Those stakes are so low they're ground beef.
Yeah I mean all we have to do explain that its called a "rollie polly" to the dumbass other peoples
Not a "garden demon" (halflings)
not "shield bugs" (elves)
Not "bugsnax" (goblins)
Nor are they "Black personbugs" (catfolk)
nor even "pill bugs" (the moronic)
what makes catfolk this based?
a general hatred of work and government
The scriptures in the ancient ruins reveal it is called a Woodlouse
>garden demon
Too extreme, hobbits don't name things like that, even if they're bad. Besides, roly-polys are good for gardens
The correct name is Grey Sow you filthy peasant.
frick you i laughed
Took me a second.
Calling a pill bug a "roly-poly" is infantile, like referring to one's navel as a "bellybutton".
>its a pillbug
This is what you look like when you say that
i rollyed in your mother's poly the other day
Do you also refuse to call the holes in your nose nostrils
This poster is 11 years old.
Do you also throw a random when someone describes something as "silly" because it isn't as grown up as "moronic"?
You're not on TVtropes, you don't have to refer to yourself as "this poster."
No 11-year-old is using "one" as an indefinite pronoun.
childish shape-namer vs. the esteemed adult action-namer
Calling a rolly-poly a "pillbug" is entirely reasonable but not my natural term for it and I will not change my language to suit your preferences 🙂
thats a fricking isopod you mongoloid it has one name
>he refers to armored rollers as "pill bug"
>armored roller
thats the dwarven term
Fricking reddit humor.
t. someone who calls them pillbugs
its a wood louse
A cheese log
Lesser Isopod.
It's a rolly polly, I don't understand why some of you are so willfully incorrect.
This is a poor man's skub meme.
>Skubgay needs to make everything about skub
Armadillidium vulgare when precision is required, with various languages and dialects using a number of different common names. Glad we could all settle that so quickly.
Do Americans really pop wood lice in their mouths like pills? That's disgusting...
>Do Americans really pop wood lice in their mouths like pills?
No, like candy. Pills are swallowed, candy is chewed.
if this was true they would be called candybugs you moron
No, that’s the chinese. And they salt them first, like crisps.
I mean, if the damn elves are unwilling to concede in one simple and measly word for the sake of the stability of the realm, do we really want them to have so much representation in the imperial senate? They are clearly using the taxonomy as an excuse to block the human coalition, there’s no way the name of a single forest animal is the red line they claim it is!
my family is the only one in the world that called em butchie boys
They're not anon. I'm assuming you're from Melbourne (or at least Victoria). I have no idea of the origin of the term but seems to be unique to there and widespread, but in competition with the more general Australian slater, which is Scottish (also normal in Northern Ireland and New Zealand). My brother-in-law is from South-Western England and calls them piggy wigs, which I don't think has been mentioned either. Granfer greys is another from that area (Devon iirc).
For the broader discussion, woodlouse is the only English term I'm aware of which isn't (currently at least) a regionalism.
It's a woodlouse. That's it.
Oh neat, a pollie rollie
Terrestrial isopod; it's the most objective and correct term.
>did this homie just refer to a bellybutton a navel??!?
"Roly poly" or any other term that refers to rolling up annoys me because not every species of Oniscidea can actually roll up into a ball.
>Does it roll into a ball?
Yes
>Does it take census?
Yes
Rolly and Polly
Looks like a Kellerassel to me
I used to think these things were milipedes.
Some of them are millipedes.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pill_millipede
Pillipedes.
Well, where I'm from, we call ' em bench biters.
In my country, we call it "Bicho bolita". Is like calling it "Little ball bug"
Vete a la mierda nadie te ha preguntado
that's a potato bug
Ask France about the Pain au Chocolat VS Chocolatine civil war.
You mean the chocolate croissant?
I won't rest until everyone who resists roly-poly has their head on a stake
And as for the ones that can't roll up?
I don't care.
Question:
Do you call the crustacean that rolls up:
>Armadillo Bug
or
Do you call the mammal that rolls up:
>Isopod Rat
???
Raising the banner for #woodlouse gang
it's a frickin slater
Imagine not knowing what wood lice are called.
It's not a louse.
And strawberries aren't berries what's your point?
Seahorses aren't horses.
They're butchy boys.
Buggy Pilly is my favorite aminal!
Cool pillbug!
You guys mean Saw Bugs?
You guy mean Sow Bug?

Are we talking about monkey-peas or Chooky-pegs?
>Regional names for woodlice
Anon please stay on topic we're talking about pillbugs.

Rolly polly
>not knowing what a jigglepig is
I just call them cute. When I was a wee lad pillbugs and harvestman spiders were the only bugs my friends and I loved and wouldn't squish for the world.
>harvestman spiders
I think you mean daddy longlegs spiders, anon.
Thas a dang ol’ black cashew you dingus
They're called bedpissers you uncultured swines
Catamounts have nothing on these guys
Siira
Here they're called slaters.
>that one guy whose banner is a rolled up pill bug seen from the side that looks like the black sun
honestly history is full of stupider reasons for fighting. they are never the real reason for the fighting which usually has some sort of long history of things that this was just the final straw or the excuse to settle vendettas.
there's a ladder that's almost started several small wars in Jerusalem. it's more about the church and it's crazy history who's name escapes me at the moment then the ladder itself but it still has come down to this thousands of years old ladder being moved.
