Sigdi vs. O-Chul

[Fyraltari]

and now the meaning of the word has changed.

Yeah. So what are you saying?

[Wizard_Lizard]

Yeah. So what are you saying?

Tht maybe in starwarspeak tyranarius or whatever is just a poolitical position?

Or maybe dooku thought it sounded menacing and edgy and chose it for those reasons...

Tyranus. And you are confusing title and name. Tyranus is the name Sidious gave him not a job description.

So this really has nothing to do with Caesar.

[Peelee]

Maybe Dooku liked a nice salad.

[Vinyadan]

That means "speaker", nothing ominous about that. It was an emergency, temporary position. Well except for ol' "dictator-for-life" Gaius but pulling that stunt is what gave him his surprise free acupuncture session.

Not exactly, that would be "dictor". "Dictator" means "he who dictates (both meanings of giving orders and talking aloud for someone else to write)" or "prescribes".

EDIT: while we are at it, tyrannos also changed meaning over time. It first meant "lord" or "suzerain", but later took on the meaning of absolute power (a lord who is above the law), and, from there, gained more sinister traits.

[Peelee]

more sinister

It went left?!?

[Fyraltari]

It went left?!?

Hey! No politics!

[Vinyadan]

It went left?!?

Kinda -- Greek tyrants were supported by the lower classes and opposed by the aristocrats.

I was making a Latin joke, not a politics joke.

But what about your obvious implication that children should be forced to learn Latin in school, so they can understand Darth Tyrannosaurus's name?

[Peelee]

Well that's just good sense, it gives a basic grounding to make learning French, Spanish, Italian, etc. easier, as well as grounding for Darth Tryocidine.

[Wizard_Lizard]

Or maybe sinc he is EVIL he chose a nam e that clearly stated his nature o no one could get confused.

Ancient Greek*.

[Wizard_Lizard]

Ancient Greek*.

But they should learn latin too.

[D.One]

But they should learn latin too.

Woof woof. (Its a portuguese joke, because "latin" sounds like "latir", which is the portuguese verb for "bark". To be fair, I should have said "au au")

[Peelee]

Yeah, that would have been golden.

[D.One]

Yeah, that would have been golden.

Maybe a golden... retriever?

[Peelee]

Aaaaaaaqand you lost it.

[D.One]

Aaaaaaaqand you lost it.

What can I say? I'm just a punny guy...

[Jasdoif]

Aaaaaaaqand you lost it.

Time for a retriever, then.

[Peelee]

Time for a retriever, then.

An extraplanar construct, eh? I guess that response was inevitable.

[Wizard_Lizard]

You're right. How's about I buy you a drink to make amends. You a fan of djinn and tonic?

Insert incredibly funny and relevant joke here.

Don't mind if I do!

[woweedd]

Nah, get me a Mained, on the Rocs.

[Fyraltari]

[Wizard_Lizard]

Nah, get me a Mained, on the Rocs.
