HOTD: Can someone explain “leel” to me…

SheenVT

If you listen to the HOTD podcast, it’s clear the guys love saying “leel” which when I first heard them say it thought they were saying “little” but have determined now by context it must mean “loyal”, but why? What did I miss? Did someone say “leel” in HOTD or in GOT and I cannot recall? Or is it an inside joke from another show they cover?  Thanks!

It was used in the early on in the show. In the first or second episode, when Rhaenyra’s picking a new kingsguard, Otto whispers to her “You might thank him for his leal service”. Rhaenyra mishears and says “Thank you for your loyal service”

I must admit I misheard as well. I only picked up on it because I watch with subtitles. I had to look it up because I don’t think I’ve ever seen “leal” before that

I think it wormed its way into Arons brain and metastasized.  It's become a sort of memetic virus that aron has infected the broader podcast community with.  It has completely taken over the discord!

I feel like the introduction of “Leal” into the Bald Move cannon is right up there with “Mildly Interesting” and “Dry Pie”. It will eventually become a thing that everyone gets but only a few will remember when it started.
