I'm so hung over

[Blurghh edit]

Yeah, editing this post because it's the first of this thread

THIS is the babble thread and you are free to post all the nonsence you like.
However, keep your babble to this thread only and let's try to keep the rest on-topic.

Why? Simple, if you don't then you will be demoted to either "Peon" or "Pile of Bones", depending on the race of your character.
For those who think I won't actually do it, try me! ;)

The origin of the term "Peon" according to me.

Before they had the names for the units for Warcraft, the folks working at Blizzard were frequently browsing porn on the job (and smoking weed, which explains the colourful and weird outfits those orcs wear!). When typing pron instead of porn, some employee accidentally typed an "e" instead of an "r". Thinking that new word looked cool, it stuck and became the first new rank.

He posted this on a notice board and the first reply to this by another employee was the emote *Grunt* and that is how the second rank was born.

After this, all emotes and roleplay and porn were outlawed at Blizzard,which is why WoW is such a crap game for roleplaying!

You ruined my thread I'm not posting any more

Though I quite like the pron-explanation:

The words peon and peonage are derived from the Spanish peón (pe'on).

In its obsolete usage in Spain itself, the word denoted a person who travelled by foot rather than on a horse (caballero). It now means a chess pawn, or a trompo (a kind of rotating toy or top).
In Spain and other Spanish-speaking countries, especially those in Latin America, where the hacienda system kept labourers from leaving estates, peón has also a range of meanings related to unskilled or semi-skilled work or manual labour, whether referring to a low-status wage earner in a variety of rural and urban industries (especially a day labourer or a servant); a peasant; a bullfighter's assistant, or, historically, someone subject to forms of unfree labour.
