Real goths don’t buy expensive goth stuff. All you need is the attitude and a color palette* to match your soul.

Palette. A pallet holds bricks and a palate tastes food

I bet I could hold some bricks with a palette too. I mean, it's basically just a plate for your paint. 🤷🏻‍♂️

I'm picturing now competitions in which people compete to see how many bricks at once they can carry on a palette X number of feet

Now I kinda wanna prompt an AI to give me a picture of an extremely large Bob Ross using a pallet as his palette.

This is what I get for using speech to text and pressing send.

Palette sounds too french for my English soul

[–] roguetrick 2 points 6 months ago (1 children)

They're all from French. Pallet comes from a a word for straw, palette for shovel, and palate for the top of the mouth.

Also French, from "small ball." Originally Latin pilla, meaning it's twinned with pill. Pill came direct from Latin though, so no weird French influences.

Damn the French!

"no true Scotsman", sounds so bland.

Read it again: some

I've now tagged you as the Goth Gatekeeper. I'd love to see your credentials.

[–] 555 -1 points 6 months ago (1 children)

I don’t have to prove anything to you.

[–] Flummoxed 2 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Neither does OP of this thread, and yet you judged him. Hypocrite.

[–] 555 0 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Everyone here is having a good time cracking jokes about being goth… except for you. Go back to hot topic.

[–] Flummoxed 0 points 6 months ago (1 children)

You just can't help but be judgmental, can you. Points because you're right: everyone but you enjoyed thread OP. And maybe you did too, but you chose to basically shit on OP because of the Goth equivalent of "no true Scotsman." Not seeing anyone laughing with you here, just around you.

Don’t pick fights where there are no fights. Bye.
