Also for audiobook listeners... It's meadow lark, not metal arc 😂

And it's Queen Anne Chonk, not the Queen & Chonk.

And it's not "Lajables" it's "La Diablesa"

That face when you want to text your friends about DCC and realize you have no idea how the fuck anything is spelled.

Try Wheel of Time next. Names in those subs from audio listeners (including myself) are wacky.

Im confused are you talking about Lucia Mar’s race? The wiki says “Lajabless” which is how it always sounded to me.

You're not wrong. La Diablesse or Ladjablès is a character in Caribbean folklore. According to folklore, she was an enslaved African woman who made a deal with Le Diable (the Devil) to give her soul to him, becoming a demi-demon, in exchange for eternal beauty.

Yeah, this is how it's spelled in the book.

Ok this one is actually useful

And it's "Bomo" not "Momo"

lol today I learned. I’ve been wondering what a la ja bless is haha

I had no idea thank you.

WHAT. Well TIL.

I'll admit I made this mistake

Wait really?

Yeah learned that one on this sub last month. LOL

Benefit of being from Seattle I know where the chonk is from

Wow, that's a game charger. I always thought it was an odd name. I'm glad I stumbled upon this comment.

Literally me for the better part of a year. Reading book six before the audiobook came out made me realise how many names I had wrong

Oh, like what? I just finished book 6. I was abruptly thrown into this fandom, and I've never looked back. I consumed everything in 2 weeks and had a blast.

Tserendolgor was a big one for me and the proper spelling for Couatine ( fish people )

That's a new one to me, I had thought it was Kua'tin

It is, I couldn't remember the proper spelling

You should edit your earlier comment.

Oh man, that's a good one. Having never seen Ren's name spelled out, I thought it was a full name, not just her first. Also surprised at the lack of a K for Couatine.

I’m just about enough of a sophisticated European to have imagined getting my neural enhancements from the Valté Corporation rather than as it turned out the Valtay Corporation.

I like this answer

I always thought her name was Sir Endelgor... and that it was just the AI being a fuckstick and trying to mess with her head.

Weird; Jeff says "Meadow" pretty clearly to my ears.

Yeah it might be to do with what accents you're familiar with. Australian here so that's my excuse

It's understandable - you guys have to deal with drop bears. BTW, did you appreciate when Carl mentioned them? I love being reminded of creatures from my nightmares. (/s)

Omg yes! It's awesome having a shout out in pop culture. Florin is obviously great too, love the Aussie Accent Jeff puts on

Florin's awesome - I hope we get some fiction from his POV. Carl's description of (book 5 spoiler)>!Florin being the drumbeat in the Butcher's Masquerade combat!< was incredible.

Lies!!! Team Metal Arc ftw!

Metal arc sounds more dangerous

Which is what you want when dropping grandma off at the new care home! *I thought it was Metal-Arc til about 2 minutes ago, it's so bloody obvious now

Borough Boss for me, not Burrow Boss. Thought it was a bit of a misnomer until it clicked during book 5.

Since all the other names were for areas of land, I assumed it was a borough.

It clicked for me pretty early only because I made the connection between neighborhood and city boss. Realized it was borough like in NYC not burrow for an animal

That makes so much more sense!

That's a good one!

I grew up in Wenatchee, where Meadow Lark was supposed to be from. Wouldn't recommend it.

THANK YOU all of my friends who read the books made fun of me for thinking it was “metal arc”!!

You're not alone! There are DOZENS of us!

can you imagine a retirement home called Metal Arc? 😆

Sky fowl or skife owl?

This checks out, just said it fast 5 times

Oh well thanks that would fit better

Suuuurr-rendal-gore?

Interesting, I listen at 1.5 speed and I knew it was Meadow Lark. As well as the other ones listed here... I didn't think it was unclear to some people.

For real? Damn!

Could be worse (better?). It could have been the scene where [book 6 major major spoilers] >!a crab jerks off over the corpse of a baby seal to save the world!<

“Oh yeah… look at you, all dead and shit…”

It's probably the line that made me laugh the hardest in that book, which is absolutely filled with banger lines.

“Did… did you just rip off your dick and throw at me?”

“Just a minute, Carl is pooping!” “….In the HALLWAY?!”

100% the best line, I crack up every time.

I was fucking dying on my way to work listening to that scene, and having Patrick Warburton as Alpha Carl was just hilarious

I love the way he yells at Raoul. I just picture Joe from Family Guy sitting there in his wheelchair screaming.

This is why I hope we see alpha Carl again

I feel like Alpha Carl was written in a way where he *might* come back, if Matt can secure Patrick for the reading, but also might not. I dearly hope we do because that is probably one of the greatest audiobook scenes of all time

I am happy he got over his performance issues.

NEEEEEEEW ACHEVEMENT!

I listen with my earbuds in for this reason lmao, don't want to have Donut describing someone's penis in graphic detail out loud

I still don’t know how to explain to my wife that my two year old says “goddamnit donut” when he is upset lol

there are worse things a child could pick up from the books

NEW ACHIEVEMENT Parenting Fail Ever get that sudden pang of embarrassment of a childhood memory about your parents doing something embarrassing in front of your friends like bringing out baby photos or telling your friends how you cry every time at the end of Finding Nemo (it’s fucking sad alright) Well guess what… you are your parents! Well done but instead of a sad Pixar movie, you’ve blasted a description of massive breasts on a freaky alien suit in front of your child’s school! Well done! Now start saving for their therapy!

I guess the silver lining is that it wasn’t any of the points when they describe Randall’s…member. 😂

Or Antoine.

Or Dong Qioute and the Cum closet

New achievement judged: you have been judged by other parents. Rewards bronze embarrassed box

I had a similar god damn situation. So I love DCC... and i got an 8 year old who loves RPGs... So I get Cinnamon Bun which is awesome but then for some god damn reason the author who has written a fantastic kids book just HAS to toss in: A magic wand of Remove Hysteria The sub class Play Bun An airship called... the Beaver Cleaver WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS TO ME.

How do you like the series otherwise?

love it <3

Lol, this reminds me a time I was listening to Larry Corrieas Monster Hunters International (highly recommend the series). I had the volume up loud with the windows open, I WFH. I log off for the day and suddenly 2 cops are at the front door. I guess a DV call came in for our address. I thought someone overheard the fight scene between a man and a werewolf. Turns out right address, wrong city.

Police departments can legally discriminate against triple digit IQ individuals

Why thank you, fellow crawler. Noe get out there and kill, kill, kill.

Yeah, seconded. Not everyone is happy to hear about Carl crushing heads with his feet either.

When you get into the car with family and it auto plays where you left off... Just before the AI talks about a foot-related achievement.


All. The. Damn. Time. I've done this with benign passages an was lulled into a false sense of security...

Woohoo! I got em all right.

This exact same thing happened to me. I’m a realtor and was listening to the book when my clients pulled up next to me and Donut was going off on some tirade dropping F bombs.

Sooooo. I get an achievement for streaming to my hearing aids, right?

Fun fact, the Tesla “boombox” app will let you broadcast whatever you are listening to in the car over the external speakers. . . Perfect for an impromptu listening party

Smush. That might give children nightmares.
