Literary Devices

[Tavrobel]

Do you talk like this in real life?

Yes, but with curses added for good flavor. I'm not a very imaginative person.

[rubah]

Well, I guess I'll take comfort in the idea that however many conclusions I jump to, I'm at least a nice person! Gosh!

[Zeldy]

Oxymoron!

Literary? Literature?

[bipper]

I will argue that which is correct

Taking out of context! winnar am I! This is why he will argue what I say, once

Sorry, bipper, I'm not supposed to support you in any way, shape, or form.

[Ouch!]

Being nice is highly overrated. It's much more fun to be a jerk.

Since we're going to tack on all sorts of fancy technical terms and elements of rhetoric, I claim ethos, pathos, and logos. While on the topic of fallacies, I select the association fallacy guilt by honor. Also, although not exactly a literary device, I select profanity.

I think I've covered my bases well enough now.

[Del Murder]

Well then can I claim d’Artagnan?

We aren't, that's what tavrobel was pointing out.

It would appear that my intention was misinterpreted.

[Momiji]

I would be a palindrome.



Or alliteration.



Or rhyme.

Take your pick.

You way support my out of shapeness in true form.

[Yamaneko]

I would be the Everyman who understands that wit is better left to the Fool.

[Big D]

I'd be a Blackadder-style extended metaphor.
Probably accompanied by some blatant innuendo that's delivered so innocuously that it sounds completely unintentional. I do that in real life sometimes.

[rubah]

on purpose, D?

is that kinda like the other night when I hit my cheek on a door and my mom said she hoped I wouldn't get a boner from it? rather, a black eye?

[Big D]

on purpose, D?

Yup, usually. If it's only a mild innuendo, then it's easy to get away with. It's quite out-of-character for me, so a straight-faced delivery can leave people guessing as to whether I actually intended - or even noticed - the dodgy connotation.
