Perhaps I'm biased because I have worked with linguists, and because I'm a fan of JRR Tolkien and I've read his letters including this one.
Yes, in the section on use by Nazis and White Supremacists.
It has a meaning which springs solely from made-up Nazi propaganda, and is used predominantly by contemporary White Supremacist groups (which may or may not be Nazi sympathizers, that's not a deciding factor here).
I got it immediately as well... I gots the brains that make the smart.
I'm scared you might win too.....do it, lol.
NTR?
Especially in a battle of wits.
and there's Pantheon's phase 4 of the Scion battle.
And yet upon seeing a swastika, no one and has the first thought of "Buddhist symbol of peace."
They're not. This is not how language propagates. The "Aryan Ideal" was something that was defined by Hitler. And then, it made its way into general language. Language understood by not only Nazis or White supremacists, but anyone who could figure out the intended meaning. You can't reverse that -- a descriptive word that had bad origins is still descriptive and will be used until a better replacement comes along.
Well, to be fair, I have never been a Buddhist, so that's not a peeve of mine. If that's your peeve, I wish you luck.
Not in my region, which happens to be the region where Worm takes place.
Theo talking like that would be totally understandable, and would certainly say something about his background.
And you're slipping.
Happened in canon, too. The Bitch-Sundancer interaction.
Usually when I say "maybe" it's either a plot spoiler and I won't say. Or because I honestly don't know the answer. I didn't know about the Riley/Missy/Theo triangle until two chapters or so before I wrote it.
Yeah, me too.
I actually plan to do such an omake of them peaking into canon Worm. The problem is, there's so few ways to make it *funny*, given just how dark canon actually gets.
Military guy: Wait, you won a land war in China?
Have them look into the Undersiders between the timeskip... Sadly that's the only thing that could be *fun*.
I can really only imagine Zach going on about how metal Taylor is.
My headcanon agrees with yours.
Ah, readers. They'll almost never catch the subtle hints you put into the water. But when it comes to the plot holes? They're like ravenous sharks.
Re: the canon way the GG/Crawler fight went, and the aftermath-
No, I just fucked up. Don't get me wrong- I'm glad you pointed it out so I could fix it- but this was my fuckup.
Really, Trevor? You're worried about something silly like that when you have Amelia and Riley on the team?
Anyone can. Completely disregarding the rest of the conversation (because, seriously, I don't give a damn whether people want to use words correct for common use or linguistic use), it's completely possible for anyone to rewrite English, or any other language, simply by being influential or popular enough that whatever terms they use become the norm. The denizens of the internet used 'Google it' often enough that it's now considered a word used for searching, in addition to the number if was derived from or a company name.
Regardless of whether or not you can write, at least you can put something together that you're happy enough with to show it off.
I found this hilarious because I completely failed to think of it that way myself...
I'm not sure whether or not this is a good ting or a bad thing. I'm thinking that Trevor is at least partially exaggerating but... if he's not, then there could be something wrong thanks to Taylia.
And Missy continues to fail to see how adorable she acts, despite not wanting to be treated as adorable.
Trevor: "ALL OF THEM!"
You appear to have left some stuff in. ...
Now Lisa has to reproduce, so that they can use this nickname. It's too cute to do otherwise.
Audrey Hepburn
Let's all take a moment of slow clapping.
Ravenous revenge-seeking sharks, who follow you to the Bahamas because of a voodoo curse.
Yeah, but the long-distance hologram call charges are insane. It's even worse when you factor in roaming.
