26th Memory [Voice]

[memoryboxes]

[Long since returned home after her ordeal in the draft and her hospital time, Sayo has been reading. You see, when someone brings up a word, this woman here will learn the damn meaning of that word. And when she cannot find an actual meaning? Well, her determination flounders for but a moment! Aaaah, if only urbandictionary.com existed in Luceti. But even she has her limits, and she's all out of her own personal notes.

Finally with a sigh she drops her Merriam-Webster's Dictionary on the table, and turns to the whole of Luceti via her journal with a pleading sort of aura to the bend of her eyebrows.]


Does anyone know what a shithead is??

[markofthewise]

It's what Sanji calls the half of Luceti he doesn't bend over backwards for.

[Voice]

[memoryboxes]

W-well, that makes sense, I suppose! He's the one who uses it the most! I hear it day after day in the kitchen, but I never really thought much of it; I always assumed it meant 'customers'...!

But I guess that's not it, either.

[voice]

[fourteen]

[ tries to stifle giggles

fails ]

You've been talking to Sanji a lot, huh, Sayo?

[voice]

[memoryboxes]

Aaah, yes! I work in the kitchen, so I hear it a lot. Does it mean.... mmm... 'guests'? Oh, but that can't be, because he's used it outside of Seventh Heaven, too...

voice

[ahappylie]

....It doesn't sound pleasant, that's for certain.

voice

[memoryboxes]

It does sound a bit too much, doesn't it? All those harsh sounds! Especially if Sanji-san's upset with someone! He says it often in the restaurant...

[goldenglasses]

[This is the sound of a man laughing. A man laughing hard. Then there's the sound of crashing as a laughing man falls off his bar stool.

Give him a moment. He'll answer your question once he can stop laughing enough to sit up.]

[memoryboxes]

[fsdkgjdflkgj!!!

LEANING AWAY NOW THANKS]

Ah, who is that?!

A strange creature's yelling through the journal!

[theoniongirl]

[well, someone very nearly choked on her coffee. Give her a minute.]

Learning new words, Sayo?

[memoryboxes]

... S-something like that...

[>_>;;]

Though, they're not quite what I thought they'd be...

[Nothing]

[mikangirl]

[This is the sound of someone going to look for Sanji.

OH WAIT, YOU CAN'T HEAR THAT. NEVER MIND, CARRY ON.]

voice

[simplestgift]

[Give him a moment as he mulls over this. And smiles like an evil person.]

A supremely unpleasant person. So to speak.

voice

[memoryboxes]

Is that so? I couldn't find the definition anywhere...

[sigh]

Then... Then if someone is rude to you, calling them a shithead is fitting!

[voice]

[ever_deceptive]

[Coming upon that in the journal, Yeager's eyebrows immediately shoot up in shock. And then he bursts out laughing. Alright, that is the funniest thing he's heard all day.

After a few moments, he gathers his breath enough to reply.]

It's, um, a derogatory name for someone that's very stupid or annoying. [And he resumes snickering.]

[voice]

[memoryboxes]

Oooh, I see! No wonder he uses it so much; he finds a lot of people annoying, I think. I'm not sure why... Maybe he just has short patience...

Whats 'dero...gatory' mean?

[Video]

[yestothedress]

I don't know, but it sounds rather uncouth. A lady shouldn't say such things!

[Video]

[memoryboxes]

[OH CRAP REALLY??

She lowers her voice, surprised.]

You think it's... unspeakable, for women?

[Voice]

[fleurdesel]

[...Adele replays the question several times to be certain she's hearing it correctly. Then. Then she laughs. For the first time since she's arrived she laughs long and hard before wiping at her eyes and answering with a faint hiccup.]

They are a hooligan, a devil, a fool. Someone foolish and unpleasant, irritating to the point of frustration. Why is it you need to know this word?

[Voice]

[memoryboxes]

Well... someone I know uses it often, so I wondered what it meant! But he never tells me, so I had to go looking myself.

So if you're upset with someone or they frustrate you, it's a good word to use?

[Voice] /also has no regrets

[lostinmyway]

Oh, I don't know. I wonder what it means.

[Maybe she should ask one of her friends....]

[Voice]

[memoryboxes]

I've been looking all over, but I haven't found it used anywhere in a book! Do you think... perhaps it's a very old word the dictionaries don't carry anymore?

[ nothing ]

[markofthebrave]

[...Whelp. She guesses that this had to happen sometime.]

voice;

[alloys]

...Are you serious?

[Yes, he recognizes her. No, he's not going to point out he's that man in the suit who saved her on the draft. He doesn't much want to think about that right now anyway.]

voice;

[memoryboxes]

Why wouldn't I be? I've been trying for a while to find the definition, but it's not in any of my notes or books!

[nothing]

[deathsdoctor]

[WHELP. Let's hope Miss Elicia has been spared.]

[Voice]

[wise_maiden]

It's not a term that one should use to describe anyone. Especially you, Sayo.

[Voice]

[memoryboxes]

Oh, it's never used to describe me! Though, I've heard it so many times by now, I haven't even forgotten it...

[Voice]

[ledbythewind]

Did you learn that term from Sanji, Miss Sayo?

[There will be Words.]

[Voice]

[memoryboxes]

[gasp!]

Then you've heard it from him, too, haven't you?

[FUCK YOU ASHLEE.]

[concasse]

[voice]

[acertainalbinoesper]

Does anyone not know what a shithead is?

Besides you, anyway.

[Voice]

[memoryboxes]

Oh—I don't know... I've just never really heard of it, outside of one person... Is it really that common of a word?

[voice]

[ahardwiredheart]

[It made sense that some people wouldn't know the meaning of that word. A bit startling to hear too; so sudden.]

You can just think of it as a diss. They're not very wise choice of words though.

[voice]

[memoryboxes]

A.... 'diss'?

[I'm from the 1800's and what is this.]

voice...

[weaponry]

[ Tenten just begins laughing. So very very hard. Her cackles might cause Sayo to cover her ears in some type of shock, but for the most part it's a rather tolerable volume. ]

Sayo, where did you hear that?!

voice...

[memoryboxes]

Ah! From my boss! I've heard it enough that I haven't forgotten it, even after all this time...

[Voice]

[semper_cogitans]

[... You know, Robert probably should find this strange. Probably.

But as usual, he answers this in a relatively nonplussed way. All matter-of-fact, with him.]

This, as well as many other similar terms, are words used to... describe unpleasant individuals, ones who the speaker... dislikes, or otherwise wishes to refrain from contact with...

... It generally implies some... degree of irritation or stupidity, of the person the term is directed towards.

Such a term would be... considered extremely uncouth, on Terra. Not to mention that using such a term means that the one speaking has... well, no better verbal alternatives...

[Voice]

[memoryboxes]

Oh, I see!

[... huh.]

Where's Terra? If I may ask.

[ voice ]

[repudiate]

I could give some examples of 'shitheads', if that'd help.

[ she seems to be kidding though, judging from the deadpan tone. ]

[ voice ]

[memoryboxes]

[...]

Sure! I'd like to hear some examples, if you have them!

[menial]

...Well, I think it's safe to assume it derives from "shit" and "head", for starters.

[NOD, NOD.

You are a master teacher.]

I know what head means! Then... what is shit?
