@shaknais @KekunPlazas @ThermiteBeGiants @julie @timrichards @liamvhogan yeah I'm sure there IS a rule 34 on that one but it's probably niche enough that the result you want comes up first

@CynAq @ThermiteBeGiants @julie @timrichards @liamvhogan Not necessarily; English is about my third ranked language I can express [hopefully] without too much trouble - vernacular expressions like "a gimp" are just amusing or interesting when put into context, but by no means any hindering for using anything named as such.
Guess it's the same for a great number of people who don't have English as a first or second language.
[Which is a great number... 🤔 ]
