Maddox, why have you lead me astray
I'll add that to the list of old sayings that don't make sense, right beside "it's like a double edged sword".
Point I was trying to make, you died to odditown lol
I don't think you understand, even the way it's commonly used it doesn't make sense in the context you used it.
The LCD is commonly used to describe something everyone has in common (like some minor appreciation for slapstick, or shooting at targets, or grinding in an MMO to get small rewards) hence it's used when people talk about mainstream things.
"The Transformers movies suck, oh well, I guess they have to pander to the LCD"
Lowest common denominator' is often used as a figure of speech meaning the most basic, least sophisticated level of taste, sensibility, or opinion among a group of people.I see that you tried to say that Oddimonium is the lowest form of raider (as if Oddimonium were a raiding faction to begin with), but you kind of implied that Oddimonium is something every raider on some level has in common, but that it's a tasteless and basic part, this doesn't make much sense.
But yeah, the expression kind of doesn't make any sense to begin with.
EDIT: Why you had high hopes for a forum attention-whore is beyond me.
