Words & Phrases DSP Has Invented or Misuses - DSP'isms that make you say "HUUUHN?!?"

[Sparkletor]

I would put up a fun joke post for April Fools Day but sadly I don't have money to do it.

I'll post more info later but right now I have to go to the mall to buy new clothes for my trip to Nebraska to see my dying parents. Not gonna lie, my mom said she's dying to meet my soul mate, Pat.

Pat' s pretty excited too. She really wants to see my mom's dog, it's a rare purebred Italian Shepherd. Well it's really a mix of a bunch of breeds but it likes Italian dog food so we consider it purebred Italian.

The "Battle Royal" thing is really weird. Is that how they pronounce it in WWE or something? I don't watch wrestling, but everywhere else I've ever heard the term pronounced it as "Royale". Hell, you'd figure Phil had seen Pulp Fiction before at least.

It seems like now it's one of those things that he is being stubborn and continuing to do just so he doesn't have to say he's wrong, which like you said, only makes him look stupider.

It seems you are exactly right as to why Phil confuses the terms. In WWE/Pro Wrestling there is an annual event called the 'Royal Rumble'. It is a last-man-standing in the ring match with multiple competitors in the ring, it seems elimination is by ring-out, and competitors enter the ring sequentially rather than all starting in the ring. In Pro Wrestling this is known as the old-fashioned term 'Battle Royal' https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Royal_Rumble and there is a Wikipedia page just for 'Battle Royal' (professional wrestling) https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_royal_(professional_wrestling)

According to Wikipedia https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_royal , the historical term was in fact 'Battle Royal' meaning literally a battle fit for royalty as entertainment, thus describing large combative events. It originally was used to describe cockfights, and later in the 18th century was expanded to include human fights and sea-battles between equally matched armadas. In the 19th century it was used to describe forced combat between slaves.

Here in the MODERN ERA we say 'Battle Royale' for these last-man-standing elimination-style free-for-alls as they are patterned after the novels and films titled 'Battle Royale', while a more generic fisticuffs or wrestling match between multiple opponents would be described as a 'Battle Royal'. The murder-free-for-all video game genre is only called by the term 'Battle Royale', you are WRONG Phil.

It is a last-man-standing in the ring match with multiple competitors in the ring, it seems elimination is by ring-out, and competitors enter the ring sequentially rather than all starting in the ring. In Pro Wrestling this has apparently become known as a 'Battle Royal', with the editors of the 'Royal Rumble' Wikipedia page referring to it only as a 'Battle Royal' several times https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Royal_Rumble and there is a Wikipedia page just for 'Battle Royal' (professional wrestling) https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_royal_(professional_wrestling)

Apparently, again according to Wikipedia https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_royal , the historical term was in fact 'Battle Royal' meaning literally a battle fit for royalty as entertainment, thus describing large combative events. It originally was used to describe cockfights, and later in the 18th century was expanded to include human fights and sea-battles between equally matched armadas. In the 19th century it was used to describe forced combat between slaves.

Here in the MODERN ERA we say 'Battle Royale' for everything except Pro Wrestling Battles Royale, as the Pro Wrestling circuit has grandiosly branded these fake-fights with the old-fashioned term 'Battle Royal' since at least the late 80's and the modern term for these elimination style free-for-alls came into use in the late 90's/early 2000's.

TL;DR Dave is brainwashed by wrasslin’ and a boomer, gotcha...

Of course people have already mentioned his very obvious and (imho) extremely annoying mispronunciation of the word "Royale" in "Battle Royale", with DSP calling it "Battle ROYAL".

He has been directly and indirectly told about this numerous of times in his chat, on Twitter and KF ever since he started played PUBG, so that has been well over a year at this point. Now, a normal person would hear/see that once or twice and decide to correct themselves to never mispronounce it ever again because, quite frankly, it sounds really dumb and anyone with the IQ of an apple and above could unlearn this stupid shit.

But not DSP, oh no, not DSP...

Instead of him actually learning something for once and pronounce it the correct way and how 99% of the world pronounces it, he STILL calls it "Battle ROYAL", BUT with the addition of "...or Battle Royale, however you want to say it". Gah! As if the two words can't mean two completely different things!

For some reason this annoys the f u c k out of me. Just pronounce it the way it's supposed to be pronounced. How hard can it be? Jesus.

He does the same thing with his repeated insistence on pronouncing Sekiro , Sehk-cur-ro.

D$P's "real Italian" food :
*Bread served with butter (....ummm only in a bad American-Italian restaurant )

*An appetizer course called some word I have not idea how to spell ( aka to the rest of the world and ALL of Italy
antipasto
(ˌæntɪˈpɑːstəʊ; -ˈpæs-)
n, pl -tos
(Cookery) a course of hors d'oeuvres in an Italian meal
[Italian: before food]

* Margherita pizza /Roma tomato
Red= NOT roma tomato
green= dried oregano/basil flakes
white= Americanized Mozzerella
NONE of these would be served on a Margherita pizza made by someone from "the old country"

a 'real' Margherita pizza

The old arcade Phil used to go to has been converted to an "outdoor boating" shop.

Outdoor boating.

It's kind of odd that this place would neglect the huge indoor boating market and only focus on selling boats for outdoor use.

That’s how it’s spelled in Pokémon Sun and Moon, maybe DSP got used to that pronunciation?

I can confirm that indoor boating is a thing. It's called Alabama and yes, you should be scared.

So this guy is just a young Brett Keane, right?

99% certain that's a no. Matt couldn't care less about Phil, let alone make a documentary show that references him.

Side note: Battle Royale was written by a guy taking the term from wrestling. Japanese people love wrestling. Not sure why he went with Royale but I know that's where he got it from.

Has to be "Hardcore Gaming Season"

1. No one ever needed a term for the fact that summer tends to see a lot of games released at the same time.
2. In recent years that hasn't even really been strictly true thanks to games moving to a more service based model.
3. A """"hardcore"""" gamer wouldn't be strictly bound to play only new games, only a trend chasing slave to the industry like DSP is.

 

[That Hedonist Nerd]

Phil doesn't understand that having a large vocabulary doesn't just mean using a lot of words, if you don't know what they mean then you sound worse than the guy who uses the same two or three phrases for everything. At least that guy has an understanding of what he is actually saying.

Phil sees that the word has "ultimate" in it so he assumes that it means the best, even though ultimate also means the last. I wonder what he would say if people started correcting him on these words and phrases that he uses incorrectly.

I think a lot of people use it the way Dave does. It is kind of weird, having a word for "almost last". Still, I believe I learned it's usage in 8th grade English

"It's cheaper to pay 2 internet lines than paying 1, I know it sounds crazy, but it is, okay?"

SNORRRRRRRRRRT

Actually, he's mostly right.
With spectrum, when I ordered business service, it was going to run me $299/ month. However, since I already had a consumer connection+cable, they dropped the biz to $79.99

In the new Snort Burnell video DSP says "Pwearel" early on when talking about the "childish mindset" of trolls. I think he meant puerile, but who knows with DSP.

Oh my god, he did. He referred to them as "immature and pweril" (1m40s)

Also really weird is that my 2nd result when I Google search the word 'puerile' has a reference to gout from a 1927 literature citation demonstrating the use of the word 'puerile' https://en.m.wiktionary.org/wiki/puerile ?
