its funny how they dunk on travis for not giving adjectives and griffin says 'up'

[@seanthebluesheep]

What, you're saying up can't be used as a visual reference? You've never asked where something was and been told "look up"? The question asker's question was what words come to mind when thinking of birds visually. You are a buffoon, a clown, and an all-round klutz. Shame on you, shame on your family, and shame on those who thought you honorable.

[@NomadicArchives]

Sean Rea it’s not an adjective though

[@YpsylonFunMagazine]

@@seanthebluesheep Travis says "beak" and they both make fun of him, even though birds do have beaks. however, "up" was accepted without question. seeing how they both are not adjectives, how is "up" a more acceptable answer than "beak"? is beak not a more bird related word? all birds have beaks, but not all birds can fly. all im saying is i think griffin is misusing his power. thank you for coming to my ted talk

[@seanthebluesheep]

@@YpsylonFunMagazine Travis should not have been silenced either.

[@gayplasma]

Griffin said friggin "worms". He has no leg to stand on judging the others' bird words

[@24601st]

he can because no one challenged him

[@gildahobbs8829]

THANK YOU I don't support Griffin's self-assigned authority to deny the others' suggestions

[@TheMrVengeance]

@@TBLIVIN - Why though. Describe a bird visually. Birds have beaks. What's wrong with beak?

[@TheMrVengeance]

@@TBLIVIN - Ehh.. yes, they can? That's literally a category of nouns called *attributive nouns.* 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@TheMrVengeance]

@@TBLIVIN - Humans don't have lips? You can't look at a human and see that a descriptive feature of their appearance is that they have lips?

[@camirobinson9237]

how did you make a bird look exactly like clint mcelroy

[@FraserConnell]

Hahaha! Thank god someone noticed it was Clint :p

[@Scarybug]

Griffin not allowing "dinosaurs" was a crime against cladistic monophyletic taxonomy.

[@athenabrown3117]

@drew13600 Yes they are! They are under the classification dinosaurae! You fool!

[@chipperchameleon84]

Scarybug thank you! If anything they could have said dinosaur-like

[@mozarteanchaos]

@WungusBill dogs evolved from mammals but are Still mammals birds evolved from dinosaurs but are Still dinosaurs you cannot evolve out of a clade, thats not how it works thank u for coming 2 my ted talk

[@NinaNooneknows]

"Dinosaurian" should've been a-okay, you could even argue that it implies they are dinosaur-like if not true dinosaurs.

I think he did say "You guys don't know what adjectives are" or something to that effect. Maybe the wording was slightly different, but I definitely did get the impression he was talking about both of them
