Do you use furry "lingo"?

If, and when, I use furry lingo, it's to make fun of it.

You have no idea how relieved I am that I'm not the only one who dislikes the lingo, that being said, if you do use lingo, I don't have a problem

I agree that it is important to choose an appropriate setting. Many furs are less that "openly" furry in public. If your are one of these people who sees a need to draw attention to your furriness with these words at the expense of the comfort others, all you're going to do is make those of us who are more reserved want to spend less time with you. That said, I have been known to use phrases like "waves paw" in an online setting, but never to a very great degree. That's just my thought on the matter

Furry lingo, to me, seems rather silly since in most cases it is just reinventing the wheel. It's just creating an alternate vocabulary that in no way enriches the meanings attributed to them. Adding fur to words or using words like 'yiff' just seems artificial, like being different to force a difference between one realm and the other.

I only tend to use furry lingo around other furs, for me stuff like claws and scales, I got a few more naughty reference I like to whip out time to time. I guess it depends on the person and how really into associating as their species they are. Some people, like myself, walk around with the full on notion that "This is actually me inside, I am a ________ and I will refer to myself as such" so then the whole lingo thing really is just an extension of someone being more connected with who they see themselves as. Just as a human can go "holy dude... my hands are freezing.. and my feet, oh ffff" a fox can go "holy.. man my paws are freezing off.... my foot paws are now icicles!" I personally don't see that as annoying, that's just part of being in this fandom, We didn't come here to be boring.


BUT, I do draw a distinction between just being your furry/scaly/feathery self and just being one of those guys who trys to cram the word Fur into everything... the kinda guy who goes "Hey Furiends, man did I have a Furtastic day today. Was driving my Furd Tempo, having fun just cruising till I thought of my Fur-oomate and how he would not Furking clean the dishes, now im Furryious" Those kinda people really just get annoying trying to re-write the dictionary to be all furry-fied words.
