On fleek is a more "street" way of saying on point, which is to say that something looks great or is great. Like for example, if i say your dress is on fleek, i'm basically saying that you look perfect in that dress. So if your sandcastle is on fleek, your sand castle looks perfect. And if you say your sandcastle game is on fleek, than you're basically saying that your ability to make sandcastle is great, with game in this situation being the synonym to ability or talent. Also i don't use the word myself since i hate it as much as bae, but i know some people who do. Don't ask me where the word came from though.
fly +leek?
fly+leet?
I am to fleek for a rabbi?
Fly+ seek?
Fly + sleek?

I dunno how I feel about this theme. Pretty...lame if you ask me. What is 'Murica doing?

But I dunno. I don't like building either, but I'm more of a winter kind of person as the heat literally kills me. But that dialogue, though. That...what is that? I hate "bae" and "fleek" with a passion and I think it just upped its level a bit. Did they think that was clever?

I'm probably choosing Sandcastle, just because of the movie Frozen, and sand will be less popular

I've never even built a snowman because I live in California, and my sandcastles are just a pile of wet sand

Yeah, I'm going with Sandcastles for two reasons:

1) I just can't stand Frozen because my family is way too into it, and
2) I agree with Marie about Callie trying too hard with the slang.

At first I thought I didn't really have a strong preference, but after thinking about it for a bit, I realized that I kind of have to support Team Snowman.

I'm not a big fan of beaches for one thing. I also live in Minnesota, so I'm pretty familiar with snow (though it's been pretty mildly lately) and don't mind it that much. Plus, I actually like Frozen...

It made me cringe so hard when I read it. I'm glad I can be prepared for it when I boot up Splatoon. But I really hope they were because those two slang words are just plain awful. Well in my opinion.

Well these choices suck for me. I have to road trip for any significant source of snow or sand.

Guess I'll flip a coin. Or throw a dirtrock. If it breaks, sand. If not. Snow. Plenty of dirt and rocks around here...

You guys sound so crotchety with your contempt for trending slang words. Every generation has them I dont see what the big deal is? And of course Callie would use them. Ever see celebrities using slang on twitter? Its not a strange thing for Nintendo to have the biggest celebs in Inkopolis say.

But anyway.. (weeaboo warning) Japan has the best splatfests easily. Who cares about sandcastles and snowmen. Even if I were a child I would prefer something more imaginative. Even Europe's Jetpack/hoverboard one is kinda meh in my opinion.

I love snow so i do not care >XD i always wanted some kind of summer vs winter theme so i am happy

for the salng thing at least make sense with it and not be spewing words out randomly to to "look cool"? if it was not for the first part I would loved the cray cray thing because it is sometin i tend to do but using literally like that sure killed it.

When she said ”Good job my marshmellow peeps” during the marshmellow spaltfest I almost died laughing. I do not know if they did that by luck or on purpose because I know she says peeps for people in other cases but with marshmellows?!?!?! too funny

Team Snowman... Simply because I live in snow. And I spent the last week shoveling snow and/or breaking ice.
The weather in Canada is just great lately.

Hey look! Another Advance Wars reference by your local Advance Wars fangirl.


Even though the sandstorm weather effect was introduced in Dual Strike, there was no CO made around it until Days of Ruin/Dark Conflict and that CO was the general weather CO specialist anyway who also had the power over rain and snow
