If a well-known FR bloviator uses the word “we” while bloviating,

And someone else tweaks the bloviator”s comment by asking “is that the royal ‘we’ “,

And another person then (mindful of the know-it-all bloviators self-righteous tone) cleverly notes that the bloviator likely thinks his ‘we’ is royal,

This is banned potty langauge?

If so, I have seen that dialogue hundreds of times at FR, and so it is a surprise.

But those in sects have likely been hitting their abuse button, which is why it has popped up.

The term "Royal We" has specific meaning. The term "we" used as a pronoun has specific meaning.

The term "we" used as a play on the noun "wee" can be potty language depending on the context, e.g. "he thinks his we is royal."
