

Neat, huh? I've learned about these words watching TV!

of_wild_clay August 24 2010, 05:03:08 UTC

Well, when I write the words- the become words in my language. That is how I learn new words.

Whitney has told me of what whack means, but dope I am still trying to understand.

TV...yes! I know what that is. My brother has shown me before.

preferscute August 21 2010, 16:29:29 UTC

Yeah, yeah, you've totally got both of those right! There might be other words like that, but I like, can't think of any off the top of my head.

of_wild_clay August 21 2010, 22:06:09 UTC

Ah, Miss Whitney! I'm glad I understand those. Someone has mention the words 'dope' and 'whack'.

preferscute August 22 2010, 00:35:24 UTC

Those work, too, but like, they aren't used as much as hot and cool! Do you know what dope and whack mean?

of_wild_clay August 22 2010, 01:16:04 UTC

Well when I type them in this machine, I get words in my language that mean a person who is not very wise, and to hit something.

Not just English and Japanese.

Re: text of_wild_clay August 21 2010, 22:06:26 UTC

Those are the only names of language I know. Do you speak a different one?

text distantwater August 23 2010, 01:52:53 UTC

Those are the ones most people here speak. Yes. Chinese.

Re: text of_wild_clay August 24 2010, 05:05:26 UTC

Chinese? I do not know what that is. Does it sound like English or Japanese?

... You're thinkin' too hard.

[Text~] of_wild_clay August 22 2010, 02:14:58 UTC

Eh? I don't think so? How can someone think too hard?

[video] failhound August 22 2010, 02:16:54 UTC

By thinking about stuff that's dumb to think about?

[Text] of_wild_clay August 22 2010, 02:20:57 UTC

But it is something I do not understand. I've never had to speak like this before and I don't want to anger anyone by saying the wrong thing.
