Definition Of Soon
 
Definition Of Soon™

Soon

"Soon" does not imply any particular date, time, decade, century, or millennia in the past, present, and certainly not the future. "Soon" shall make no contract or warranty between "Soon" and the end user. "Soon" will arrive some day, the PokéCommunity does guarantee that "soon" will be here before the end of time. Maybe. Do not make plans based on "soon" as the PokéCommunity will not be liable for any misuse, use, or even casual glancing at "soon."

Very Soon

Another common term implemented by the PokéCommunity often misleading Believers and Skeptics into excitement for future content. "Very Soon" is guaranteed to arrive between now and the end of time with a higher chance of arriving on the "now" half of the time table. Although this means closer to now than "soon" there is no guarantee that you will live long enough to see the content finally release.

Now<--------------Very Soon--------Soon--------------->End of Time

“Information in this press release that involves the PokéCommunity’s expectations, plans, intentions or strategies regarding the future are forward-looking statements that are not facts and involve a number of risks and uncertainties. the PokéCommunity generally uses words such as “outlook,” “will,” “could,” “would,” “might,” “remains,” “to be,” “plans,” “believes,” “may,” “expects,” “intends,” “anticipates,” “estimate,” future,” “plan,” “positioned,” “potential,” “project,” “remain,” “scheduled,” “set to,” “subject to,” “upcoming” and similar expressions to help identify forward-looking statements.

Factors that could cause the PokéCommunity’s actual future results to differ materially from those expressed in the forward-looking statements set forth in this release include, but are not limited to, sales levels of the PokéCommunity’s titles, shifts in consumer spending trends, the impact of the current macroeconomic environment, the seasonal and cyclical nature of the Invention/Development market, the PokéCommunity’s ability to predict consumer preferences among competing hardware platforms (including next-generation hardware), declines in software pricing, product returns and price protection, product delays, retail acceptance of the PokéCommunity’s products, adoption rate and availability of new hardware and related software, industry competition, rapid changes in technology and industry standards, protection of proprietary rights, litigation against the PokéCommunity, maintenance of relationships with key personnel, customers, vendors and third-party developers, domestic and international economic, financial and political conditions and policies, foreign exchange rates, integration of recent acquisitions and the identification of suitable future acquisition opportunities, the PokéCommunity’s success in integrating the operations of acquisitions in a timely manner, or at all, and the combined company’s ability to realize the anticipated benefits and synergies of the transaction to the extent, or in the timeframe, anticipated, and the other factors identified in the PokéCommunity’s most recent annual report on Form 10-K and any subsequent quarterly reports on Form 10-Q. The forward-looking statements in this release are based upon information available to the PokéCommunity as of the date of this release, and the PokéCommunity assumes any obligation to update any such forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements believed to be true when made may ultimately prove to be incorrect. These statements are not guarantees of the future performance of the PokéCommunity and are subject to risks, uncertainties and other factors, some of which are beyond its control and may cause actual results to differ materially from current expectations.“

Ohhhh! Very good Rukario!
If only a certain other company had put out a document like this while they were working on an operating system that they announced in the early 2000s but didn't get released until 2007... or for a similar manner, a package of an updated version of their operating system originally made for the original IBM PC with their very popular graphical shell that ran on top of said operating system that didn't get released until August 1995... or better yet, an object-oriented operating system project that was announced in 1991 and we haven't heard of an official for real release date for it for years on end!

I'll leave all you folks to figure out what company and products I'm talking about! ;) :P

Circuit June 20th, 2015 10:16 AM

In a related topic, I would like to clarify what the true meaning of SWAG is:

As an Acronym:
SWAG:
Scientific Wild Ass Guess
Stuff We All Get
Sourceware Archive Group (Pascal program sources)
Semantic Web Agreement Group
Special Warfare Group (Philippine Navy)
Silly Wild Ass(ed) Guess
Stolen Without A Gun
Studies in Women and Gender
Software and Giveaways
Southern Women Aging Gracefully (book by Melinda Rainey Thompson book)

Dictionary definition:
noun: swag

1. a curtain or piece of fabric fastened so as to hang in a drooping curve.
a decorative garland or chain of flowers, foliage, or fruit fastened so as to hang in a drooping curve.
plural noun: swags
"swags of holly and mistletoe"
a carved or painted representation of a swag of flowers, foliage, or fruit.
"fine plaster swags"

2. informal: money or goods taken by a thief or burglar.
"their homes offer tempting swag for burglars"

1. arrange in or decorate with a swag or swags of fabric.

2.(Australian/New Zealand): travel with one's personal belongings in a bundle.

I hope this clarifies all your misconceptions on the real meaning of SWAG.

Typical use:

Urban Dictionary:
SWAG means (Secretly We Are Gay).

It is also a word that means to represent yourself/ the way you represent yourself, baggy clothes, shitty hats, small penis and basically a way to say your afraid to come out of the closet.

In honour of this topic I've decided to write an original song verse:

When you say it's gonna happen soon
Well, when exactly do you mean?
See I've already waited too long
And all my hope is gone


It's part of my new song called "How Now Is Soon?" and it'll be available for download soon.

avantimaestro September 29th, 2015 5:21 AM

I guess we'll have a new slogan soon?
