Say I want to say something is 'awesome' or 'cool' or 'wicked fuckin' tubular, amos' IG. What mannerisms do you personally use when you do this?
Discussing other slang in this thread would be a cool thing to do also.

Some of the off the cuff shit our players come up with beats the hell out of the docs, just saying.

Honestly, I kind of lament the days of none of this shit being codified, but I don't think it's possible to go back to that point. I would still stress creativity over anything 'generic' that winds up being used, and I kind of like it when things evolve organically and just become used by people ("Walk in his shadow," "small/large stack," "shade and profit").
I worry that as more and more things become documented and discussed and arbitrarily agreed upon, we wind up with an artificial environment that will no longer seem as genuine and 'real' as this one has. Armageddon's existed for *years*, and everything's just grown over time. Switching to this new GDB (though I suppose, at this point, it's no longer that 'new') has caused a lot of acceleration in Zalanthan culture and how we act and perceive it. But there's.. really something to be said for having everything just develop rather than be decided upon.
Not to derail, but I think that's one of the reasons I'm not really a fan of New Tuluk (though everyone else seems to've taken to it readily) -- the caste tattoos and things just grew out of nowhere. This is also my deepest, strongest fear about 2.Arm.
