Well, except for that Mr. Massacre chick. She's kinda weird looking.

Yes, at times.

But sometimes it's just a smelly butt.

In the forum the filters come and go, talking of Michaelangelo.

Wait, let me rephrase that.

I'm not supposed to be influenced by things like that.

Wow, and a 10 out of 10 possible points from the tough Russian judge.   :-o

Well then, that's worth a Coolio Point for the new person in my book.

The intro post commences with a disarming greeting, rendered playfully humorous with the application of a familiar Cockney idiom and accompanied by the classic Smiley. Wasting not a byte of bandwidth, the post delivers a swift series of pertinent bits of information, establishing 3 key points: a) the poster is familiar with forum environments; b) the poster took the time to research Teh Gheekery OMFGLOL forum before joining; and c) the poster understands and finds affinity with the general culture of Teh Gheekery OMFetc. While not a slave to rigid form and grammar, the post is nonetheless coherent, employs punctuation in a logical and consistent manner, and honors the Shift key. Some may find fault in a perceived lack of originality, and perhaps also note the two missing apostrophes toward the end of the performance, but I submit that a post such as this, which does not insult the reader and can be read without a Moron-to-English dictionary, is pretty damn original these days; Im overlooking the apostrophes. The post was pleasant to read from the very first word, achieves a lively internal cadence and culminates in a perfect dismount with a stuck landing.

10 out of motherfucking 10.

So this guy goes to the doctor, and the doctor tells him, "You have to stop masturbating." And the guy says, "Stop masturbating? Why do I have to stop masturbating?" And the doctor says, "So I can examine you."

Oh.

Well, dang -- there go my next two questions.

2. How old are you?
3. What is your gender?
4. What is your quest?
5. What is the air-speed velocity of an unladen swallow?

Yes, you did, but maybe Jadzia doesn't know what a forum filter is.

Jadzia, most forum software allow certain words to be blocked or changed by things called "filters". Normally, filters are used to filter out obscenities or slurs. However, here at TEH GHEEKERY OMFGLOL, filters are sometimes used to alter perfectly ordinary words for the purposes of achieving a humorous effect, in the hopes of eliciting an occasional "LOL", "*snerk*", or even "ha ha".

HTH

I did not mean to type "couch forts", but for some reason "comp-uters" is auto-changed to "couch forts" if I don't put the hyphen in. Can anyone tell me why that is?

Yes, I can.

Hey, waitaminute....

Hey Jadzia! Did you type "couch fort" on purpose?

Oh, well.

Want me to remove the filter?

It was funny at the time.

Wait, I have an idea...  :w:

Oh.

I would think that it was similar to learning Sindarin and requires some pronunciation guide (no doubt included in those books). I'm sure, as in the case of learning Klingon or Vulcan, there are actual dialects between groups of fans, which argue how certain things should be said.

Edit because I hit 'enter' and it posted: Eh, the point is, if even you did find someone, it's a fictional language and fans will disagree about how you say it. Learn it from a book and wave your geek flag proudly.

Those were my thoughts too. Including "ha ha he made it sound like people from Denmark speak this fake language."

Anyway, I chromed it and found this in like 2 seconds: http://www.learnnavi.org/downloads/

That's how I came up with Hangham oe wok!, which is something like "laugh I loudly", which was as close as I could get.

And I didn't even see the movie.

Oh, and you were right. There is, of course, no consensus on this language, because it's still being invented. See the disclaimer at the top of the page I linked:

NOTE: Since the Na'vi language is still being developed by Dr. Frommer and the LearnNavi community, please do NOT distribute misinformation from unattested sources. Confusion can result from incorrect or conflicting data being released.
