I read Bastard Tongues by Deriek Bickerson while camping. The book is about the world “lowest” languages. Good book BTW.
It made the point that the Creole tongue of slaves seemed simple, but it took a clever person to use a language that was limiting in its form.
This lead me to suggest to the wife we speak only in words of three letters or less.
I struggled to get a campfire going after a rain. When I got it to be giving off heat I wanted to convey the fact to the wife. “Fires going good now” was not allowed in this game so I said “Hot big now” after thinking for a minute. Her responce came in seconds “You the man”. Score one for the wife.
How about it, can you say what you want to say in this thread using words of three or less letters?
( no TLA or other abbreviations)

I remember, years ago, in Games Magazine, they had a contest in which people submitted short stories using only three-letter words. The winner wrote about Our Man Ron (Old Ray Gun), and his battle against Bad Tip. Funny in a 1980s sort of way.
