Combines a random template, adjective, and subject to produce an
encouraging, randomized compliment. Tone and style are controlled by
the mood, profanity, and shakespearean arguments, while
weirdness moves the content along a spectrum from sincere to surreal.
Number of compliments to generate. Defaults to 1.
A number between 0 and 1. Content is organized in
tiers: the chosen mood's bank (position 0), a quirky tier (0.5), and
a bizarre tier (1). Each component of a compliment (template,
adjective, and subject) is independently drawn from a tier, with
triangular weights centered on weirdness: 0 (the default) draws
only mood content, 0.5 draws only quirky content, 1 draws only
bizarre content, and intermediate values blend the two adjacent
tiers. When shakespearean = TRUE, the quirky tier is omitted and
weirdness blends linearly between the mood's Shakespearean bank and
a bizarre Shakespearean bank.
The tone of the compliment: "sincere" (default),
"grumpy" (backhanded compliments), "cheerful" (over-the-top
warmth), or "dramatic" (epic, life-or-death stakes).
Profanity level: "none" (default, no profanity),
"tame" (funny clean words like "fudging" and "oh, fudge-muffins"),
"mild" (e.g. "damn", "heck"), "strong" (four-letter words; note
this tier ships explicit language in the package source), or
"weird" (an extra-weird clean set, e.g. "blorping", "you
magnificent space walrus"). Profanity is added as an intensifier
before the adjective or a trailing clause.
If TRUE, use pseudo-Shakespearean language and
structure. Each mood has its own Shakespearean bank.
