191: Lojban
| Lojban |
 Title text: zo'o ta jitfa .i .e'o xu do pendo mi |
[edit] Explanation
Lojban is an constructed language designed to be logical, unambiguous, and culturally neutral. The authors originally designed it as an experiment, but a few people have picked it up and tried to learn it. However, anyone actually willing to learn Lojban is someone Black Hat would rather avoid. The basic premise here is that Lojbanists are nerds, which the Lojban community is well aware of.
Clicking on the original comic brings you to a Lojban translation of the comic.
The title-text is also written in Lojban. It translates roughly as: "That was a joke. Really. Wanna be friends with me?"
[edit] Transcript
- Cueball: If you learned to speak Lojban, your communication would be completely unambiguous and logical.
- Black Hat: Yeah, but it would all be with the kind of people who learn Lojban.
