I suppose it could be Dunning-Kruger. Still looking for the John-Cleese video, though.
@Cerberus you are funny man, and you get a funny star for that.
You should have misspolen a couple words to really deserve it, though.
 
Eek.
 
Also, Dunning-Kruger is technically five words, not one.
 
You see, since misspelling is my normal modus operandi, the lack of typos is actually "funny".
 
You are very good at explaining.
Some sense might even arise in the process. Some.
 
Eek again.
Hades forbid.
 
11:06 PM
Now stop channelling @marthaª already.
 
How was your night? Had any "soup"?
Oh, yes, that was her word.
 
In (un)related news, kalina never got you after all. Surprise, surprise, surprise, surprise.
@Cerberus actually I did. Borshch.
 
By the way, I wanted to ask you whether Germans used any diminutives or pet names for "euro"?
@RegDwigнt I am utterly shocked. She LOSES.
 
I had guests staying over last night, so now I can eat up whatever they have left.
 
@RegDwigнt I liked Borshch in Petersburg.
 
11:07 PM
@Cerberus I do not think so.
Like, really not. At all.
 
For example, people here say euri as a plural.
> 6 euri.
 
@Cerberus you have not tried borshch till you have tried my borshch. True story.
 
Yay!
> 6 eurootjes.
> 6 euries.
> 6 eurietjes.
And people even say e.
> 6 e.
 
@Cerberus What, your people are now Italian? I am missing major new world politics developments.
 
Almost.
It is jocular, but people actually say euri.
 
11:09 PM
I do hope they pronounce it Eh-oorri, with a rolling R.
 
Nope!
 
Well, high time they began.
 
À la Olandese.
 
Oori.
 
No, just euri.
 
11:10 PM
But is eu not oo?
 
Never!
 
Your spelling is almost as stupid as the Englishes'.
 
Oe is oo.
Boek = book.
 
That I know no thanks for nothing.
 
Alas.
 
11:10 PM
Voetbal.
 
Exactly!
Eur is just as in French.
 
You are so submissive to the French, just like the Englishes.
 
/ɜːro/
Yes.
But eu is only like that before r.
 
R messes with everything, but again you are copying it from the Englishes.
It does not mess with nothing in, oh I dunno Russian.
 
Otherwise it is like Scandinavian Ø.
It is nothing like English!
 
11:12 PM
Öre.
 
Yes, like long ö in German.
 
@Cerberus repetition of assertion proof does not equal.
 
There is not a single word in which English and Dutch pronounce eu the same way!
 
I wish we could drop this stupid intermediate means of communication and just converse in your stupid "language", but I must drink way more for that.
 
I'm sure you could.
 
11:13 PM
Kinderspeelplaats.
 
You have watched whatsisname, Ebeling or something, often enough.
That is correct!
 
Of course it is correct, I saw it in Vlieland.
 
Oh, you have been there?
Like all of Germany.
 
Oh come on.
Feb 3 at 17:17, by Cerberus
@RegDwigнt Haha, WTF, Vlieland?
Nov 22 '13 at 19:28, by Cerberus
I fell off a pony on Vlieland.
 
Is your memory so bad that you forget that I forget everything, even after all those 4 long years we have been together in this room?
 
11:15 PM
Anyway, on Vlieland I learned three words: Kinderspeelplaats, terug, and Het Huis.
Which was the name of some restaurant there.
 
There you go with your single-word trolling.
 
NOU.
I would totally write Kinder Speel Plaats. It's you who's merging things.
 
We don't have spaces inside words! Dutch is a real language, unlike English.
 
Amen to that.
 
cross SWR sign
 
11:17 PM
Your syntax and punctuation leave room for interpretation, and also desire of much.
 
Pah.
At least we have no silly marks on our vowels!
 
They are just hidden behind all the diphtongs.
 
And We Don't Feel We're So Imporant We Need Capitals On Every Frikking Word.
 
Who the hell leaves J as a silly mark on an I? You do, that's who.
 
What?
We have the letter ij, capitalised as IJ.
 
11:19 PM
Jul 4 at 23:06, by RegDwigнt
Ijijij, verpoorten.
 
So random.
 
Do you not have commercials for Verpoorten?
What do they say instead?
Not sure what Ei is in Dutch, come to think of it.
 
What is Verpoorten?
 
Oh. Ei.
 
My Dutch teacher's name was Verpoorten. After she had married her wife.
 
11:21 PM
@Cerberus Eierlikör. And going by the name I thought it was Dutch?
 
@RegDwigнt You're sooooo smart.
@RegDwigнt It sounds Dutch, but what the hell is eierlikeur? Sounds gross?
 
Ohh is that advocaat?
 
@Cerberus eierlikör is the beverage of choice of all vrowen in Germany. All vrowen. Every single one.
@Cerberus yeah.
 
Haha.
 
11:22 PM
Actually we have a couple bottles here.
My wife likes it.
 
Awesome commercial.
It is rather old fashioned.
I think my parents sometimes drank it in the eighties.
We always call it simply advocaat, never heard of the brand.
 
