Scott Wozniak, aka Scott the Woz is an Internet personality and genius. In his video “Shovelware Variety Hour: Round Three – Scott The Woz”, at 2 minutes and 4 seconds in, and later, 4 minutes and 46 seconds in, Scott angrily shouts the word “grouse” at the viewer, highlighting his clear distaste for the fowl. This is actually comedic genius. The definition of grouse is as such:
grouse1
/ɡraʊs/
Learn to pronounce
noun
noun: grouse; plural noun: grouse
a medium to large game bird with a plump body and feathered legs, the male being larger and more brightly coloured than the female.
Yet this is actually a trick. Grouse has a secret, second definition unlocked when playing on hard mode.
grouse2
/ɡraʊs/

verb
verb: grouse; 3rd person present: grouses; past tense: groused; past participle: groused; gerund or present participle: grousing: complain about something trivial; grumble.
This is where his genius truly shines. With clever wordplay, Scott Wozniak grouses about grouses. The deliberate choice of Grouse over duck or geese is clear. While on the surface it seems like an example of random shock humour, it is actually ingenious wordplay and this truly goes to show how Scott the Woz has the highest intelligence score the base game allows.
