Substantial postings about constructed languages and constructed worlds in general. Good place to mention your own or evaluate someone else's. Put quick questions in C&C Quickies instead.
Though to be fair, the othering, pejorative use is common among the subtribe of Anglophones known as Stupid Fuckwitites (and by loaned semantics also Germans of the "hirngschissene Vollkoffer" affiliation).

Fine, but how did you even get onto this word. Or "leech"? The next word to be created was "extraneous; redundant; superfluous". You just randomly came out with "foreign" and "leech". That's why Sano said you're doing it wrong.
And that picture is a picture of what you've done to this thread: a derailment
Ugh! this is based on an secluded outsider-hating society ;the word for foreign obviously means something depending on context , but perhaps i should have clarified this and/or dropped this concept
and leech is the closest i came in my language to superficial
no, as in something that takes things away from you [greedy stock investor]; i.e. it's not needed, could kill/ruin you and only kept thru voluntary actions
but to calm sano down i have to invent another word rez- useless [created in 5 seconds flat]

To avoid this level of confusion you should do what everyone else does and write a very short explanation next to your new word. You would have cleared all that up before it started, plus you wouldn't have needed to use the WILDLY inappropriate example you did.
Also, just because everyone else is doing it (and I am a sheep if nothing else... Bah. < See.): why did you feel the need to write how long it took you to come up with the word "rez- : useless"?

What's the name of the conlang that rez is a word in?
