Dear Princess Sunbutt

Letter 99

Dear Princess Celestia,

Today I learned that there is a difference between girls and grils. I always thought Anon was saying and spelling the word incorrectly to be silly, but they are actually different words, with grils being a subset of girls in the human lexicon.

Girl retains the definition we are all familiar with; gril expands upon it. In other words, all grils are girls, but not all girls are grils. It depends entirely on one’s familiarity with and attractiveness to the “speaker,” if you will.

For example, there are two ponies that are complete strangers to me. Pony A finds me attractive, and Pony B doesn’t. I would be a gril to Pony A, but a girl to Pony B. If I am familiar with the two ponies, then I would only be a girl to both of them, never a gril, regardless of attraction.

I hope I’m explaining this well. The way Anon’s species uses language is so complex and interesting. I might create my own dictionary of human words soon. I’ll make a copy for you when it’s finished.

Your faithful student,
Twilight Sparkle

Anon refuses to write this because he wouldn't be able to keep a straight face as Twilight was dictating it.

I'm sure there's a prank in this, but I don't understand it.

1.) You're not explaining it well
2.) I would not even think about the second part all things considered.

Actually, gril is a legitimate slang term. It's short-hand for "Best Girl", and is a couple levels below Waifu. Twilight transcribed it pretty much accurately, because a gril is a girl you cherish above all others.

... ... ... I don't know how to respond to this chapter like at all. I'ma sleep on it.

I think the best part of that book will be the notes on the English lexicon taking up the first 5 volumes

Five would be generous considering that its Twiggles we're talking about

You're making it sound like they'll replace the moon with the Death Star xD

...Do not show this Twilight the "Star Wars" films. She will actually do that and poor Luna will be out of a job.

[fenril]

Anon trying to explain Urban dictionary terms to Twilight sounds like an explosive combination.

[EntropyEntropy]

This seems like the one thing that Anon would love at first but then despise.... Equestria taking on his lingo.

he already did back in letters 38 & 39

[Level Dasher]

I don't know if Equestria is ready for their own Urban dictionary...
On a different note... What's coming up for letter 100? A novel by Twilight with Anon as the ghost writer?

Not quite

[Exaxxion]

A small part of me is hoping that anon has accidentally or on purpose cat called Celestia with the term and this will lead to a spiraling awkward confusion from both of them

[vinyldash23]

how do I put my fucked up thoughts into words at this point?
