Not sure, but either way, same difference.xmetatr0nx said:Well yes i suppose, although i think we all want to avoid doing that.NeutralDrow said:Why? It's perfectly possible to land on the ground in a heap.xmetatr0nx said:Crash landing...that one always confused me.
True enough, but tell me this what exactly is an original copy?APPCRASH said:Beats just crashing.xmetatr0nx said:Crash landing...that one always confused me.
But enough of that before I'm ninja'd by someone who types faster than I do. I also take exception with "VIN number" (VIN, of course, being Vehicle Identification Number), and, tangentially, the Rio Grande River, "Rio Grande" of course translating to "Big River." The Big River River? If you insist, people in charge of naming things!George Carlin said:When two planes almost collide, they call it a "near miss." It's a near hit! A collision is a near miss!

You're thinking of queer, gay is the one that used to mean happy.Mimsofthedawg said:One of the definitions (And a much, MUCH older one than "to be homosexual") of gay is, essentially, and obscenity, or a negative, odd thing. It's technically correct to say, "That's gay,"
There are very few things I would call "Gay" in that terminology, but seeing as I myself am homosexual and do it I don't see the issue in calling something insanely stupid "gay". I also use ****** to describe extremely stupid Politically Correct people or people that defame the homosexual community (like Perez Hilton, that guy is a huge fag)Mimsofthedawg said:I hate people who get all worked up when I say, "That's gay,"

Personally, I find it more offensive to call homosexuals gay. I also find it ironic. The term "gay" in reference to homosexuals came about as a negative conotation - you'd call anyone who was obscene gay.
If anything, both uses of the term should be halted. But since that won't happen, I refuse to stop saying my technically correct (not culturally accepted) use of the word.

It technically isn't wrong. The "whole" is used as an infix. It's the same as "fan-fucking-tastic" or constructs like that.BiscuitsJoe said:Also when people say "a whole 'nother"
I think the fact I get pissed about it is just proof of how much of a nerd I am, so don't feel bad about not reacting to it.NeutralDrow said:...okay, I get the part about koala marsupials, but what's wrong with "clinically proven" again?
Damn you, I thought up about that!Glefistus said:"A brave Frenchman."
