shadowwisp Posted September 24, 2013 Posted September 24, 2013 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 4
Galavantes Posted September 24, 2013 Posted September 24, 2013 (edited) 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. Edited September 24, 2013 by Rubix Spoilers added to your post just in case anybody is offended by anatomy. 1
Magness Posted September 25, 2013 Posted September 25, 2013 I was also taken aback that Sanderson would include this in one of his books. Although, I did think it was very funny. 1
LordCitrus Posted September 26, 2013 Posted September 26, 2013 Ahh I came up with the first one Galavantes had, never would have imagined there was an even deeper layer to all this. (and yes, this probably sets some kind of record for Sanderson xD)
PeterAhlstrom he/him Posted September 26, 2013 Posted September 26, 2013 You didn't read Infinity Blade: Awakening, did you. 8
LordCitrus Posted September 26, 2013 Posted September 26, 2013 twice! If you're suggesting there was something similar there, well I guess it blended a lot better since I don't recall...
Gilgalid Posted September 26, 2013 Posted September 26, 2013 I am glad I am not the only one that didn't understand this one! I probably said it over and over again a million times but couldn't figure it out....I see it now LOL
Topomouse he/him Posted September 27, 2013 Posted September 27, 2013 So that was the joke. I didn't get it either. English not being my first language was alredy a good excuse, but I'm happy to see i wasn't the only one who didn't get it.The best i got after trying to say it was something like Kink Kinkness
Jo and the Bush all/any Posted February 3, 2014 Posted February 3, 2014 Peter, What was in Infinity Blade awakening? I missed any joke like that.
ChocolateRob he/him Posted February 9, 2014 Posted February 9, 2014 Peter, What was in Infinity Blade awakening? I missed any joke like that. Isa offers to trade her dictionary for the Infinity Blade but to sweeten the deal she decides to throw in a pair of penis to write with. 2
Big_Ed Posted July 2, 2015 Posted July 2, 2015 @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. 1
Amrynn he/him Posted August 9, 2015 Posted August 9, 2015 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. 1
sieqwish Posted September 26, 2015 Posted September 26, 2015 Yeah, people who didn't understand that, unite! Quite funny, though. 2
Aon tEhe Posted November 19, 2015 Posted November 19, 2015 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...
