... so what's the word? C'mon folks, don't hold out on us like that

Usually because it's indicative of a lack of vocabulary that's supposed to diminish with age. It's broadly speaking a failure for an adult to not know the actual word for whatever, in their language. There's exceptions for when the language legitimately doesn't have a word for said whatever, but unsurprisingly enough those exceptions decrease over time. Other set when it's particularly obscure, too, but eh. Can also be considered as trying to disrupt or intentionally muddle communication with someone, which often held as immature at best (because you're intentionally miscommunicating, something that is rather disrespectful of the person you're talking to, a behavior that adults are supposed to have outgrown) or malicious at worst (i.e. attempting to confuse someone, something easily construable as hostile). Probably other stuff, too. There's usually a good handfuls of various reasons (of varying legitimacy) behind this kind of thing.

If it's in a more playful sense, well, that's mostly a continuation of the common adult affliction of being under the grotesque illusion of having outgrown illusion. For some mad reason it's a common cultural thing for adults to disdain fun things that younger individuals also find fun, so unstructured wordplay is seen as childish, or at the least directed towards a young audience. Exceptions there, too, particularly with poetry, but *shrugs*

Let it not be said that consistency is a virtue oft practiced by mankind.

It's the best kind of silly, though. The kind that gives you cyborg bears so your tib spawn can wear them as a hat.

And Kane lives, indeed. The prophet himself is running for VP, folks. History in the making. The first POTUS gaming joke handed to us on a silver platter.

But if we back Trump we can have APA mk 1, 2 and Hellfire PA, so shouldn't we do that?

Unless someone can find the BoS candidate for this election, because they'd have my vote in a picosecond.

Cyborg bears, NFO. Cyborg. Bears. Fallout's got some nice stuff but I know which techbase I'm putting my support behind. Peace through Power, me hearties!

One day you will get to choose between Stalin and Hitler....

And that day will be a glorious day for SCIENCE, for we will have conquered both death and the vagrancies of time travel. Presumably we would be making bets for the week's latest episode of Fantasy POTUS Deathmatch, where we massively abuse the laws of nature for our gruesome amusement.

What else would he press the button with anyway?

Do you really want that question answered? Are you sure?

Maybe, but with who? And does judges robes and a wig count as the wizard robe and hat?

OMG

"No wonder you have been fighting ISIS your entire adult life."

I did not expect this.

I keep telling you hoopy bastards there's chronospheres involved in all this nonsense. When the cyborg bears come crawling out of the river, don't come crying to me.
