Bughwuch Cartographer Member # 1851	written Saturday, February 17 2007 11:35 Profile Homepage #27 I'd like having my own subgeneration... Actually, it's just after all the times there've been topics like these and analyses and everything, I'm a little annoyed that none of the definitions never seem to apply quite directly to me. And I swear I was there when Misc. was still around. I just never actually, you know, went to see the topics. Or General either, for that matter. I was a scared little thing back then. :\ -------------------- "I'm not crazy!" "Well, whatever.

Well, for many of us, that's probably accurate. There's a reason we don't have one concise definition of -bies and of "generations" and can easily put everyone where they belong: it's pretty much impossible, since everyone has different perceptions. Ephesos thinks he's an oldbie (or at least oldbish enough), but not everyone thinks so. I think I know who TM is, but Kelandon thinks I don't. As the definitions get more detailed, more people feel excluded. Dikiyoba. Posts: 4346 \| Registered: Friday, December 23 2005 08:00

Dikiyoba Councilor Member # 6600	written Saturday, February 17 2007 23:19 Profile Homepage #38 All right, fine. You're right and I'm wrong. My initial post on the subject was supposed to illustrate oddity (for that one particular example) of lumping me, having seen many (not most, mind you) of TM's posts, with even newer arrivals, who haven't seen many at all. But I suppose we all look equally ignorant from the other side of that generation gap. Now Dikiyoba is off to draw crayon artwork on the walls, throw tantrums in the store if Dikiyoba doesn't get candy, and have frequent nap times.

Student of Trinity Electric Sheep One Member # 3431	written Sunday, February 18 2007 04:47 Profile #40 Isn't it actually a Dutch word, Thralni? The German is Dreck, which is how the word is sometimes also spelled in English. Anyway, I believe it's just a loan word from either other language, originally used in English as a sort of genteel euphemism. -------------------- We're not doing cool. We're doing pretty.
