#kleb

¿Ready for a klebtastic moment?

fugg (English) /fʌɡ/ substitute for “fuck”

So you know how Akiridions use the word 'kleb' as some kind of curse when they're mildly inconvenienced? It's pretty much like the humans' common curses/swears, so 'kleb' must be a way of the Akiridions saying for example the F or S word, or even alternative words to replace swears (e.g. crap).

As someone who, for whatever reason, never really picked up the knack for swearing, my real-life invective vocabulary is sadly limited. Nevertheless, I headcanon ‘kleb’ as closest to ‘shit’ - maybe your parents will get on your case if you say it in front of them, maybe they won’t, is in really common usage regardless. Also, it can be used as both a positive or a negative. ‘klebtastic’ seems to be a good thing, otherwise Krel wouldn’t need to sound so sarcastic when he says it sometimes. And while I don’t think ‘shit-tastic’ and ‘awesome’ are really synonymous, we can say that something is ‘the shit’ and it means it’s really really cool.I think this post just doubled the number of times I’ve said ‘shit’ in my entire life. Well, no, maybe just a 25% increase. I feel like I should swear more (could swear more?), but I never picked up the habit and by now I’ve got something of a reputation as a person who doesn’t swear (but doesn’t mind if other people do) so that whenever I do swear it becomes a BIG DEAL, Arch IS NOT PULLING PUNCHES, and that means that I can’t drop it casually without people wondering at the sudden and serious turn the conversation has taken. This whole tangent is so completely not 3Below or kleb related, but I swear so infrequently that I can usually remember specific instances, e.g. fall, 2015 when conversing with a friend, who was describing what someone else had done, and I said that that person’s behavior was really shitty.
