Which name is cooler, plasword or lightsaber? They're the same thing, just different names.

[~Neri]

Plasword.

[Andres]

Lightsaber

[My Name is Immaterial]

Lightsaber, but plasaber would be even better.

They're the same thing, just different names.

[offtopic=swordgeekry]Debatable. Saber implies a slicing weapon, while a sword could be any combination of slicing and stabbing.[/offtopic]

[~Neri]

Sword is therefore better~

[Andres]

Sword is therefore better~

The reason he wrote that as offtopic was because it had nothing to do with whether it was cooler or not - just what was more accurate.

[Orange Wizard]

Plasword is just a couple of syllables away from placenta.

Actually, now that I think about it, most things are only a couple of syllables away from placenta.

[Egan_BW]

Also light in a different thing from plasma.

The obvious choice would be 'magnetically-contained-close-range-plasma-weapon'.

[Yoink]

Lightsaber, plasword doesn't roll off the tongue as nicely.
It ends up like you're just saying 'plassord' or something.

[Xantalos]

Plasword sounds like plastered, which is what you're going to be if you use a weapon like that.

Nah, call it the "Magnetically Contained Close Up Plasma Sword", the MCCUPS (or as the military would immediately start to call it, the "miccups" [rhymes with hiccups, because that's all a weapon like that would be able to accomplish in most battles, a slight hiccup in your enemies' plans]).

This.

Plasword sounds like it's made out of plastic.

Miccups is a great name though.

It's not actually a sword though, because instead of a blade it got a tube of plasma.
See, it's more of a neon light on a sword handle.

It's a sword because it cuts things, not because it has a blade.

[Orange Wizard]

Tubes of plasma aren't known for their ability to cut things, though.
