  • This reminds me of once when I was playing the original EverQuest. Someone named Dunn entered the zone and everyone there started OOC broadcasting anything from “Dunn!” to “Dun dun duuuuuuuun!” I was young and sheltered and didn’t get the reference; I messaged the guy something like “what was that all about?” and apparently he didn’t, either. Probably pretty fun to be that popular for thirty seconds for no known reason, though.

    You couldn’t construct a Chinese sentence with dual meanings? Maybe not this one, but any? I know literally no Chinese, so I can’t cite an example; but I thought completely unambiguous communication was why constructed languages like lojban exist.

    edit: In a question about grammar, I used redundant words, but I can’t think of a better replacement for “construct” in either case. I tried, though.
