I have a proposal for all of you.

It's come to my attention that certain vocabulary and slang are still yet unknown to a large portion of recruits; we're from many places, after all.
FROM: 11.november@cdc.org
TO: ALL
In an effort to help bridge this gap, I feel it might be beneficial to collectively educate ourselves on terminology that may not necessarily translate via the devices very well. You never know when such a thing may be useful on the field.
FROM: 11.november@cdc.org
TO: ALL
I'll go first: Bunny (n)– [1] see also Mr Barnaby Brooks Jr. [2] alternative nickname for Ajna-based life form, Madu. [3] a shorthand name for rabbit.
[[ooc: you all thought i forgot about the in-game urban dictionary idea, didn't you. i didn't.]]

We've got a bunch of slang sayings, though I haven't had much cause to use any yet.
FROM: vakarian.garrus@cdc.org

Krogan (n) - 1) anyone who is grumpy enough to charge through shit like a moron, 2) anyone who is big enough to charge through shit like a moron, 3) or both.
no subject
Somehow, I knew I could count on you to contribute. I'll have to hear how "Krogan" is used in a sentence for proper context, of course.

Simon taught me one in English the other day.
FROM: benjamin.jonathan@cdc.org
FUCK (n/v/adj/adv/literally anything): 1. intercourse, fornication; "To fuck - she fucks, he was fucked, they are fucking, let's fuck." 2. insult/curse/expletive; "fuck you, fuck this, what the fuck, fuck me running." 3. an undesireable state of being; "that's fucked up, we're all fucked." 4. an adjective or adverb used to emphasize; "what the fucking hell were you thinking when you bought that shirt?, i am going to use your fucking face to put out a fucking campfire."
[ tbh he already knew the equivalent of this in his own language, but its more fun doing it this way tbh ]
FROM: benjamin.jonathan@cdc.org
It's versatile. I'm a fan.
no subject
Ah yes, what a very good word. Try "bloody" as a language extender as well– it has about the same effect as fuck and is about as versatile.

This is payback because I said that you needed your beauty sleep, isn't it?

Mr Bunny, that would mean I was somehow offended or otherwise emotionally invested in your snarky comment. So of course, no. You were merely an easy target, my apologies.

Since this seems like a good place to ask something: do any of you know what a 'shota' is?
[it's been 4 months and he still doesn't fucking know. his library card ran out too 8( ]
no subject
That's actually a shortened version of a portmanteau Shotacon (Shotaro Complex) which means attraction to young boys.
FROM: chidori.kaname@cdc.org
If you're called a 'shota' that means someone called you an attractive young boy

Here I'll put down some things I've had to explain before.
FROM: chidori.kaname@cdc.org
Yaoi - niche genre of fiction aimed at girls about guys in homosexual relationships. Usually features "pretty men." See: Zelos Wilder, Yuri Lowell, Warriorhead (unconfirmed), Baroona (it's the face)
FROM: chidori.kaname@cdc.org
Bara - like yaoi, but instead of being aimed at girls it's aimed at dudes, and usually features buff men.
Yuri - niche genre of fiction about girls in homosexual relationships
FROM: chidori.kaname@cdc.org
My specialty is Japanese slang, though I know some American ones.
no subject
I appreciate you taking the time to define some of these obviously necessary pieces of slang.
FROM: 11.november@cdc.org
I'll help flesh out a few more.
FROM: 11.november@cdc.org
Tsundere (adj)– one who has a harsh exterior personality, but is actually soft and caring on the inside once the layers are peeled back. See: Dagger.
FROM: 11.november@cdc.org
Megane (adj)– [1] a character trope typified by having glasses. See: Mothership.
FROM: 11.november@cdc.org
I'm familiar with both Japanese and American, though most of my specialty lies in British colloquialisms.

Pull a Vakarian (v.) - any instance of sacrificing tact for the sake of perceived camaraderie. "I thought I'd finally found some measure of quiet, but my squadmate decided to pull a Vakarian."
FROM: krios.thane@cdc.org
Krogan (n.) - a battle-hardened, headstrong race whose history is unfortunately shaped by a great deal of conflict and oppression. Capable of regeneration and extremely difficult to incapacitate.
FROM: krios.thane@cdc.org
Asari (n.) - one of the oldest and most influential races in the galaxy, well-revered for their elegance and wisdom. Unfortunately, they are often stereotyped in less-than-savory manners.
FROM: krios.thane@cdc.org
Salarian (n.) - an amphibious race characterized by incredibly fast metabolic and neurological processes. As a result, most are extremely intelligent and have made great contributions to science.

no subject
Perceived? Says the one who keeps 'happening' to run into me. Yeah, sure, Krios, keep telling yourself that.
FROM: vakarian.garrus@cdc.org
I'm easy to avoid. I mean, turians aren't big on stealth or slipping away.

blighter/blighted (n/adj), 1. a person who is terrible or unpleasant; "i hope the blighter driving this rover meets the wrong end of a shai one day"
FROM: anders@cdc.org
2. something terrible or unpleasant; "the blighted comm device needs a longer word limit"

ive noticed it doesnt have the same punch here. context, i think. Blight with a capital B means something very specific where im from
FROM: anders@cdc.org
id explain that too but its kind of a downer
FROM: anders@cdc.org
nug-humper/nug-licker (n), someone who is stupid/lazy/dirty/annoying. my personal favorite dwarven slang
FROM: anders@cdc.org
a nug is like a madu, if madu were rabbit-pigs instead of rabbit-mice and about ten times uglier. dwarves eat them, orlesians make shoes out of them, the rest of us hope we dont have to look at them

làn (烂) — bad, gross. (ノಠ益ಠ)ノ Or annoying!

Also, people keep asking me what kaomoji mean! Σ(゜０゜) They're not really words, though...
no subject
Now this is quite useful. I believe the use of emotes adds an extra layer of helpfulness.
FROM: 11.november@cdc.org
Perhaps you could take a stab at defining "kaomoji" for those who don't know? It might lessen the questions.
