The Word "skulk"

GobyWanGobyWan Join Date: 2002-02-22 Member: 234Members
<div class="IPBDescription">How hard is it, really?</div> Just today, I have seen the words "skrank", "skrak", "sulk", "slulk" and "sklulk" pop up. Now, obviously a couple of those are misspellings, but come on, skrank? That's as bad as Turrents. I also just saw 'carapace" spelled as "caprence". That has a few of the same letters in it...

Please, spell, or at least try.

    fade = hydralisk
    skulk = zergling

    etc, its just funny

    every one puts pet names to stuff (and I seen no issues with i)

    as for those miss spells, well they probably were trying to type in game, and then so long as you know wtf they are talking about no worries

    would yalls just get over the spelling stuff, people don't care if you think it looks bad, they will keep on doing it if they want to



    sorry, bad day/week/month/term, and just seeing way to many of these posts (and just drop the fn turrents issue, you know what they are trying to say so good a *beep*ing nuff)

    --"Carpiece", "Caraspice" and "Carepice" instead of Carapace
    --"George" instead of Gorge <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->
    --"Turrent" instead of Turret
    --"Gernade" instead of Grenade
    --"Sage" instead of Siege
    --"Salk", "Stalk", "Sulk", "Skunk"(I'm NOT kidding) and "Stack" instead of Skulk

    The PJ -> NS Dicitonary:

    Dogs -> Skulks
    Fat things -> Gorges
    Tall things -> Fades
    Bats -> Lerks
    Rhinos -> Onos

    So now if you hear me yelling "Rhino coming with tall things and fatty" on team chat you know what I mean.

    I met a player with the handle "Curious Gorge". Clever?

    Usually I mistyped skulk as skuk, before I got a mic and didn't have to type. But that's just typing fast.

    I've seen "critter" for skulk, "pig" for gorge, "lerp" for lerk, and "oh no!" for onos. As in:

    NSPlayer: look out, there's a oh no!

    Hey! BOB! YAY!

    THE TYRANNY HAS ENDED! WE CAN SAY BOB AGAIN!

    (for those newcommers to the board, the name "Bob" was the original nickname for the Skulk alien. Several of the developers hate this nick with a passion, and the word "bob" was designated a swear word, and replaced with "skulk". Rather amusing)


    I've seen them called Skanks several times <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->

    I've seen him too. I've also seen "Gorge W. Bush", George Bush's fat look-alike of a cousin.

    'Blabbers' or 'Blabblers' instead of 'Babblers'.

    Hmmm. My alternate game-name of 'Silent Bob' has meaning! Yay!


    Get 'em, Darwin-Bob.

    Just today, I have seen posts on how others misspell the words "Skulk", "Turret", "Carapace", and "Gorge" pop up. Now, obviously this is just an effort to correct misspellings, but come on, really. When I've had high school students turn in reports with 1337 speak in it, a commonly misspelled word isn’t the end of the world. They have similar letters and you can easily figure out what the person is trying to say...

    Please, give it a rest, or at least try.
