Solid Dragon, £60. That is the entire text of an advert on my town’s Facebook ‘for sale’ group. No picture. Would anyone care to provide a translation? ---

Someone is selling an upstanding member of the dragon community for £60. ---

It is almost Easter. Maybe a large solid chocolate Easter dragon? ---

The most direct interpretation would be that it’s a dragon statue which isn’t hollow, which is on sale for the price of 60 quid. Of course, if this is correct, then the ad-placer is horribly incompetent, because it omits a lot of important information, like how big the statue is and what it’s made of. Does it least have any contact information? Alternately, it’s also possible that it’s a coded message whose real meaning has nothing to do with dragons, and might not even have anything to do with pounds sterling. If this is the case, then nobody but the intended recipient has any hope of figuring out what it’s supposed to mean, at least without having a whole bunch of other examples of use of the code. ---

Maybe I should message him and see if he has any liquid or gaseous dragons. That might clear it up. ---

Solid Snake’s brother is an extremely cheap mercenary. ---

Just googled it and you’ll be happy to know this thread is #6 for “Solid Dragon”. The others refer to something dealing with World of Warcraft, which makes sense, but I’d be curious to know what it was. ---

Yes gaseous emissions and fire-breathing could cause serious injury. ---

Perhaps it is a some sort of drug slang? “Chasing the dragon? I have some, 60 quid.” ---
