/c/TenFoward: Your home-away-from-home for all things Star Trek!

Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.

~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Remember that diversity and coexistence are Star Trek values. Any post/comments that are racist, anti-LGBT, or generally "othering" of a group will result in removal/ban.

~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.

~ 3. Use spoiler tags. This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it's free game.

~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.

~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.

~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.

~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon'

~ 8. No Political Upheaval. Political commentary is allowed, but please keep discussions civil. Read here for our community's expectations.

Fun will now commence.

MontalbΓ‘n, as Khan, on the john, clothes on.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 hours ago

Or the pan, rhymes as well as john

[–] [email protected] 31 points 2 days ago (1 children)

On the john. OOOOOOOOH. I felt like a complete moron for not being able to figure it out. Thanks!

One cannot be expected to known every slang term for a shitcan.

There’s just so many.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

I think it's mainly the fact that the words don't really rhyme. Khan and John are pronounced slightly differently so most people wouldn't make that connection.

Khan on a Jahn

The number of people who don't get it is about right.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago

Khan in a Salon?

Aug on the clog?

[–] [email protected] 12 points 2 days ago

The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the poo.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 2 days ago (2 children)

I suspect this might depend on the variety of English you speak? (And non-natives can fuck right off lΓΆl)

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 days ago (2 children)

I think you need to speak the American dialect specifically.

As I Brit I could not get this one at all until I came to the comments. I was thinking Kahn on the loo. Kahn on the big. Kahn on the toilet.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

As an American I was doing similarly, just with different phrases (like "porcelain throne":-).

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I was thinking Khan on the Khazi

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 days ago

Kahn on the crapper

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 days ago (1 children)
[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Yeah, that doesn't rhyme at all in my head. I can see how it would though, I just have to rewire my brain to hear it.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

How do you pronounce those words to make them rhyme? Khon? Jahn?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I don't pronounce them like that at all but I've heard "john" be pronounced with a long "ah" sound, like "jawwwwn" or "jaaaaahn" to rhyme with "Khan". I don't know, I don't even go here (non-native).

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago

Non native too, trying to learn. English weirdos.
