Say, for example, you're a musician. You're of average IQ, but are good at thinking on your feet. This means you're good at playing your own songs, and bad at learning other people's. Do you: A) Concentrate on your IQ, become smarter and thus better at learning other people's songs, or B) Forcus on your strengths and become even sharper minded? |

In theory, you cannot improve your IQ, therefore, option B. Remember, "The more you study The more you know, The more you know The more you forget, The more you forget The less you know. So, why study? |

I think RD was going for....actually what were you going for. The only defintion of that term I thought came close to this discussion was one on John Charles Alder. :unsure: |

Well, I'm hoping Nag will understand what I mean and explain it. If not, I'll explain it to you guys. |

It's true that 'Twink' has more than one meaning. But I'm pretty sure RD wasn't calling Nag a gay toyboy for some old rich bloke. |

I'm pretty sure I get it. Now I'm not sure what you guys were thinking (it's a gay reference and/or a John Charles Alder reference Posted Image?) But no, I'm not a twink. So I guess I shouldn't min-max. Also it's B) not Posted Image. And seriously, it's really not that hard to work out the context of the word. Check the thread title. And I think Malkav got it. I'd be surprised if he didn't. |

http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=twink Alright. I semi-fucked up. Still... I don't think people from across the pond start 'tawkin' lark rood bois' or whatever crap. The point stands. He wasn't calling Nag that thing I just linked. And aye, I do know what kind of twink he meant. |

You didn't semi-fuck up. You fucked up fully. I know the difference. Those words are from my world. |

So a gay twink can't rent? I'd say the best rent boy would be a twink. Granted I'm not into the youthful looking kinda guy, but then I'm not a rich sugar daddy anyway... And actually, scroll down a little. While that's a less than perfect definition, I think it's close enough to what RD meant. |

OK, I scrolled down a little - then I scrolled down a lot, then I went to the second page, and am still clueless. To me, a twink is someone looking 16, smooth, pretty, and usually shooting me down when I say "Hi"! So, can someone just plainly explain what the hell RD meant?? |

Here's a few words to clue you in: Munchkin "whatever gives the most plusses" Min-maxing And by "a little" I meant the very next definition on the list. Might be worth researching "multi-abuse" as well. |

Is that what he was going for? If so I'm totally clueless in this conversation and have been since the beginning. :wacko: |

Actually it's not a "stupid" question. Though it was inspired by a discussion I had about increasing my characters stats. It just turned up some interesting points of discussion, so I thought I'd bring it up here. Of course I was drunk at the time... so it might not have been that interesting. |

A sour puss is you. Besides, New Harumf was out of the closet before you, I'm pretty sure he gets dibs on ownership of the Middle East gay scene. |
