"Twinks" --- Worse than you think...

[Shazbot]

Why must people use the term "twink" to describe a character that has been given good items found by a different character?

"Twink"
gay slang for:
1. a young man in his early twenties
2: someone under 21.
3. A young, sexually attractive person, who is sexually desirable for there handsome looks and build and not for his intelligence.
4. a homosexual; that is a social outcast.
5: a gay in his twenties or younger, that acts like he has no brain. The type that all the blonde jokes come from.

It is especially funny to read Shimarisu's topic on twinking and hear people say stuff like:

Caecilius: "I've been twinking for god knows how long..."

EvilNixon666: "...I certainly don't feel bad about doing it (twinking)."

KaFKa: "...I twinked my HUcast..."

I seriously want to find who created that word and have them royaly twinked by elton john. When I first saw it I thought they were mis-spelling tweak, which makes a hell of more since to me. I to this day refer to it as "tweaking" rather than the 'minty' term we all know.

*Cheers to a good point made well*

thats why i use tweaking... like tweaking a pc... it makes more sense in the first place *shrugs*

[Fojar]

as far as i know the term they use in pso came from everquest.

(giving a char a weapon, or item from a different char)

I didn't expect a word like this would have a double meaning.

[EvilNixon666]

Me, I just don't give a damn.
So many words have multiple meanings, especially slang.

You must be very bored.

Also, no one in your quotes used the term "twink." I believe it was referred to as "twinking" each and every time. So find us all the kinky slang for that one, would you? Now I'm bored.

Does this topic really have any real point other than make a joke out of the word twink?

Not really.
