[Hello and welcome to another edition of "Sad Clone Seeks Answers" starring one Kaede Nolastname.

This time it's Even Dumber!!]

I'll probably regret this after what happened last time, but I've been doing some... Research and I keep coming across words and phrases I don't understand, but that the author's believe are universally understood and so they don't explain them.

So.

What's a crush? Why does it involve other people?

[Sounds unpleasant!]

It's when you really, really, like someone. In a romantic sense. 'I have crush on this person'.

It's. Usually when the other person doesn't share your emotions, and it's crushing to know that.

[monostich]

Romantic... I can’t say that really explains anything. Isn’t that a time period?

you ever look at a person and everything they do makes you feel like you're gonna have a heart attack and throw up a kitten?

that's a crush.

[monostich]

Uh.

No??? Never. Are you sure that’s right?

[ and now ledo knows you can ask the network about this sort of thing too. cursed knowledge obtained!

in any case, a robotic voice speaks up first. finally, something he actually knows! chamber knowing it technically makes that knowledge his by proxy. ]

A "crush" as related to others is defined as a group of considerable size pressing against one another or a crowding together.

Is that helpful?

[ he's very confident that he's solved this mystery. ]

Do they not have reference materials in this world? There are many words that exist that people use that I do not understand either. Too many to ask questions like this for each time.

Is that a robot?!

[ NOT THE ISSUE AT HAND RIGHT NOW STELLA SWEETIE ]

[monostich]

That... Doesn’t sound right? That sounds very incorrect, actually.

[...

He considers for a moment.]

Well, maybe it is... It does seem like an unpleasant scenario.

it means you want to date someone. or kiss them. or screw them. or all three.

[monostich]

Dating is another thing that confused me. Why do people want to know exactly how old people are?

[leicesters]

For a confused person who finds people confusing, and is confused when people help you to not be confused, you're spending an awful lot of confused time trying to be less confused.

But hey! It's nice to see you're reaching out for help. Confusing though the answers may be.

[monostich]

Why are you like this?

Video, un: wolfkissed

[raven_sage]

Ah, I know of this. You take the other person in your hands, hold them tight to you...and then you squeeze, hard as you can until something breaks or pops. Helps to get the blood up first, it can take more strength than you think to properly crush someone.

Actually, it helps if you can get both fingers in and gouge the eyes. Like this, eh? [Eivor mimes the gesture.] The pain is overwhelming and at the very least you'll blind them with their own blood, make it easier to finish them off as they stumble around like a drunken skald.

[ferrytale]

Ah, yes, this is a valid tactic we are trained to use if there are no other alternatives since it is itself a perilous manoeuvre. We learn the most vulnerable area to target that will best incapacitate the enemy.

[UH???

Kaede pauses, looking down at his arms.]

I don’t think I’m strong enough to do that. Maybe the eye thing I could...?

You think if I forward this entire post to King Arthur, he'll rethink letting us as a population make a democratic decision about whether or not to start a fucking war?

I'm just saying.

By the way, most of these answers are technically right, but unless you're reading about human tragedies, the one you're looking for is probably the romantic one. It's common slang.

[beaumains]

Okay but why do people use that word? It's always sounded pretty weird to me, too.

Were you the guy asking about why people take orders to kill others, and whether or not killing was bad and crap a month or so ago?

...You know you're just gonna get trolled fielding stuff like this to the network, right?

[monostich]

Yes.

I was told to ask questions about things that confused me, so that’s why I’m asking...

[tantailizing]

when you see person and like them but dont really know them

[monostich]

There’s a lot of people I like and don’t know... So I have crushes on them?

text, un: c.silverberg

[thirdwisestar]

don't listen to these people, they're all pulling your leg. a crush is when you drop a huge boulder on someone and crush them.

it's very literal.

[ ...yes, he is being an ass. The ability to communicate with an entire city at the touch of a finger and it's being used for this? Honestly. ]

[monostich]

That seems like something that takes much more effort than how crushes are being described...

Are you sure?

[groundzeroes]

[Rei is still pretending Kaede successfully blocked him (thanks technomancy), so he won't respond to this post.

But God is he losing his fucking mind]

I had that problem too. Apparently it means unspoken romantic thoughts or wishes about someone, but not explicitly sexually, as if a distinction is even necessary. The future's advancement socially is wonderful, but sometimes like this, it's just annoying as hell.

There's a stupid song I can send you that helped me learn what it means if you think it might help.

[monostich]

A song? Well, if it was helpful, sure.

Though I can’t say I exactly understand the romantic thoughts and wishes thing either.

You know the search engines can define words for you, right? If you want to avoid disasters like that last time, you might want to try that.

[monostich]

I’ve tried but it all brings up other things I’m unfamiliar with and just an endless loop of questions... This seemed faster.

[ Dawww. ]

It means you have the hots for someone! You know, like-like! You dig them! You're so, super into them!

[monostich]

...What? You’re inside someone?

[To troll or not to troll, that is the question]

Why do you want to know?

[monostich]

I’m trying to understand what it’s like to be human. This seemed like a shared experience most people have had but that I’ve never experienced.

Duh! The game of romance is typically a two-player game. Why wouldn't it involve other people?

[monostich]

Romance is a game? Like poker??

[Sorry, he’s just like this.]
