I went and made some O RLY versions of a couple of my userpics, in Maltese (well... kind of) and Greek.

Not cutting since they're not that big, but if that causes problems, let me know and I'll add one anyway.

  O RLY? YA RLY! NO WAI!
Maltese GĦURIELI? JAGĦRIELI! NGĦUWEJ!
Greek ΑΛΙΤΗΙΑ ΛΑΙΣ; ΜΑ ΒΕΒΕΑ! ΜΕ ΔΟΥΛΑΙΒΟΙΣ!

I actually rather like the "jagħrieli" one -- it looks almost as if it could be a real verb form (j- prefix for third person imperfective, and -ieli perhaps from an -a ending + -li "for me") of some nonexistent verb *għara or the like.

O RLY? YA RLY! NO WAI! (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/O_RLY%3F) DaSov'a'? (DaSovbe'chugh, *Wikipedia ghItlh DalaDpu'DI' yIchegh.)

The Maltese are basically just writing "Oh really? Yeah, really! No way!" in Maltese phonetic spelling; amusing enough for me.

The Greek ones say "Are you telling the truth? But of course! You're kidding me!" with sorta-similar spelling mistakes to the canonical English "O RLY? YA RLY! NO WAI!". (Correct spelling would be ΑΛΗΘΕΙΑ ΛΕΣ; ΜΑ ΒΕΒΑΙΑ! ΜΕ ΔΟΥΛΕΥΕΣ! or in mixed case with accents, Αλήθεια λες; Μα βέβαια! Με δουλεύεις!)

Hey, I think I saw someone use the "Ghurieli" one in a support request the other day (and it confused me because the requestor wasn't you ;))

That would be [livejournal.com profile] ma_nifhimx -- an alternative account I created the other day for (maybe) writing in Maltese in.

So it was me, in a way.

I submitted the request from the account that was having problems so that the diagnostics would match.

OH. I'm a lot less confused now *grin*. (And that makes sense).

GAH
