TPF specific terms?????

[drewjax]

dont forget you must combine the first two into a seperate, but equally important, term!

SWAsomer ftw




also, maybe some more specific info about members (current/former) and what we sometimes call them.

i.e.

JD
Boobie Lover
eejit
etc.

Meh... I thought about that, but I don't think it's necessary. And would be too difficult to be comprehensive.

SWA has developed into a sort of adjective, but tends to be used only by those in the circle of first hand experience.

Screen-names cross over into the realm of bio's.

[Talking Poker]

It's a verb, obv.

You SWA your roll. You aren't a SWA player.

[Invigilator]

multifunction speech component then. Swa modifies awesomer to create swasomer. It can be both.

OW is a bit of an etymologist, so I'll have her look at the manner in which it tends to be used.

[Talking Poker]

It can also be a noun, obv.... like as in, he went SWA last night.

[Invigilator]

That sounds like and adverb. In this case SWA describes how he went.

Clearly, as a locally created piece of speech, this has developed a versatility that will only be restricted by the methods of common usage.

The F word functions in the same manner. It can be all forms of speech.

All we need to be clear on is "what" the use of swa ultimately indicates.

[Invigilator]

At the very least we are dealing with an adverbial. Just as the noun, "home" can function as an adverb, modifying the verb "went", as in the phrase "I went home", the above Swa modifies the verb went.

Fortunately, the glossary will not be identifying the part of speech that each entry belongs to. At the very least however, clarifying the meaning has brought our attention to the diversity of this unique piece of site specific dialogue. Truely, TPF-speak is a living, developing language.

My, this is exciting.
