    Promontory reminds me that as a French, when speaking English, I sometimes use literary French terms with an English accent as an elite facade for amusement because I sense that it probably exists in literary English (afaik literary words are more likely to be similar than common ones, dating from when they learned what cuisine is). It works better when nobody’s a native Anglophone in the chamber so people just think they don’t know this chic word when I’m just mistaken. Although, there is a risqué risk of false friend that may turn it into a ridicule faux-pas by ricochet.

          Schadenfreude, zeitgeist, kindergarten and many other words are borrowed from the German language.

    Sigh… I could do with more epic quests. Run from orcs, drink some dew, get my steps in.

Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.

The rules are simple:

  • The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author’s website, for instance).
  • The comic must be a complete story.
  • If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
  • You may post comics from others or your own.
  • If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
  • The comic can be in any language, but if it’s not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post’s ‘body’ field (note: you don’t need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
  • Politeness.
  • Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.
