It's not a joke, it's dutch.
I was playing WoW, my char's named Traziun and some dutch guy asked me if I was dutch. I said no, he said "Ur name means asshole in dutch."

That is one of the weirdest things I've ever heard. Is it possible that he just related it to the nearest word he could? Or does Lun has a bit of a cynical side...?

Based on what fwacho has said about how the characters were named, this seems an unlikely coincidence.

I'm pretty sure that's bullshit. I just spent like, half an hour trying to confirm that, and I didn't see it anywhere.

Dutch and Deutsche are so close to being the same language, that if the distance between their physical representations was based on how different they were, they'd still be close enough to procreate. Therefore....no...I would not reccommend you take characters too seriously, as some of them are a bit....unique...

It doesn't matter if they say they're dutch. Lots of people lie constantly on the net because they get a small thrill from their deception, which was not detected since its all in words that show no tone at all when you wrote them unless you deliborately try to lie. Just look at Inderos. No just and loving god/father of Flibbo would ever allow such an asshole to be graced with fortune or intellect. But since he's got a keyboard and a ... ..... *cough*.....*snicker*very good reputation around here, people might believe him if he says he has the best model of mustang there ever was...I'm thinking 1944-ish.

It doesn't matter if you get on Ventrillo or Skype or Teamspeak and hear him talk in a dutch accent. Many of the northern European nations have some easily mocked or false accents and rules that, if you follow them to the right degree at the right times, can make one sound like they speak it as their primary language or something...I know German speech rules fairly well, so I can do a lot of stereotypical accents, like Austrian and German


Plus, there are really stupid people on WoW sometimes. In conclusion, learn to deal with those morons constantly. Want another example? Lets use another Blizzard game. Starcraft Battlenet: Nuff said.



Note: 1944 was a year that the US was in the 2nd world war, and the government converted commercial factories into war factories, so his "car" would be a shot-down plane that ford built as part of the conversion. Yay for american history.

Like using a shotgun on a gnat.
Maybe if you know your true love is about to move away to college or something, you can stick this shit in the stereo and make the moment last while at the same time listening to pussies whine about bitch shit. Just like you.

I speak Dutch and a bit of German. There is absolutely no way Traziun means anything in either of these languages. Case solved.

I lived in Saudi Arabia a few years ago and I learnt that "Ass" in Arabic is
"Teez"
"Teez", "Traziun", why not?

TOTAL AND COMPLETE BULL ALARM ACTIVATED.

I doubt that guy on WoW was doing anything other than just being stupid when he said that... people get a strange kick out of stuff like that.
