u know, after all this time you'd think i'd know but i don't... what the heck does "nocando" mean anyway and where did the phrase come from?

It came from the forum language filter, which substitutes words on a black list with '[nocando]'.
If I type bas.tard sword without the period, the result is; [nocando] sword.

i used tot hnik it was nocondu, some language like Dutch, but then I learned it was no can do! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shame.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/silly.gif" alt="" />


its a true story!

the only Dutch word I know is 'Drol'. which in English iirc is a [nocando]

nocando = no can do = No, I cannot do that because you have a filthy mouth and you deserve a spanking! (See, talk dirty and you get a spanking! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />)

It took me sometime to understand what it means because every time I want to use a bad word, I by myself put some ##@#. And I was seeing in the others posts that thing and I was thinking what is this? Is it a special word? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/think.gif" alt="" />

After a little time in here I figured <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />

Some people do not use symbols for the bad words so the admin. of the forum makes sure that we use polite language to each other <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shhh.gif" alt="" />

I think that this is very nice because there probably kids reading this forum too.

Well done Larians <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/up.gif" alt="" />

Results of this language filter are often hilarious. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/delight.gif" alt="" /> We in Germany have a normal word used in everyday language, which exits in the english language with a totally different meaning - and it's rude there.

You've made me curious. Please let me know what word Alrik <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" /> (pm it or so)

I am curious too. Could you please pm to me too Alrik ?

could you pm it to me too pls Alrik? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />

ic... i used to read it as "nocando" pronounced "no.candoh"...


maybe there should be a "nocando" bonus armorset in riftrunner or divdiv2 as an easter egg? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/silly.gif" alt="" />

what?
no candy? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />

is it the shortform of richard? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />
or is it the opposite of thin? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />
anyway....where's the candy?
It's almost Halloween!

<img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/stupid.gif" alt="" /> Boo! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/evilgrin1.gif" alt="" />

I am still waiting for someone to give a hint of the German nocando word! Come'on! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shhh.gif" alt="" /> I won't tell! Promise! Mslynx, acting innocent...

tell me, I can guess what it means

There are items in the General Store in Verdistis called "Donotuse". <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/delight.gif" alt="" />

u know what alrik, i must admit i'm curious myself... mind pmming that word to me as well? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />


<img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/offtopic.gif" alt="" /> intresting that i read "donotuse" as kindova "slow" pronounciation of donuts... "dohnot'uh's"... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/silly.gif" alt="" /> however, without the quotation marks i see it as "do not use" <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/silly.gif" alt="" />

shame u cant buy some. is it some kind of trail bomb

I'll try to give you a hint. Translate the english word "fat" into german. One of the possible translations give you a word what have a complite different sense in english. It starts with a "d". <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/evilgrin1.gif" alt="" />

It's the same word used in the famous book title "Moby [nocando]". <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />

ROTFL ! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/delight.gif" alt="" /> Flash is right ! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/delight.gif" alt="" />

Der weisse Wal. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/delight.gif" alt="" />

It's the same in Dutch btw. (The prenounciation is.)
<img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />

Good call! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/delight.gif" alt="" />

Yeah it was a very smart way to tell, but not tell... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/evilgrin1.gif" alt="" />

or you could have did a search option <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
i can remember alrik telling it in another thread <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

so do I, a chat english thread, maybe the "have we done dirty jokes allready" or the "censorship" one?

one of the older ones, but I remember I saw it so <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/think.gif" alt="" />

Yep.
It's been told before.

Maybe on the old forum?
<img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/think.gif" alt="" />

Look here: Censored words.

Thank you, Barnabus

It's just like you to remember that topic, eh?
<img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/evilgrin1.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/delight.gif" alt="" /> (just kiddin' <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" /> )

At least it's cleared up now.
<img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

So, it sounds like something phalic? LOL <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />
