Jacks Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 (edited) Tamaru, actually, back before Lewa spoke treespeak. The animation implies that removing one's mask is a rude or obscene gesture in Matoran culture.

Iblis Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 S: "I am Takanuva..." R: "Toa of Light!" Generally, a shibboleth is mean to be kind of innocuous inconspicuous, there are plenty of exceptions like "Yksi" were the White Guard asked people to say it; if they pronounced it wrong (with /ju/ rather than /y/) they were shot on the assumption they were a Russian fighter etc. Not inconspicuous.But someone can easily have a vague idea about something & guess the right answer... generally isn't an optimal choice for a shibboleth. The main thing is; how are you going to slide "I am Takanuva..." into a conversation?Why not just ask them flat out if they're a fan of Bionicle?It's not really less conspicuous... 4 Quote ~ Sophistry: A way to be antidisuncorrect. ~ In a decade you might convince maybe a small tribe of people. In a decade you might also conquer one million km2 of land, & in over a thousand years you might have over a billion followers. I like building things.

Iblis Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 Piraka rap was horrible, let's pretend it never existed... They won't let us. Although on the off hand that anyone ends up talking about bad rap music dropping "piraka" in amongst some other words carefully might be enough that someone might gloss over the 'gibberish' or click... Not a shibboleth as such but an odd calling card.I swear it'll happen at least once before the world forgets Bionicle xD Quote ~ Sophistry: A way to be antidisuncorrect. ~ In a decade you might convince maybe a small tribe of people.
