The 'Dame' thread.

[Baby Tea]

Can't say it really works for me.

If we're fake cursing I'd rather use Pirates of Dark Water's "noy jatat". It just rolls off the tongue so nicely and works well in a string.

as in "Noy jatat! If this jatatin computer gets one more jatatin virus..."

Well Dame doesn't have to work for everyone. The power of Dame is strong. DAME strong!

Ahh...I love it.

Oh dame, I wonder how long people will keep damein it up before it gets damed to former cool word hell.

I am curious. What are the origins of the word Dame on these forums? Is it some in-joke that I've missed, or did you two just come up with it?

 

[SnowCold]

this idea is not dame at all
[sorry, I had to do this]

There ain't nothing like a dame.

The story is in the OP.
Richard just said it in the IRC chat, we thought it was dame, and we ran with it.

Dame doesn't sound vulgar?

Come on just face it.
Dame is exactly the same as "smurf". You're just used to smurf instead of dame. Any word can be used to replace "smurf".

I disagree.

Doesn't sound as good as smurf.
"I totally smurfed her" sounds better than "I totally damed her."

This is why.

(I don't IRC anyway, so smurf it.)
