Postmodern nu-swarth, maybe?

I don't even tan. This is because I'm like a half-shade darker of opalescent white, or WHAT?
Heh. Amateur. :P

It could well be they have no idea what swarthy means.

I mean I thought it meant like, built like a bull? Bulky? Not tanned.

So..

Yeah.

Basically it means you look like a deckhand on an old-time ship. Tanned, muscled, kinda' shady in character, etc. Mostly suggests dark skin, though, yeah. Not necessarily black, but possibly some indeterminate descent going on there somewhere sure.

Swarthy doesn't have any meaning related to build, at least according to Th4DwArfY1 (I almost posted my real name there by accident 0_o) brand definitions! [Citation needed]

Most likely, somebody's vision experienced a blackness underflow error?

In the days when Sussman was a novice, Minsky once came to him as he sat hacking at the PDP-6.
“What are you doing?”, asked Minsky. “I am training a randomly wired neural net to play Tic-Tac-Toe” Sussman replied. “Why is the net wired randomly?”, asked Minsky. “I do not want it to have any preconceptions of how to play”, Sussman said.
Minsky then shut his eyes. “Why do you close your eyes?”, Sussman asked his teacher.
“So that the room will be empty.”
At that moment, Sussman was enlightened.

It'll take a loooooooooong time to make a natural tan if you..err, aren't naturally tanned .__.

Yeah.
And here I thought swarthy == tanned.
I initially attributed swarthy to some kind of pirate-y characteristic. Dohoho, swarthiness.

To be fair to your initial association, not only are many stereotypical pirates swarthy, they are almost universally described as such in literature.* It's hard to find a more stock description than "swarthy pirate".

*Insofar as I'm aware, anyway.

Heh, swarty sounds like Schwarte, as in Schweineschwarte - pork rind. Maybe they thought you looked delicious~

Nonon, I meant "This is what *I* thought swarthy means."

I'm not saying that it actually does mean bulky Tiruin, why would you think that given the context? :I I'm saying "I was wrong so maybe they were wrong too?"

Whatever it means, swarthy is a cool-sounding word. I always thought it meant moderately dark skinned, but I don't have a dictionary on hand to check.
It seems quite likely that the person in question thought it meant something different.

It's not inconceivable they share the same etymological root, especially given how and to whom the term referred.

Swarthy includes Italian and Southern French, so... you know, the groups that used to be not considered white.
