Welcome to General Chat - GAW Community Area
This General Chat area started off as a place for people to talk about things that are off topic, however it has quickly evolved into a community and has become an integral part of the GAW experience for many of us.
Based on its evolving needs and plenty of user feedback, we are trying to bring some order and institute some rules. Please make sure you read these rules and participate in the spirit of this community.
Rules for General Chat
-
Be respectful to each other. This is of utmost importance, and comments may be removed if deemed not respectful.
-
Avoid long drawn out arguments. This should be a place to relax, not to waste your time needlessly.
-
Personal anecdotes, puzzles, cute pics/clips - everything welcome
-
Please do not spam at the top level. If you have a lot to post each day, try and post them all together in one top level comment
-
Try keep things light. If you are bringing in deep stuff, try not to go overboard.
-
Things that are clearly on-topic for this board should be posted as a separate post and not here (except if you are new and still getting the feel of this place)
-
If you find people violating these rules, deport them rather than start a argument here.
-
Feel free to give feedback as these rules are expected to keep evoloving
In short, imagine this thread to be a local community hall where we all gather and chat daily. Please be respectful to others in the same way
Probably discussed before, but why did they pick "Truth Social"? I'd say probably in addition to "getting the truth out" or similar, also about the closest thing branding-wise they could get to "Trump" and make any sense.
Here's where an actual book dictionary comes in handy (also, the downstairs bathroom adjacent to the media room/"conservatory" which you probably didn't want to know but now you do):
Truck - ok well that would be cool really, but lots of "compensation" etc jokes
Trunk - hmm. Elephant? RINO Social. Yeah not so much
Trust - kind of like Truth but weaker
Aaaaand that's about it. Hell, Trump's lucky he had much of anything to pick from, eh?
Interesting/fun words found along the way:
trumpery: 1: "worthless nonsense" 2: "trivial or useless articles: JUNK" <-- if only people had vocabularies they would have been using this all along
trull (obscure) (roughly, from "troll") - "prostitute/strumpet"
Nice, a new word for prostitute!
I've been relying too heavily on "strumpet."
Seriously though, interesting thoughts on the TS name.
😅
I enjoyed this thread. 🍿
