I think it's one of them geological time periods.
The esoteric era fell between the pan-generic era and
the curvatious-mongolith era. It was during this
time period when small brained pre-humans roamed the earth
and developed a very limited, barely useful vocabulary.
Their mating ritual required them to loudly yell some
phrases to attract receptive partners. Unfortunately,
these phrases were yelled so loudly that heads would often explode before mating was succesfully accomplished. This
is thought to be the main cause of their eventual near
extinction. Remnants of this early tribe still exist,
you can recognize them by listening carefully for some
of their more common phrases:
"That's terrible! How can you call that?!"
"3 seconds! He's been in there all day!"
(This is sometimes followed by a ritualistic trance
inducing counting:
"1...2...3...4...5...")
"You gotta have *something* on that!"
"That's not a charge! His feet were moving!"
"Come on! Call it both ways!"
"You are *the worse* I've seen in 20 years!"
