Clan Speak
« on: 18 October 2011, 19:07:49 »
Someone has just asked me about a Clan term and I'm not even sure if it's a real word or a misprint from the book he was reading. Maybe now would be a good time to list know Clan lingo, Quiaff?

Aff. Hopefully they know that Clans also do not use contractions.

Most Clan sourcebooks have a section in the back dedicated to Clan terminology and the like. I'd spend the ten dollars on The Golden Century and check it out ;)

I'm not sure how long you've been around on the forums, though you have a thousand posts. Never take anything JKlantern says seriously unless it's about food.

Yes! Now that the Clans are distracted with that archaic song we can sneak in and finally put an end to them.  ;D

Good idea.  The Clans really need a new goal.

Given the level of discussion in here, I've moved the thread somewhere more appropriate.

Thanks Rooster, this would have been useful last year ;D Turns out the the supposed Clan term my friend was inquiring to was a typo.

You owe me some cleaner for my screen.  I read this and burst out laughing like an idiot.  My side might need stitches as well.
