Wolfscripting
Wolfscripting is something many, many role players do these days. Sad thing is, a lot of them don't mean to nor know they're even doing it at all...they just see others using them, ask what they mean (or guess), get told that it means something different, (Example: "What does 'brujo' mean?" "Oh, it means a male canine, like a wolf." "Oh, thanks.") then begins using it; because they believe that it means something else, and don't bother to look it up or anything. Who would? You'd think that you could trust someone that was using it, wouldn't you?

What is Wolfscripting?
'Wolfscript' is actually similar to chatspeak; both have the main population of the people using them being n00bs; and even though some obviously are unaware of the fact that the words they are using may not exist, or mean something entirely different than what they think they do, some DO know that they mean many different things or do not exist, and say that it is considered "cool", and makes them seem more "advanced".

'Wolfscripter' is a word used to describe someone who is using a word to describe something that means something completely different than what they think it does, or are using it for.

Take 'Fae' for example. Like almost ALL of the words in the wolfscript dictionary, this word was created to be used with a false meaning by wolf role players, and copied into a virtual pet role play, or even occasionally used in a modern human role play and any others.

'Fae', in wolfscript, means "female canine/wolf"; pretty much a female canine.
If you look it up, the word 'Fae' (VERY often mis-spelled as "fea") has nothing to do with a canine OR the female gender, and is actually an 'explosive device', a 'bomb', if you will.

The wolfscript word "Brute" is also over-used a lot, meaning "Male canine/wolf", and I've seen some use it for male virtual pets that are beastlike or other animals like lions, tigers and so on. The true meaning for it is just "Beast", "Animal" or "Something that is Brutal", so when someone uses "Brute", it could mean anything, and they really didn't tell you what gender their pet was, nor what species it was; as a 'beast' is sometimes associated with the word 'animal' in general, and there are quite a lot of animals out there. Technically, virtual pets aren't animals at all, but wolves are, so this word /does/ fit in a wolf role play; although it's very undescriptive.
It doesn't even tell you that the character being used is a wolf. A 'brute' could be a bear, a buffalo, or even a lion or something; and still, it could be female, because there ARE female animals and "beasts".
I would still consider a 900-pound FEMALE tiger a 'brute', wouldn't you?

Actually, I once had a lupe/draik hybrid that was nearly six feet tall and a good 1,200 pounds, because she was half draik; or dragon.

She was called Chamwi, and how I longed to use the word "brute" to describe her in a role play.
It was the perfect description for her; she was a beast. She was brutal, and she was a wild animal that loved nothing more than to maim and kill something for the sheer 'fun' of it.
It just fit. So, one time, I decided to go ahead and try it.
Wolfscipt having its own meaning or not, I knew the true meaning, and thought I'd use it anyway.
WHAT a horrible mistake. x__X
The whole role play was ruined because I had three female lupes hitting on and flirting with my- yes, FELLOW female lupe; and they all thought she was male, because I said the word 'brute' to describe her; despite the several "her"s and "she"s mentioned in the introduction as well.

They were so used to people using "Brute" to describe a male canine that they didn't bother to see she mentioned "she"s and "her"s in my post, just saw she was darigan and seemed cool in the role play, and, having narrow-minded love-sick despies for role players, each wanted to make her their own personal butt-monkey.

Needless to say, one noticed she was female and apologized, the others just removed the "You're really cool and cute" links to her off of their lookups and left the role play; I'm assuming deleting the whole thing from their memories out of embarassment.

So yes, wolfscript CAN be annoying and very confusing if you're using the word for the true definition and someone else thinks you're a wolfscripter and knows the false meaning, but...well, here's a few more wolfscript words to watch out for. I'll try to do my best to describe them correctly...

Wolfscript WordWhat They Use It ForWhat It Really Means

(All of these 'she lifts her maw' or 'she licked his maw' just frightens me if people are sticking their bellies up or licking peoples' stomachs..)
