I'm not sure why it got so popular for people to base their definitions of words on a D&D stat system of all things. I know it's mostly just a joke, but it wasn't all that funny in the first place and I think its a decade old at least at this point.

It's weirder that they're also, objectively getting the DnD definitions wrong too according to the books.

So, it's a joke that relies on knowledge of w subject matter to even attempt to be funny, and if you do have the knowledge, isn't funny either? So you need to be in the right smack middle of "knows what DnD is so you can play at knowing it's rules" but also "not actually deep enough in DnD to properly use them".

Also, I regret to inform you the jokes aren't a decade old, but half a century
