dear friends,
it has recently come to my attention that, half the time, no one knows what the heck I'm saying. thus, I have compiled a short list of my most common foreign/archaic/made-up phrases and words for your reference, so that you never just have to nod and smile again. you're welcome.
THINGS I MIGHT SAY TO SAY 'HELLO'
ahoy, avast, bonjour & salut (french), hyvaa huomenta (finnish), hola (spanish)
OTHER RANDOM FOREIGN THINGS I MIGHT EXCLAIM
was ist das?='what is that?' (German); commonly used when javs does not comprehend something or doesn't wish to comprehend it due to horror, etc.
kiitos=thank you in Finnish; paljon kiitoksia=many thanks
anteeksi=you're welcome in Finnish
je ne sais pas!=I don't know in French
ja and jed and oui= yes in German, Finnish, and French, respectively
'ahey!' or 'wahey!'=random exclamations
tch=signals disdain or discontentment; often accompanied by '>>'. I say this in rl a lot. xD it's difficult to pronounce, though.
merr=can mean anything, but usually expresses some negative emotion, such as sadness, disappointment, exhaustion, sympathy, etc. sometimes used joyfully, though, or in anger, especially if folloewd by a '>_____>'. I abuse this one in real life. seriously. I say it every other word.
PEOPLE I MIGHT REFER TO
Nightwish=my very most favorite band in the world, producing outrageously beautiful and unique symphonic metal. they're from Finland, hence my obsession with the language. Tuomas is the keyboardist/lyricist/songwriter/founder/resident beautiful man in the band and the man I am destined to marry, thank you very much. I have a framed drawing of him in my room that I got for my birthday. I am not obsessed.
Blaise=a character of mine from my site, certamen nox. she is a vampire assassin. take cel's arrogance, aishe's tendency for violence and biting insults and general obnoxiousness. multiply all that by ten thousand and you'll be a bit closer to what blaise is.
Balthier & Vincent Valentine=characters in two of my favorite video games. if I start squealing about an awesome fran and balthier cosplay, it's this one.
B^2 is my welsh corgi/chihuahua mix, and my guard dog. his real name is buster brown.
NICKNAMES I HAVE FOR PEOPLE
Poe=Poetry
Blythe=Bunneh, Bun
Nina=Ninaface
MJ=Red
Yukino=Twinny
Hatterdasher=Fedora
Bubble=Sparklepop
Elsie=Eeyore or Olly Olly Oxenfree
Jenn=Tom or Hood, depending on the day
Rain=Raindeer
Seaheart=Oceansoul
Elyssa=Nessie, Ness, Nessarose
I definitely called someone Darcy, too, but now I can't remember who it was. WILL THE REAL DARCY PLEASE STAND UP
NOTES
--whenever I burst into song, there is a 50% chance that it's nightwish, and a 50% chance that it's some obscure song that no one's ever heard of, or that it was released before the year 2000
--whenever I burst into song and it's not one of the above, there is a 100% chance that it is a show tune
--this is a video displaying the handflaps that cel and fran most commonly use
if someone actually reads all this, I'm going to laugh forever. xD if you're still confused about something, ask away, and I'll add it to the dictionary here. this is dumb.
