I guess you are going for the USA meaning there? Shame, I'd quite like to see our Moles done up in flowery outfits.

It's really good, works like google maps and seems to update much quicker than the in-world map. As an example, all the empty regions you can't see currently, at least on the Shergood map you can click the area and it gives you the region name. link here: http://shergoodaviation.com/radar.php 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had to put that into a translator! For chintzy it gave two German meanings : kitschig (trashy oldfashioned tastless) or knifflig (difficult tricky needing skill to manage) So I guess this is a wordgame?🥺 For some rude and brainless people named the new Victorian style as "chintzy" Edited December 7, 2019 by Leora Jacobus 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raspberry Crystal Posted December 7, 2019 Share Posted December 7, 2019 @Leora Jacobus no, some english person didn't know that chintzy has a meaning outside of victorian style flowery fabric. I am an english person and I didn't know that either. This is chintz 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leora Jacobus Posted December 7, 2019 Share Posted December 7, 2019 (edited) I LOVE that pattern!! Had an IKEA Couch for MANY years with a similar pattern and LOVED it! I knew that "chintz" is also a special fabric but not which. But the word "kitschig" (given to me by several translation machines) is a degrading word for somethin overmuch, overcoloured, trashy, tastless. Obviously the Americans use the word in another meaning - that sometimes gives room to misunderstandings.

Raspberry Crystal Posted December 7, 2019 Share Posted December 7, 2019 Chintzy in english can be insulting, but only as a way of not liking someone's overflowery decorating. Chintz, the proper glazed cotton fabric, is actually quite expensive to buy. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously the Americans use the word in another meaning - that sometimes gives room to misunderstandings. Perhaps a better English synonym for “chintzy” in this case would be “frugal” or “economical”. I think Patch is having a bit of pun fun and using a play on the word “chintzy” because it is also describes a very popular Victorian fabric in the Canadian (North American) English language. @Patch Linden is a clever wordsmith! 😉 Edited December 7, 2019 by BJoyful Missed a word (pun) 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's referencing another thread where the word was used to describe the new theme and I posted a full dictionary definition of the word to call them out for it. As for the definition, it is 95% negative and and barely considered neutral, never positive. As for another person who looked up the word in Wikipedia and compared to Merriam Webster dictionary and came to a neutral conclusion, well, one bad and one not-so-great source, is all I can say.

That larger part is a really nice mix of trads, houseboats and campers. I thought the area here would have been a much bigger land mass eventually (another continent) , but it fits nicely with Bellisseria as it is. I'm beginning to think the next continent will be elsewhere, not nearby. There's another lot of houseboats too below that (just below Moonia, which I swear gets bigger everytime I visit it...), really nice place to have a houseboat if you want somewhere with a great view over water.

I've been thinking, if the LL and the Moles keep making the regions and homes better each time (which in my opinion they are), the first round of homes on Belli will soon become the ones no-one wants lol. (kidding...I'm sure there'll be lots of people who still love them:) ) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
