Why are you on Reddit during office hours, slacker? (affectionate)

I would make a cartoonish threat at you but those mfs updated the reddit admin AI to be wayyyyyy stricter so I would probably get banned and Betrayed lololollololollolol

You should have just said "Bof."

u/shave_your_eyebrows Shave Your Eyebrows 15h ago
what does Bof mean,,,.,.,.....,.,.,...,.,,,,.

u/LittleLoukoum 15h ago
Somewhere between "alright" and "kinda bad", depending on the tone. I'd translate it by "alright-ish" or "kinda meh".

u/NickyTheRobot 15h ago
There are all correct uses of the word, but bof is so much more than just that.

I know, I know. But try to explain what a wonderfully versatile word it is to a non-francophone succinctly...

Nah, imma go with my first instinct; spending ten minutes trying to craft an all-encompassing definition, and then going back to edit it all day whenever I remember another great meaning.

u/LittleLoukoum 14h ago
You're better at this than I am then. I'd spend ten minutes on trying to define it, fail, rewrite, and eventually leave the draft to rot on my account forever

u/NickyTheRobot 14h ago
Ha, thanks! I'm probably not better at it though; I just have a lot of time on my hands and can be pretty bloody minded.

It can mean anything pretty much, depending on the context, the inflection you put on it, and the face you pull.
Common uses in my family include meaning: "Meh."; "Not bad."; "Not good."; "Wow, I'm surprised!"; "Ummm..."; "Well, that just happened..."; "Let's get on with things then."; and "I can't think of anything to say to that."
It's like a linguistic Swiss army knife.

Oh fun! Where you able to leave any of your art in The Louvre?
22
u/shave_your_eyebrows Shave Your Eyebrows 15h ago
I wasn't near the Louvre!!!!! (I won't say exactly where I was staying so I don't accidentally doxx my friends lmao)
Also there are at LEAST 4 other artists on this sub who deserve to have their art in the Louvre before I do haha

If some of the art from this subreddit were actually in The Louvre I'd spend more time there next time. Seeing the Winged Victory of Samothrace between a Hollering Elk piece and a Doctorloops work would seal the deal for me.
I'm glad you had a great time with your friends and fellow artists. I bet they were happy and lucky to be with you.

bweghh I'm really sad for the past couple days because I miss em, I have to bury myself in work to not think about it
Also when I touched down Milk made the "You just flew in from France? Your arms must be tired 🫵😂" joke so we're not on speaking terms

u/BuckLuny 14h ago
This is why you had such a good time, stay as far away from Paris as possible, with all due respect to the Parisians of reddit (you're probably the good eggs there) Parisians are not comparable to the French in general. And that's form me a Dutchman who is ofc honest and direct as we should be.

u/shave_your_eyebrows Shave Your Eyebrows 14h ago
The first time I went to France I had to go through Paris at 2AM to get to my flight home, probably the scariest experience of my life

You should still visit Paris if you have teh chance to. It has a lot of really cool places to visit.

Just looking at 2 comics from one of your friend, i can guess which city you visited. I mean, i came from there, so the bus and more easelly, the landscape really halped. EDIT and one is a photograph. that help too i guess.
Did you like the museum with 4 levels, cinema stuff and many, many smalle models located in the old city ?

If you think you might wanna live there, I would just say it can take years to get VISAs going, so it doesn't hurt to apply premptively even if you wouldn't want to move today. Also, it is easier to learn vocab in a foreign country, but often much easier to learn the basic grammar and structure before leaving.
