swestrupSo, if everyone wore clothes, you would too?
Anyway
The localisation meme. AKA, what word do you use?
1. A body of water, smaller than a river, contained within relatively narrow banks?
A Spooble, or if there are more than one a squelch of spoobles. Although its unusual to see more than one at a time except during mating season. Most spoobles are friendly and nonagressive, happily burbling at you in their simple but beautiful language. But a word of caution to tourists: they are apt to get riled up if you make any attempt to drink them. In fact, they have been known to attack at the very sight of a packet of snarg-drink flavor crystals.
2. What the thing you push around the grocery store?
Usually its a buttered yak, but some folks prefer a well-lubricated monkey on a stick.
3. A metal container to carry a meal in?
A Neutron Inversion Cabinet.
4. The thing that you cook bacon and eggs in/on?
This is unclear. If its IN then its windex. If its ON, then its a radar gun.
5. The piece of furniture that seats three people?
Well, if they're friendly, its an implosion bench, otherwise its just a bun rack.
6. The device on the outside of the house that carries rain off the roof?
Most call it a paramagnetic mass driver, but some folks call them sploosh guns.
7. The covered area outside a house where people sit in the evening?
Normally is the Boiling Mud Vats, but if folks are feeling frisky they may actually refer to them as the Breeding Pits.
8. Carbonated, sweetened, non-alcoholic beverages?
Plurdled Freld. Or plurdle-free freld if you're one of those "don't plurdle sentient beings" nuts.
9. A flat, round breakfast food served with syrup?
Hubcaps.
10. A long sandwich designed to be a whole meal in itself?
Hmmm. An Ophidian Loaf. Dang, this quiz is making me hungry.
11. The piece of clothing worn by men at the beach?
Powered Battle Snorkel.
12. Shoes worn for sports?
Grav Boots.
13. Putting a room in order?
Furniture Stacking.
14. A flying insect that glows in the dark?
If your lucky, its just a Laserfly. Plasmaflies are another matter...
15. The little insect that curls up into a ball?
Ricochet Roach. Sometimes ping-pong bug.
16. The children's playground equipment where one kid sits on one side and goes up while the other sits on the other side and goes down?
Ooh, a pair of Inflator/Deflator booths. I used to love playing on those things.
17. How do you eat your pizza?
Spirally from the center outwards.
18. What's it called when private citizens put up signs and sell their used stuff?
a tissue exchange.
19. What's the evening meal?
Bogrel Crystals. None of this new fangled stuff! If the Inflictor had meant us to eat something else at skydown he wouldn't have made the Bogrels condense then.
20. The thing under a house where the furnace and perhaps a rec room are?
The Dracolisk pens.
There, now wasn't THAT nice and futile?
