Speak to me using English

The Game Room
1

It can be an English quote, an English saying, random words strung together from Webster’s dictionary, something you learned in second grade, a conversation you had with your mom yesterday, or just a nice “hello, how are you?”

I’d have included options for Mandarin, Hindi, Arabic, Bengali, Russian, Japanese, Punjabi, German, Javanese, Wu, Malay, Telugu, Vietnamese, Korean, French, Marathi, Tamil, Urdu, Turkish, Italian, Cantonese, Thai, Gujarati, Jin, Min Nan, Persian, Polish, Pashto, Kannada, Xiang, Malayalam, Sundanese, Hausa, Oriya, Burmes, Hakka, Ukrainian, Bhojpuri, Tagalog, Yoruba, Maithili, Uzbek, Sindhi, Amharic, Fula, Romanian, Oromo, Igbo, Azerbaijani, Awadhi, Gan Chinese, Cebuano, Dutch, Kurdish, Serbo-Croatian, Malagasy, Saraiki, Nepali, Sinhalese, Chittagonian, Zhuang, Khmer, Turkmen, Assamese, Madurese, Somali, Marwari, Magahi, Haryanvi, Hungarian, Chhattisgarhi, Greek, Chewa, Deccan, Akan, Kazakh, Min Bei, Sylheti, Zulu, Czech, Kinyarwanda, Dhundhari, Haitian Creole, Min Dong, Ilokano, Quechua, Kirundi, Swedish, Hmong, Shona, Uyghur, Hiligaynon, Mossi, Xhosa, Belarusian, Balochi, and Konkani but I don’t know those languages.

I do know Spanish and Hebrew but it’s still against board policy to start talking in foreign languages.

But go ahead and talk in English to your heart’s content. It’ll be a fun game! You can sing a song. Or type a song. Or recite a poem. Which is basically a song but without music.

You can even, if you’re so daring, speak to me in Simpsons quotes, Whedon-Verse quotes, Archer quotes, movie quotes, Big Bang theory quotes, Seinfeld quotes, Drew’s line quotes, Doctor Who quotes, Video Game quotes, Straight Dope message board quotes and Internet ad quotes, but I guess you shouldn’t as they all have dedicated threads already.

No. This is just for speaking to me in English. Let’s see how many English words and phrases and sentences we can compile in one thread! Won’t it be fun!?

2

You’re irritated about something; I can tell.

3

I can haz cheezburger! What was the best song off of REM’s Green? Name 100 characters from The Simpsons!

(Past examples of thread crazes which mercifully passed.)

4

Yeah, I don’t open those threads.

5

:dubious:

6

Do smileys count as English?

7

I’d say the Wally one does, except it no longer exists and the term itself is Yiddish.

I must confess to being slightly irritated by those threads as well, but not enough to post about them - until now, of course. Unfortunately for any fans of those threads who happen to wander in here, we’re not exactly showing a great deal of content either (though some of the previous posts have already been amusing, I suppose).

Tell me, O Octopus, I begs.
Is those things arms
Or is they Legs?
I marvel at thee, Octopus.
If I were thou, I’d call me Us.
– Ogden Nash

Whan that Aprill, with his shoures soote
The droghte of March hath perced to the roote
And bathed every veyne in swich licour,
Of which vertu engendred is the flour;
Whan Zephirus eek with his sweete breeth
Inspired hath in every holt and heeth
The tendre croppes, and the yonge sonne
Hath in the Ram his halfe cours yronne,
And smale foweles maken melodye,
That slepen al the nyght with open eye-
(So priketh hem Nature in hir corages);
Thanne longen folk to goon on pilgrimages
And palmeres for to seken straunge strondes
To ferne halwes, kowthe in sondry londes;
And specially from every shires ende
Of Engelond, to Caunterbury they wende,
The hooly blisful martir for to seke
That hem hath holpen, whan that they were seeke.

– Geoffrey Chaucer

17

Which one is man with beard?

18

I applaud the OP. Those threads have run their course.

19

Ralph is far wiser than you think. “Unpossible” is a real word that was even used by Shakespeare.

Speak to me in pouty, passive-aggressive OPs.
