Twilight gawked at Discord. Her mouth slightly agaped while she stared dumbfounded at the ex-Lord of Chaos.

She had just been the first pony to witness Discord's incredible speech about the Fundamentals of Chaos Magic.

Except there wasn't actually much talk about Chaos Magic. Instead the speech consisted of crazed explanations of Not Messing Up, Backhanded Remarks, and some pony named Starswung the Moustachioed, who sounded like a bootlegged version of Starswirl the Bearded.

"So what do you think Princess," - Discord blew out LITERAL raspberries at Twilight as he said Princess - "Do you think I'm ready for my PonTalk this weekend"

Twilight blinked.

Then she blinked again.

Then she blinked five more times.

Her mouth finally closed and she came to one conclusion.

After all the talks about Messing Up, and Messing Directions, and Drinking until you find love; which, somehow relates to Messing Up, she decided it would be best if she made her opinion on Discord's PonTalk Speech as clearly as possible.

"WHAT THE BU-"

Author's Note

This was, basically, all of my friend's reactions when I asked them to proofread my story.

Also if you REALLY want an explanation for the Messing Directions then Fine. Although Personally I think it's better left ambiguous.

Messing Up - This Refers to making a mistake in general, as long as it isn't confusing the different Messing Directions

Messing Down - This refers to messing up the messing directions. If you say Messing Up when its really Messing Left, then you Messed Down.

Messing Right - This refers to making multiple mistakes at once. Usually either within a given time period or within the same sentence.

Messing Left - This is when you make a mistake, but you admit that you made a mistake. This refers to the whole 'A mistake is only a mistake if you don't try to improve'. Any Messing Direction can be Messing Left, but only if you recognize the mistake.
