Tell me some informal speech
on: April 25, 2005, 12:49:13 pm
The campaign Into the Halls of Valhalla is going to use informal English speech instead of formal military parlance. I need some English informal expressions you can offer to make the campaign better.

You might as well take a look into this thread. I collected some expressions which could be useful. If you have any comments on them, they are welcome.

No obscene words, please. I know enough of them, but I do not intend to use any through the campaign. It must remain PG-13. :)

Cussin' a plenty 'tis good.

I remember SOB being in DoP, so it's not entirely taboo.
Spoon - I stand in awe by your flawless fredding. Truely, never before have I witnessed such magnificant display of beamz.
Axem -  I don't know what I'll do with my life now. Maybe I'll become a Nun, or take up Macrame. But where ever I go... I will remember you!
Axem - Sorry to post again when I said I was leaving for good, but something was nagging me. I don't want to say it in a way that shames the campaign but I think we can all agree it is actually.. incomplete. It is missing... Voice Acting.
Quanto - I for one would love to lend my beautiful singing voice into this wholesome project.
Nuclear1 - I want a duet.
AndrewofDoom - Make it a trio!

This has reminded me of an excellent quote from Apocalypse.Now: "We train young men to drop fire on people. But their commanders won't allow them to write "****" on their airplanes because it's obscene!"

Bloody brilliant. :D

It is obscene enough that it is filtered on this board. I will write at most 'Son of a B.....' somewhere.

The filter on here is retarded, and should in no way be used as a standard to measure what is and isn’t inappropriate.

The question is, are you talking about British English slang or American English slang, or even Australian English?  There are some big differences in terms of slang, and I know one group often has no clue as to what the other is trying to say. :p

You want British speech?  Call everyone "mate".

Easy as that.  Especially if you deliver it with an 'ampshir accen' like mine.

Also, add the word "Like" alot, it seems to be appearing in the youngens speech alot so I would assume in a few hundred years every 2nd word will be like.  "I was, like, going to the shops."  It confuses me no end.

'Like' is old... it just depends what part of the country you are in.  I noticed it a LOT when I lived near Grimsby...
