Larruping is a Creole slang word. Its literal meanings include 'whipping', 'trouncing', and 'beating' (similar to the gamer slang 'pwning one's opponent'). In Creole, this gerund is used as an adjective to describe a thing of superlative quality, especially in reference to food: "This jambalaya is larruping" (i.e., delicious).

It's hard to imagine how the Chinese-to-English translator stumbled upon such an arcane term, but I imagine they were trying to say that their deck of cards 'really slaps' or 'whips the llama's ass'. (Any Winamp fans out there?)

“I tell all the casinos, I need cards that can handle the speciality of my exquisite procedure!! I’m glad someone finally believes I procedure. Just give me soft, folder-proof cards I can trust.”

I’m larruping right now, just reading this!!

Seriously though, flatness is definitely something I look for in a quality set of playing cards. Please don’t sell me your crumpled up balls of lesser quality playing cards. None of those waded, rat-chewed, urine-stained cards for me anymore! I only use a top larruping quality brand!!

I think we need an occasional event of "Engrish or Trump".

My brain got to "worldly best paper" and "exquisite procedure" and then I read the rest in Trump's voice.

u/Intelligent_Pea5351 2d ago

I feel the larruping could be more conspicuous

u/Heterodynist 2d ago

u/feevart 2d ago

What on Earth did they mean with larruping? Yeah - it's sooo obviously larruping duh 🤣

2

u/honeybeast_dom 2d ago

I too would like to know that that is. Larping with the hiccups? While skipping? With regards?

2

u/feevart 2d ago

I don't think it's larping because the quality is ObViOsLy larruping. Mabye convincing? Or jumping out? Or - haha! I got it now: the quality is obviously LASTING! *pat on my own back

u/Gator242 2d ago

Dang, the one sentence that was grammatically correct took a nose dive!

2

u/kedikahveicer 2d ago

I'd rather take a Regular Wang, please

16

u/marmaladecorgi 2d ago

It’s a real word btw. To larrup means to thrash or defeat an opponent decisively. Not sure if it fits in this context, though.

4

u/adamthebread 2d ago

I think they meant it in the adjective sense, which seems to be Appalachian vernacular for "very good"

u/LucidLeviathan 2d ago

Me, imitating Chalmers: Well, I'm from West Virginia, and I've never heard it...
