So I just finished the book in one go lol. It was pretty good. It had a definite moviesh feel to it but im not sure if that was a good thing or bad.

 

Anyways so what exactly does saying "Pink Pinkiness" a few times very quickly sound like? I think I have a vague idea but im not actualy sure if Brandon Sanderson would actually put that in this book hahahahah

Yeah it's a bit un-sandersony isn't it? particularly in a YA novel where he even substitutes in silly curse words. But yeah, I read it as

"pink penis"

 Or you might even be able to get

"big penis"

 out of it if you tried.

@Gilgalid No, you're not the only one. The joke does not work for me, and I'm a native speaker (I even TEACH ESL!). I came independently to the same conclusion as others, but only by warping the words in different ways. When I say "Pink Pinkness" over and over again quickly, I get "pinkpinknespinkpinknespinkpinknespinkpinkness". Apparently, Sanderson drops k's when he talks fast and uses vowels differently than I do.

I got this the first time, but I unfortunately was in the middle of Language Arts class, so I burst out laughing and couldn't really explain to the teacher exactly why I laughed so hard so suddenly.

I think he was just goofing off with a new idea of a joke. I was rather entertained. It's not every day we get to see Sanderson goof off in quite that way. I was barely able to contain my laughter in my math class. It would've been bad if I had been caught. I've been caught reading far to much in math...
