The fix to this is always translate everything you say in game to Groot.

I Am Groot.

something about people saying “Outlands” makes me want to punch fluffy animals.

is there some law that if a thing doesn’t have an acceptable abbreviation, the word must be made needlessly longer?

I really enjoy running around Orbis on my enchantment shaman. Sometimes I switch to restro to hear the watery spell sounds because they are soothing.

How do you shorten the name of this herb on Legion: Fjarnskaggl? And how do you pronounce it?

Because they can’t spell worth feces?
See also “Orbios” and “Slyvanas” and “rouge.”

I’m Australian.

I’m pretty sure it is illegal for us to say words with 3 syllables and not change it somehow to make it shorter.

Crap. Cops might show up. Used too many syllables.

In a post about not using too many. I can’t even claim ignorance.

I’ve never seen, or heard anyone call it “Orbis” until a couple hours ago with that parody thread, so I just assumed that was an intentional part of the trolling.

I do sometimes call it Ori-borialus just because it sounds funny.