There used to be tons of them on German television, all saying, or actually singing "ei ei ei verpoorten" at the end, as the trademark tune.
 
Smooth.
 
Sort of the opposite, actually. Very dickflüssig.
You could hammer a nail into it.
 
Danach werden Frauen ganz hmm, lass ich mir sagen.
 
11:24 PM
Yeah. Totally.
The first commercial that does not lie.
 
Was ist das hmm?
 
I can only submit it's a euphemism for wild sex.
 
I hab's nicht verstehen können.
 
I didn't even listen properly.
 
I feared as much.
But I couldn't make out the word.
Maybe gewillig?
 
11:25 PM
Ah, willig.
 
Or is that only Dutch?
 
Willing.
 
Right, that's gewillig in Dutch.
 
"After it vrowen become willing, I've been told."
 
Vrouwen.
 
11:26 PM
See, stupid diphtongs again.
QED and all.
 
Au is also a diphthong in German...
 
It's not like you couldn't write it vrowen. Or Frauen. Alas, you are all special, la dee da.
 
And au and ou sound exactly the same in Dutch.
No, no, vrowen would sound very different.
 
@Cerberus you are right, yours is like a triphtong, then.
 
Vrouen, it would have to be.
 
11:27 PM
@Cerberus not if you agree to write it that way.
 
@RegDwigнt Not really. The w adds nothing to the pronunciation.
 
@Cerberus that would get you sued for copyright infringement by the French.
@Cerberus whatever. All I'm saying, you're using three where two will do.
 
We only have a couple of Napoleonic laws any more...
Nieuw.
 
Exactly. High time you got invaded to get some more.
 
Eeuw.
 
11:28 PM
Nonono, you mean eeeeeuw.
 
Haha.
 
I don't have a trema for an E, sorry.
 
If zeeëeeuw made sense semantically, it would be a valid word.
 
Never stopped you before.
 
Properly formed.
Haha tsk.
 
11:30 PM
Whatcha call a Seekuh?
Zeekoeien (Sirenia) zijn een kleine orde van plantenetende, in zee levende zoogdieren. Ze worden tot de Afrotheria gerekend en zijn daarbinnen het nauwste verwant aan de slurfdieren. Naast de walvissen en de zeeroofdieren zijn de zeekoeien de derde grotere groep zeezoogdieren. Anders dan zeeroofdieren hebben ze geen geschikte ledematen om zich op het land voort te bewegen en in tegenstelling tot walvissen houden ze zich steeds in de buurt van de kust of zelfs in zoet water op. De orde van Sirenia omvat binnen twee (nog) levende families, de Dugongidae (Doejongs) en de Trichechidae (Lamantijnen...
See. More useless vowels.
But they are sweet whichever way you misspell them.
 
Ding!
 
Anyway, I haven't been drinking for minutes, so I have to take part with you for about as many.
 
Just because we already use u to stand for /y/. We have no single letter for /u/.
Take part with me?
 
More failures. Gigantic failures. Total failures.
 
Part with me is less fun, but that's probably what you typoed into oblivion.
 
11:32 PM
I mean many things when the day is long.
 
Yeah, that.
 
I also typouewe them a lot.
 
Only two e's, and none consecutively?
 
I did tell you I stopped drinking!
 
I've only drunk three beers tonight.
 
11:33 PM
See how afwul it has become? I must be off.
 
Viel Spaß!
Or should that be, vielen Spaß?
 
@Cerberus So it probably was a 1536 and a 768.
 
@Alraxite I think so.
 
Very good.
 
Or maybe only a 384...
 
11:35 PM
You'll need three 384's.
You get about 60k from 1536.
 
@Cerberus also you are wrong. One of the Es is totally consecutive.
Come to think of it, each of them is. Just not both.
 
@Alraxite Right. Three 384 would be too much!
@RegDwigнt More like executive.
 
If it weren't for those pesky random high tiles, 3072 would be easy.
 
In fact, all letters in all my words are consecutive. I am pro like that.
 
But I will admit that sometimes these tiles have expedited my reaching 768.
But more often they have expedited my losing.
 
11:43 PM
Same here.
@RegDwigнt And all cities are in a row?
 
I wonder what seen x ago means.
Does it mean when our computer last responded when the server sent it a signal?
 
Last activity?
Probably something like that, yes.
 
Then it only tells us whether the person has the chat open in their browser.
Nothing more.
 
If the tab is not active, then perhaps there is no interaction with the server?
 
What is an inactive tab?
A tab which you've not done any activity on for a sufficiently long period?
In that case, no.
Because almost everyone's seen is usually less than 2 minutes.
Unless they decide to leave. In which case their avatars fly away after about 10-15 minutes.
I'm going to predict that RegDwigнt's avatar is going to disappear soon.
Since he was seen 13 minutes ago.
Which means he closed this chat's tab without clicking on the leave link below the room's description.
The 10-15 minute range might not be completely accurate.
 
11:58 PM
This one?
