When you switched from calling it fluff to lore, did you also switch "crunch" over to "data"

The shovel speech is probably a little different coming from a Druid, huh.

I remember those days, I still reflexively call it fluff a lot of the time.

Shovel speech? Describing what she will do to us if we screw up her daughter?The shovel speech is probably a little different coming from a Druid, huh.

The general term for the stereotypical 'father to daughter's boyfriend' speech about what he's going to do to the boyfriend if he upsets her.
I think it's supposed to be called that because he'd beat him with a shovel? I don't know.

I'm pretty sure the 'shovel' part of the speech implies disposing of a body, given that the trope is the parental figure giving the speech while cradling a shotgun or other miscellaneous firearm.

Wait, "those days"? I'm pretty sure "fluff" (& correspondingly "crunch") is still in active use and is a somewhat broader concept than "lore." At least, my understanding is that fluff is all non-mechanical content whereas lore is more specifically setting/(meta)plot information.
(obligatory "all language is subject to variation in precise meaning/distinction and niche non-standardized jargon even more so" but still)
Don't you mean... that pan burns?Oww... that pun burns.
Yes, I am unreasonably happy how bad that one is.

You see showel speech is about how if MC hurts Pan the parent can beat Mathilde to death with said shovel and then use it to bury the body. It is multipurpose tool like that.
It is common in a certain type of media. I would not call it true to life. It's like 'shotgun wedding'. I do not think many people actively threaten the groom at the wedding with a shotgun.
The idea, I think, is that the father has to protect his daughter (and it's nearly always a daughter, with the excpetions often being called out as such in story) from those nasty boys. I'm pretty sure it's rooted in sexism both against girls (who can't take make choices or take care of the consequences) and boys (who are assumed guilty, and also ok to threaten).
But honestly, I mostly see it used as jokes, or a thing a character explicitly references as not doing (in the course of talking to their childs partner over their relationship, which in itself is a totally fine thing, just not the "threaten first" variant).

If the pan is burning, that means you've turned up the stove too high. Take it off the heat, wash it out, and start again.
I think the pan has greater heat resistance than Matty. By the time it gets hot enough to burn, she would've already fainted long ago, and then things just cool naturally.
Of course, hygiene is important, so washing your pan should be done frequently and thoroughly. Maybe repeatedly, just to make sure it's all cleaned out. However, this is best done when the pan is hot, not when it's cold.
If steel or cast iron pan is burning, that means that there's too much oxygen or fluorine in the atmosphere. Well, unless burning the pan was your intention, then you're all good.
Something something put a bun in the oven on the pan.

Threatening Mathilde is probably very hazardous to your health.
1) The Paranoia of the Grey college. Someone trying to intimidate a Grey LM probably gets put on one or more lists they probably don't want to be on.
2) Often surrounded by dwarfs. Is a dwarf. Is extremely respected in two karaks. That's a grudgin'.
3) Mathilde is a Lord Magister, A Knight and A Thane. Three different flavours of political faux pas...
4) Mathilde is a chosen of Ranald. Magister Pansmom is not on the same scale as a Khornate champion, but Ranald's got Mathilde's back anyway
In short, I pity the fool
