What if we referred to an album as an "alb"? I think it has a lot of potential to be the hip new music slang. What do you guys think?
>>63430709
sounds awkward and clunky
sounds like a hot new meme
I don't like it
we'll continue to use album
patrician council dismissed
>>63430719
It's one syllable shorter than what you'd be saying anyhow. What would be an improvement?
>>63430752
That's not how the patrician council works. :^)
>>63430709
It's no good but we could have a compromise and move on to a.l.b.
>>63430709
You'd be ejected from the patrician council for asking such an embarrassing question, if you were actually in it.
>>63430752
Hear, hear
>>63430790
The use of periods is completely arbitrary and implies abbreviation where there is none. I don't think this is better.
>>63430816
shhh, I'm incognito.
>>63430790
"let's compromise by making things worse for everyone involved"
you'd be a great politician, anon
>>63430719
this is why it should be alby. sounds like a cute nickname and rolls of the tongue
you check out Yee's new alby? :3
>>63430827
But that's the point
False abreviation as well as being longer than the original word it was meant to replace
>>63430867
Yeah I like this. I think alby has potential. Thoughts?
>>63430887
Letter u is essential
>>63430905
But how would it be incorporated?
>>63430887
Undecided but I'm glad we've got people getting to the bottom of this.
What does /mu/ think of "albé"?
Jesus Christ kill yourselves, all of you.
>>63431154
Someone's cranky from too many albys!
>>63431154
lol
rude

>>63430752
Patrician council has spoken folks.
>>63431612
I'm one of the heads of the inner oligarchy of the Council and I say that alby is wonderful
>>63431704
Voting alby.
>>63430709
Abbreviatons of that sort are all ugly and forced. They're only used by people who want to appear very knowledgeable on the subject, as if they have to pronounce the word so boringly often they have to abbreviate it.
>>63432593
This isn't an abbreviation though, just a contraction of a preexisting term.
al' is better than alb or alby imo
>>63432703
It's a shortened version of a word. 'Brevus' literally means 'short' in Latin.
patrician here, I believe we should refer to them as "bums"
>>63432713
Let's just call it 'a'. This is all beyond cringe.
>>63432783
That's really not lending to a constructive solution, anon.
>>63432814
we really need to begin calling albies " ".
>>63432809
ngl (not going (to) lie I can get behind this.
>>63432821
>Album
Here's your constructive solution. If you cannot spare that extra syllable, just don't talk at all. Creating jargon on purpose is like people giving themselves nicknames.
>>63432911

If you're not focused on getting to the bottom of this, why even contribute?
>>63432809
seconding this
>>63432911
>he's so autistic that he's taking this seriously
I'm only using alby from now on
>>63432976
I contribute by saving you from your own plebeian tendencies
>>63432809
I agree with this or albies
>>63432911
Nothing wrong with that, dude
alby/albies is cute as hell. Good work, council.
>>63432809
Bum of the year
Top 10 bums of the 1990's
The artist released 3 bums in one year
Rate this bum and rec more like it
How are we gonna shorten Extended Play? I was thinking E-Play or Exy
>>63432809
I will never refer to an "album" as anything but a "bum" from now on.
Will be great for fart fetishists, as they can say the favorite bum they've heard is X's.
patrician here, this is unacceptable.
>>63430752
/thread
>>63434227
When you say "their first bum is better than their most recent bum" it makes it sound like they have a chronic addiction to bum implant surgery
>>63434283
Yeah, the council has acknowledged alby/albies. We've gotta figure out EP's now.
>>63434218
Thoughts on eepy?
>>63434491
>eepy
damn thass cute
>>63434516
Yeah, I'm voting eepy. Constituents are welcome to pitch alternative options.
>>63434516
but t-thats just a homophone/nym/whatever...
>>63434626
>nym
Nice
>>63434491
>>63434516
casting my vote for "eepy"
Greetongs
I'm the trout in the cover of TMR, we should call albums "trouts" and EPs "beefs".
The trout has spoken, now go home.
