I saw the other post where lots of people said the name "Forgetful Was Uh" funny and i don't really get it? What is so special about the word "was"? Plz help.

Most of the people with names like that are probably ritualists.

"was" because that person is died. In fact with item spells you're holding his/her ashes.

The funny with it is that it means a person, who is now dead, who was very forgetful. He, or she, was so forgetful that he/she could not even remember his/her own name. And combine that with the usual ritualist skills, like Destructive Was Glaive, where the name comes last, and the describing word comes first.

<adjective> Was <Name>. Therefor its funny with "Forgetful Was Uh".

"Curious Was George" was probably the funnies name I ever saw in my 4 years.

Of The Jungle Was George?

There you go.

It was funny.

Now it has been explained, however, it is no longer funny.

Funny was joke.
