The worst one has to be the use of the word trope as a euphemism for cliché.

Crom laughs at Jay Leno!
Jesus Fucking Christ, is this guy honestly that goddamned stupid? He can\'t understand the plot of a Star Wars film? We\'re not talking about "Rashomon" here, for fuck\'s sake. The plot is as linear as they come. If anything, the film tries too hard to fill in all the gaps. This guy must be a flaming retard.  --Mike Wong on Red Letter Moron\'s review of The Phantom Menace

Quote from: Simlasa;727904I think the elf 'class' in Dungeon Crawl Classics decides each day if he'll be a MU or Fighter... unless I read that bit wrong (no elves in the games I've run).

Huh? What are you referencing here?? Unless I'm doing it wrong, elves in DCC work the same as Elves in B/X D&D in the sense of having a mix of abilities.

I love that the "heroic outcast" hand sign is basically the jerking-off motion.
