Dive Deep into Creativity: Discover, Share, Inspire
Okay, so I’ve recently realized that us Gothamites have developed the world’s most bizarre vernacular and literally no one outside the city can understand half the stuff we say. As such, in an attempt to be helpful I’ve put together a few examples with translations and sometimes origins:
Riddle me this (do I need to explain this? when you want someone to explain something)
Flip a coin (not used the way other people use it - it serves as more of a abstract threat about getting mad eg. “Don’t make me flip a coin!”)
Pull a Harley (fall in love way too deeply way too quickly)
More [something] than scars (when there is a large amount of [something] - because have you ever looked at Zsasz?)
Like finding Alice (used when something’s hard to find - it’s the equivalent of the saying “Like finding a needle in a haystack”)
Get umbrella-ed (get murdered, usually specifically mob-related; named for that infamous incident when Penguin killed a dude with an umbrella)
To add on from what I’ve heard •Getting hatter-ed (Being manipulated or controlled by someone. “Dude that chick has got you hatter-ed") •We’re going into the sewers (Doing something stupid) • What’s the gas? (What’s the problem. Because of our Asylum pals love for chemical weapons it can be hard to figure out toxin it is.) • Basil Karlo (Copycat- Basil Karlo is Clayface who is known for “Riddle me this”. I’ve also heard Jane Doe, which means the same thing, but not as popular. ) • Masked (Being shady or two-faced, sense the latter isn’t exactly the smartest thing to say) • You’re laughing (Another way of saying you’re crazy) • Throwing lightning bolts (Being overdramatic or exaggerating, inspired by Maxie Zeus)
