Cutting in to say that 'Snoggered' is an excellent new euphemism that I will be incorporating into my vocabulary from this point on.

You've never heard that one before? Yes, it is excellent. Snoggered/snockered has been around longer than I have. But it's kind of fallen out of use since the turn of the century. Does that put you in the under-thirty crowd?
--- End quote ---
Is 'shnockered' a regional variant, then?
I'm used to hearing an 'sh' in there.
EDIT:typo fix
Is it cold in here?:

--- Quote from: Castlerook on 02 Apr 2018, 08:03 ---This might be just me, but I find that the more Melon appears, the less I like her.
It might be the off-the-wall nature or that she's so eccentric, but every time she's in a comic her likeability drops five points.
Again, that's probably just me.

I'm not even sure if Melon is a sentient. You'd sooner be able to convince me that Corpse Witch has consciousness.
--- End quote ---
Well, she doesn't exist, and a drawing on a computer is not sentient. Our gracious host has made it unmistakably clear that he's portraying them as metal and plastic versions of people. Bubbles feels emotional pain, Momo has a sense of mission in life, so on and so on.
SpanielBear:
Melon is sentient, she just comes at reality at an oblique angle.
That way she can flank it, and gain advantage when she attacks.
So far, she and reality are engaged in an intense existential battle, and reality has yet to land a decisive blow.
Is it cold in here?:
--- Quote from: Y on 04 Apr 2018, 18:54 ---Now what ingredients are actually in these cookies?
--- End quote ---
I wondered that too, since she was apparently baking them for herself.
There is not a shred of evidence for this but I have an intuition out of nowhere that Brun is one of those people who has bad or at least idiosyncratic reactions to cannabis.
If Jeph goes down that road I will report him to the Society for Prevention of Cruelty to Characters.

I've seen it spelled snoggered, snockered, shnockered, and schnockered. Dictionary.com shows both snockered and schnockered. But I've almost always heard it as shnoggered, even though I've never seen it written that way. I wouldn't be surprised if there were a lot of regional variants, depending on how shnoggered the people are who are saying it. ;)
