I've always found it more interesting to invoke a feeling rather than describe it. It seems completely bizarre to me how you would express an emotion to someone in plain language and still be unable to communicate coherently (as current K'Hara-approved Nomad speech does), and I was frustrated with the server zeitgeist until I saw someone do a completely brilliant idea. They communicate entirely in euphemisms and references, as though their Nomad character were copying advertisements and random radio chatter it had heard from Human entertainment.

It's extremely evocative and interesting to me because it hints at the understanding of Humanity that Nomads absolutely do have, but does so in a way that's alien to our understanding of language and culture (as if the listening Nomad wasn't positive about the mechanics of conversation so they simply copied learned messages that seemed to express the sentiment they wanted). It's not obtuse or mysterious, which is fantastic for listeners, but it's demonstrative of a non-Human perspective and absolutely stood out to me.
