I hate wolfspeak, half the "terms" they use are incorrect and make it blatantly obvious they're just grabbing words at random from a thesaurus. Example, I once saw someone use "dial" as a synonym for their wolf's face. However, "dial" only = "face" if you're referring to the face of a CLOCK, not a wolf... Anyone who uses wolfspeak is generally just doing it to look smarter than they are or to fit in, and when half the words they use are wrong, it's stupid.
I never will understand why people would try to make their posts LESS easy to understand. You should make your roleplay interesting with interesting characters, not "interesting" language.
Kill it with fire.
If I feel like being fancy, I raid a thesaurus and still cross-check definitions, but RARELY. I used to use wolfspeak and sometimes still use pelt and a few others, bu nothing as bad as daggers, boa, tassel optics, etc. because that's when it crosses the line into stupid.
It just helps to know proper english when roleplaying. Hell, Femme; "Noun:
A lesbian or a male homosexual who takes a traditionally feminine sexual role."
Femme Fatale: Noun:
An attractive and seductive woman, esp. one who will ultimately bring disaster to a man who becomes involved with her.
Femme Fatale can be used, it's not wolfspeak, just... don't misuse it.
Brute: brute/bro?ot/
Noun:
A savagely violent person or animal: "he was a cold-blooded brute".
Adjective:
Unreasoning and animallike.
Brute is reasonable to use within limits.
Everything else is just incorrect; I may get fancy with my posts and take my time writing them, but rarely ever do I do... that anymore.
I do like showing up my boyfriend with my posts, though. I hope it eventually rubs off on him. (He's a newbie at roleplaying. me personally? 13 years since Oct. 11th. I just get lazy.)
