Easy as Goblin Pie

[RidiculousName]

What does "Easy as goblin pie" mean? I mean, I know it's what the dwarf/fighter voice says when he thinks something is easy. But what is the reference to goblin pie about?

[fauxpas]

"Easy as apple pie."

Its a real world saying.

[RidiculousName]

Never heard of it.. Where's it from?

[fauxpas]

Not sure; try google if you really want to know.

"Easy as pie" has the same meaning as "Piece of cake". They both come from the notion that pie and cake are easy to eat due to tasting good. They're also both used when referring to things that are very easy/pleasurable to do. The goblin part is only there to add some DnD flair and isn't a reference to anything.

I've heard of "easy as pie." One more question, do Forgotten Realms dwarves eat goblin? The saying confuses me because if it werent for the text, I'd have thought he was saying "easy as gobblin' pie".

ITS JUST A JOKE LINE! ... And if you heard about "easy as pie"; why the flack about "easy as apple pie" as they are the same saying.


So no; dwarves do not eat Goblins in DnD ... however; Goblins do eat dwarves, humans, hobbits, elves, and anyone else that they are able to subdue, capture, and lead to the slavepens in their filthy and disease ridden lairs.

Just making conversation. No need to get triggered. :)

I'm just saying it doesn't make any sense. Like I said, I've never heard anyone say "easy as apple pie." Even, "easy as pie" is pretty rare. Why would a dwarf say that?

Because first you say that you have no idea what "easy as apple pie" could possibly mean but then turn around and admit that you have heard "easy as pie" and somehow think that missing the fact that the two are the same exact saying is ... well; whimsical is probably the nicest way to put it.



As for why a dwarf would use the phrase; "easy as pie" ... the answer simply that someone somewhere thought it would be funny to do so; same reason that the NPCs in the Original Saga all had 4th Wall joke lines.

I'm not sure why it doesn't seem odd to you but okay. It seems like you're just here to argue so I'll let you go on. ;)

...

Didn't know what "easy as apple pie meant".

Knew what "easy as pie" meant.

Didn't make the connection between the two phrases.

Asked if dwarves actually ate goblins in DnD.

...


And I'm being unreasonable?

That happens when I begin to lose interest in a third rate troll. Try harder to be creative enough to hold my attention.

Why am I a troll mr.Internet-warrior? Because you couldn't answer the question?
