Talk:Coinage

I have two issues with this article. First of all, I think it would fit better in an article called "Terminology" rather than Coinage. Additionally, I am quite sure it is spelt "Aks" and not "Axe". Axe is something different. True though, that "Aks" is homophone with "Axe". --SvipTalk 04:29, 8 May 2008 (PDT)

Well, I named it "Coinage" because they were words/phrases that were coined by the creators. It was sort of a pun or whatever. But if we wanna move it, go for it. Though I personally don't like "Terminology" either... Perhaps "Y3K Colloquialisms" ... or something... vocabulary? Glossary? I don't know... --Buddy 01:01, 4 August 2008 (CEST)

Expansion tag

Do we really need that? I mean, it's getting larger all the time. And it'll always have room for more. --Buddy 00:59, 4 August 2008 (CEST)

I think it is appropriate to remove. --SvipTalk 02:00, 4 August 2008 (CEST)

Entry: Ambergris

Believe it or not, people actually do (or did) use a substance from the digestive tract of sperm whales as an ingredient for fragrances in the real world! (See e.g. Wikipedia's entry on ambergris ) So I guess "ambergris" shouldn't be on a list of words coined by the creators of the series. --Prof. Heizer 14:22, 7 September 2008 (BST)

That's a valid point, I just removed that section. --SvipTalk 14:45, 7 September 2008 (BST)
I knew it was a thing; who said I didn't?! I don't think they use it anymore, though. PETA and whatnot. If that link doesn't lead to an article, it should. Someone get on that. --Buddy 23:47, 7 September 2008 (BST)
More like AETH. --SvipTalk 23:54, 7 September 2008 (BST)
