Assume a QWERTY keyboard and a right-handed typist. The typist wants to produce some gibberish text, so they move their hand forward and left. They press a line of keys.

ASDFGHJKL

First, the ring finger connects with F, being long enough to compensate for its distance from the keyboard.
This is immediately followed by the little finger pressing G
The index finger presses S, but the middle finger, curled more than the others, takes enough time that F triggers again before D.
Now the hand is pulled back, but pivots to left, allowing the index finger to activate S once more.

What? That doesn't make sense, either.

Why would a right-handed typist be typing nonsense characters with his right hand on the left side of the keyboard?

...because he has things to do with his let hand, obviously.

when i need to type jibberish i drag my hand (either hand) quickly from left to right, sometimes with turns and spirals tossed in, so that the arc ends on the enter key, immediately sending the IM or forming a newline:

stgiyj'pl
dtxgfu
sdfrgyj;l'

otydrdxcfgjkpoiuytersdfgvhj[]\

and so on.

So you often need to type gibberish at a moments notice. Why, are you a regular RPG.net contributor?

Nope, but I use Pidgin a lot and people say a lot of stupid stuff. With many of them, I find it easier to just throw jibberish back at them than try to articulate a proper scathing response.

fgsfds is a very old 4chan /b/ meme, and is completely meaningless. It's turned into a reaction image for something bewildering or nonsensical, because it is a nonsensical meme.

Well, if it wasn't meaningless, it wouldn't be a /b/ meme, now would it?

BTW Lokathor, you can usually look this kind of crap up on Urban Dictionary.

psssssssh, like I'd look something up ever.

Though really, I think something in the 'simple and says what the game is about' category is best. "Death and Looting" or something.

I guess I don't have to make a final decision until I finish the quickplay rules and start to working it back into a full sized PDF.

How about "Burnin' and Lootin'"?
