32 what????
 
@Deusovi ever seen a sign up sheet with male □ female□ other□?
 
9:25 PM
yeah no idea on 32 hehe
 
that's not what bisexual means
 
@Mithrandir that's ... not what bisexual means though?
 
@Mithrandir That's.... not what bisexual means
 
@Mithrandir A bisexual is still (usually) either male or female...
 
I know
 
9:26 PM
bisexual means "attracted to both males and females"
 
It is also an umbrella term for those extending beyond those two boxes
 
is it? I've heard "pansexual" for that
 
32 was BILBY
 
i've heard omni-
what on earth is BILBY
 
Yes, well, "pan" being one of the child-terms
"bi" being more easily recognized and simpler to explain to those not accepting of the multiple-gender thing
 
9:27 PM
Hah bilby (I think it's an Aus thing)
 
(I know because I use it this way)
 
you know how the Easter bilby comes and brings colourful eggs
 
yeah there's no Easter bilby round these parts.
We have us a good ol' fashioned Easter Bunny thankyouverymuch
 
I've only ever heard of the Easter Bunny...
 
never heard of easter bilby
 
9:29 PM
Sp3000 defending: P
 
(ah, alright! my mistake, then. I thought "bisexual" meant "restricted to people who fit the gender binary" (or more likely, never having regarded nonbinary people when deciding on the word to use). thanks for the heads-up!)
 
Bi is a term frought with disagreement on many sides...
 
in any case, I'm pretty sure nobody uses it to mean "nonbinary", Mith
 
Rabbits are illegal here so if the Easter bunny ever came we'd have to arrest it :(
 
9:30 PM
@as4s4hetic wait, really?
 
@Deusovi hmm
1: the other geminus
 
(someone else is gonna have to come up with the good clues. I don't think I can get past Sp)

69 dies; PERSEUS
 
 
not much else at PERJ
 
Rubio contacting a Danganronpa clue, what universe is this
 
9:52 PM
well, that's why I gave the second half of the clue
 
@Mithrandir so i knew perseus, but why 69 + happy ending?? XD
 
Yeah not much else at PERJ :P
 
oh, I was about to clue the word. I just assumed.
 
4 was PERSEPOLIS
 
(how far are you in the game, Sp?)
 
9:53 PM
2 was PERISH
 
(I'm partway through chapter 5)
 
(in the bonus modes)
 
I assume perjury was DH?
 
Yeah PERJURY was the word
 
yeah
it had to be
 
9:54 PM
@feelinferrety number was random (changed it from 6 cause of snap), he's the only hero who survives in Greek mythology :p
 
I got delayed by UDG, but the game is still going to be there next week so no worries :)
 
9 was peregrine?
 
(What was 13 btw?)
 
first of all, no other words I can think of; second, it's a Danganronpa thing (which Sp, ffao, and I have been playing recently)
it was, and 13 was PERAMBULATING?
 
13 was pe... ^
 
9:55 PM
( or ...-ORY?)
 
Ah. Tricky :P
 
it started as ory, then became ing when I clued it
 
i called that too
guess i have to figure out what this game is and play it now
 
so "with no wings" - valid? hehe
 
9:57 PM
Seems fine to me
 
dunno. not entirely happy with it, but I'm hesitant to call it invalid
what worries me more is "to style one's hair"
is "perm" a verb?
 
oh. heh
to was supposed to be a connector, and I got it backwards w/o thinking about it
but yes, perm is definitely a verb
so it works anyway
Perm [..]
v 1: give a permanent wave to; "She perms her hair"
and afk a bit
@Deusovi you're up if you care to defend
 
I should probably be doing homework right now
instead I'm semi-doing homework
so, can't defend
