I thought it was cute. Although, I have to admit my ignorance and ask: what is a plebe? Really, I don't know, and everyone uses the word and just... well. I am blesséd in my ignorance. I did try playing around with it and inserting different things, and the only other answer I could make it give me was "BNF in denial." Seeing as I was accused of that only yesterday, I think there may be truth to be found in strange places.

A plebe is someone who's uncivilized. In Flemish it is anyway, it might be something else in English.

I deny everything

Plebe: short for plebeian, the 'common man'. A plebe is generally someone who can't spell, has a terrible plot, makes her/his characters completely OOC, and generally makes a mess of a fic. To plebe a fic means to take parts of the dialogue and misspell it terribly. To translate to and from plebe. The language of typos. Non words like 'ur' and 'gud' and 'drako' and so forth are part of the plebe vocabulary, as if inserting digits for letters. You get the idea. [Coined by Aspen.]

There you go ^_^

I found the third rather amusing. Of course it's the only one I read but that's so not the point ^_^

Oh, fucking marvellous. I'm a plebe queen. And all because I have such a round number on my friends list (66, isn't that nice? it's not like it's 666, which I would admit had regrettable connotations) and my favourite HP character is Remus Lupin (whose isn't? he's got a tortured past, an incurable highly contagious disease,and a sense of humour!) and just... blah. gamesiplay was right, I work better as a BNF in denial.
