lol
in all seriousness though would somebody who is viking at internet please get on a script that'll allow us to add a "hide all posts by people who voted 'A' in the 'where I'm a viking' poll" option to our settings? will improve user experience for 65% of the board

just wanted to talk about the word emphasis after watching it on youtuberalph says "SLEEP! Thats where I'M a VIking" - I used to hear this pattern all the time with my kids, it indicates that they think they are, or at least are pretending to be something ( I'M a RObot, I'M a COOL girl, I'M a MONster ): equal emphasis on I'm and Viking, implying equivalence.compare that to the metaphorical use, which would usually be "i'm a MONSTER", "i'm a VIKING", ie all the emphasis on the metaphor.― tomofthenest, Friday, April 30, 2010 4:47 AMBut Ralph's voice isn't done by a real kid rather than an adult.― Tuomas, Friday, April 30, 2010 4:58 AM

au contraire mon frere, sorry to break it to you but NAGL has been misused by generations of ILXORs, in fact it is used to describe a situation in basketball where a player forces a shot without getting a good look at the basket, hence it is 'not a [good look]', sorry to break it to you but you've been committing malapropisms for your entire ILX life
