If anyone happening to come across this blog is familiar with World of Warcraft, you might actually recognize this little phrase. "Oh noes!" is a common expression said by many in the Warcraft gaming community to express feigned horror at some commonplace mishap. For example, should your character die while trying to do a quest or perform some task, this would be an example of something you might find said "Oh noes! That kobold totally wtfpwnedroflstomped me!"
This catch phrase caught notice of the Blizzard design team, who had a quest created with the title name of this blog. In it, you run around saving baby Murlocs (toad-like creatures that are usually unfriendly) from cannibalistic relatives. In Laura's and my vernacular, we have adopt the phrase "Ohnoesthetadpoles!" as an expression similar to Homer's classic "D'oh!" to make it known that we are frustrated, but in a funny I-am-not-really-angry sort of way. It is one of the many ways in which we find pleasure in the silliness of life, and learn to not take ourselves or our situations very seriously!
