  1. "Guineas," you twit.
    You can't even spell your slurs correctly.

    I meant the college that allegedly fired somebody for the use of a perfectly legitimate word. I did some research on that; turns out it wasn't a college, but the city of Washington that fired a staffer for that. I believe said staffer was later rehired, when it became clear he simply was speaking the king's English.

    Good enough, Twoback. Line was wide open for interpretation.

    Twit in the UK is a colloquial term for fag. Nice work.

    Boom, this is a thread about gay-bashing. Just watch what you say about Italians.
    You know I'm not that far from you and Uncle Vito will find you if necessary!

    This is not to suggests that the Mafia exists. It does not except in movies.

    Mafia? There is no Mafia.
     
  10. No, I don't.
    Let me try to explain this to you.
    1) You asserted that "twit" meant something that it demonstrably -- sorry, JDV -- does not. By any lexicographical standard. Period. End of discussion.
    2) You then assert that I have to accept a definition for what Packer said as benign because there are benign definitions for that word listed in the same reference that proved that you'd pulled a definition of "twit" out of your own arse. So, as the old philosophy Jesuits used to joke, because all men are mortal, and Socrates is a man, all men are Socrates. Ah, no.
    Tomorrow's lesson will be on "context." Please try to keep up with the rest of the class.

    BEDROCK--A sexual defamation lawsuit was filed today by two quarry workers, claiming they were damaged and defamed by a song that described them as having 'a gay old time.'

    The plaintiffs, Fred Flintstone and Barney Rubble, claim they are not gay, that they are merely good friends having a yabba dabba doo time, a dabba doo time.

    No day is sad if Billy Packer is taken off the air for any reason. His abrasiveness and cheerleading for his favorite school/conference/coach/player wore thin years ago.
