Weird Cat

Once I have firmly established that I do actually know what I’m talking about, I take immense joy in using wrong/imprecise words in especially jargon-laden or technical contexts.

• Ex: talking about sails and rigging and the Golden Age of Sail and absolutely refusing to use the word “ship” the whole time
• Ex: “why is that guy wearing a weird hat?” instead of “why is that one guy wearing a helm/armor that is totally inconsistent in period and region with the guys around him?”
• Ex: “ooh, what a weird sword thing” “it’s a spear” “yeah, that’s a really weird sword thing”
• Ex: calling a character in a tv show Weird Zeus the whole time, despite knowing his name
