We're going to build our vocabulary. Woo.
How to participate:
Use a dictionary (or an online word generator) and turn to/generate a random word. Post the word, its pronunciation, the part of speech, its definition, and maybe an example sentence. This is for the sake of broadening our vocabulary and strengthening the quality of our writing. You'll probably end up forgetting the words, but w/e. Use them when you can to help them stick.
FireCake once tried something like this, but he got booed out because it wasn't on topic.
Well now we're going to make it on topic. So shut up and play.
...
Hobbledehoy [hob-ble-de-hoy] - Noun
a clumsy or awkward youth (between boyhood and manhood)
The hobbledehoy hobbled over to the boy and offered an, "Ahoy!" |

It's still OOC, the thing you complain so strongly about. If you're going to start so many flamewars over it, at least stick to your convictions and don't make OOCs.
Your mother goes from ship-to-ship appeasing the happy sailors like the licentious profligate and roustabout that she is. |

| This is still adding to the excessive OOC issue. You are now part of the OOC-scourge. By Intergalactic Cosmic Law of Cthulhu, you shouldn't be able to complain about a problem if you add on to the issue. You'll still complain and flame people about it anyway though. |

Do you need a graph drawn in MSpaint with an attached finger-puppet show, along with lollipops given at regular intervals to make sure you're able to pay attention for longer than five seconds?
Excessive OOC is caused by people making OOC. If people don't make OOC, we would not have this issue. OOC leads to excessive OOC. OOC is bad and should not exist because it leads to excessive OOC and is already intrinsically bad. If you're unable to understand, I'll cease attempts to get through because it's not worth the struggle. |

okay, I'll play along
"This is still adding to the excessive OOC issue."
the "excessive OOC issue" is, as far as I'm concerned, only a pet peeve of mine
granted, some people have started to protest against the ooc, but for the most part, it's mostly been me
and I don't see it that way. ooc has always been prevalent here, but this year it's become an annoyance and - in my opinion - a distraction from RPing. and that's primarily because of the handful of people who actively post ooc, not because of the varied, infrequent ooc posters
"You are now part of the OOC-scourge. By Intergalactic Cosmic Law of Cthulhu, you shouldn't be able to complain about a problem if you add on to the issue."
okay
"You'll still complain and flame people about it anyway though."
probably so |

You receive the award for most recurrent use of OOC in a paragraph.
Congratulations! |

Okay
With that logic then we should eliminate sleep since excessive sleep is bad for your brain.
Or eliminate most food and drinks since excessive food and drink can cause stomach aches or other problems.
Let's get rid of fun to since excessive fun can lead to slacking off.
Oh and while we're at it lets just get rid of RPing since excessive RPing can lead to a lack of a social life and or social depravity.
Now need I add anymore examples to show you how stupid you sound?
