Game Forum / Role Playing Games / EverQuest / April 2004Please don't use the word "Livid' if you are mad about something, don't disguise it, say you are "Pissed off"
Too many times lately I've heard wimpy asswipes saying "I'm Livid about this situation!" And my response has been "Ummmmmm, Ok, does that mean you are Mad about it? or are you just really pissed off?" Excuse the frick out of me but if you are mad about something, you'll do much better by saying it. Say what you mean, Puh-f.cking-leeeez. the word "Livid" is some f.cked up fake-assed way to say you are pissed off about something but are afraid of pissing off the person that you are pissed off with because you are too damn scared that they might turn around and be pissed off at . .

YOU! There are some people out there that have a vocabulay that can express thoughts and feelings without resorting to swearing. Does not mean they can't; just that they have the flexibility to tailor conversation for the target audience. Then again, a dumb c.nt fuckwit of a troll like you couldn't possibly understand that. Now piss off you little sh.t. >> Excuse the frick out of me but if you are mad about something, >> you'll do much better by saying it.

Livid is a very cool word. Etymology: French livide, from Latin lividus, from livEre to be blue; akin to Welsh lliw color and probably to Russian sliva plum I like the image of being blue with rage. Very descriptive. Like a Celtic warrior, bedecked in his battle woad. And spelled backward, it's one close vowel away from being 'devil'. I'm as pissed as a backward devil! Add to that that it has all the energy of the 'live' sound at the front. It's an active word, it's going places, it's striking out at what angers it. It isn't just marking its territory, like 'pissed off'. If you're pissed off, go ahead and say you're pissed off. But I reserve the right to be livid, if that's how I feel. Some days I'm enraged, or ired, or irked, or peeved, or angered, or steamed. And sometimes, I'm pissed off, too. But the full spectrum of my possible disgruntlednesees would be incomplete without lividity. [65 Coercer] Zinphandel Chianti <Prism> (Gnome) Ayonae Ro Hmmm.... One would think "livid" would be derived from "liver" or some RED object. I associate it with being so angry I am red in the face like the character that got so angry he blew himself up in "Big Trouble in Little China". Blue - revenge is best served up cold - so is anger but most of us can't achieve that state. > Etymology: French livide, from Latin lividus, from livEre to be blue; akin > to Welsh lliw color and probably to Russian sliva plum [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > > [65 Coercer] Zinphandel Chianti <Prism> (Gnome) Ayonae Ro > If you're pissed off, go ahead and say you're pissed off.

Maybe an American novel or film or something... I always took it to mean someone was getting so stressed over something that the frustration was building tighter and tighter, like a nut being tightened with a spanner.

To me 'torqued off' is what happens when you tighten a nut to too high a torque. The stud breaks. The way you feel, holding a broken half a stud with a nut on it, and knowing you're now gonna have to get screw extractors and spend an hour trying to pull the other half of the stud out of the engine? That's torqued off. But when I'm merely extremely angry about something, I usually spell it 'torked off', for no particular reason.

The original adventure game was an incorrect usage . Grue is not a creature type its a disgusting substance type. Basically a good definition would be rotted meat and body parts. Is still in common usage in its children words like gruesome (some is like , so is like grue) . Or gruel ... Think offal would be the next closest word. > > It is pitch black.

The original adventure game didn't include the word "grue". That line comes from Zork, which was directly inspired by the original (Colossal Cave) adventure game. -- Don. --------------------------------------------------------------------- -- Sukrasisx, Monk 30 on E.

OK, so I had a bad experience with someone using the word way too much and they didn't know what it meant so te context was . . . very sad. Very very sad.
