While quizzical, we imagine "horrific" differently. |
|
| |
An admitted heterosexual like [jurist] would say that. Probably a philatelist when no one is watching too. |
|
| |
I don't think you could have written a better idea. |
|
| |
[+] OK you ostentatious empiricist! |
|
| |
I find your overt munificence completely lacking any gormandizing behaviour whatsoever! |
|
| |
Wow, this is way harder than making insults sound like complements. |
|
| |
I hope you get a panegyric for this inchoate idea. |
|
| |
This idea fills the void in a much needed gap. |
|
| |
Is this not merely describing the ubiquitous
elliptical conversational style of the typical
educated
upper-class Englishman ? |
|
| |
What 8th said. You know, on reflection, you're really not quite as ugly as the rest of your family are you Voice? |
|

// This idea fills the void in a much needed gap. // |
|
| |
[marked-for-tagline] of course, and I'm inversely irascible
over the idea itself, mind you. |
|
| |
You clearly are a person of the lowest moral turpitude,
lacking even a shred of perfidy. |
|
| |
Given that most men devote considerable energies
to gaining access to female netherparts, I've often
wondered why calling someone a c*nt is the gravest
of insults. |
|
| |
You wouldn't say "he's a complete Ferrari!" or "what a
fortune!" |

Talmud (Moed Katan ch 1 page 9a, see link) |
|
| |
Rabbis Johnathan son of Esmai, and Judah son of
converts were studying the subject of Vows under
Rabbi Shimeon - Simon son of Yohai... |
|
| |
[after a relevant discussion on the meaning of
words and values...] He (Rabbi Shimeon) told his
son: "These people are in shape. Go get their
blessing!" ... |
|
| |
[after a second short but relevant discussion
about the meaning of life the universe and
everything...] They asked: "What are you doing
here?"
He answered: "Father told me to get your
blessing."
They said: Let it be that
- you sow but not reap,
- you bring in but not take out,
- you take out, but not bring in
- your house will be destroyed
- your guests will return
- your meal shall be scrambled
- and you will not see a new year. |
|
| |
When he came to his father, he said:
Not only did they not bless me, they cursed me!
- "What did they say?" - "So and so."
So he said: "Oh those! They are all blessings:
- You will sow but not reap: You will have sons
who will not die in your time.
- You will bring in but not take out: You'll take in
daughter's in law, and your sons will not die
before them, so they won't leave you.
- You will take out and not bring in: You'll marry off
your daughters, who's husbands will not die on
them, and they will not return to you.
- Your house shall be destroyed and your guests
return: You will be a guest in this actually
temporary world, and your true home shall be in
the future and permanent world to be. As can be
read in Psalms (49): Their houses will be their
graves (a Hebrew play on words)
- Your meal shall be scrambled: With many boys and
girls.
- You won't see a new year: Your wife will not die,
and you will not wish to marry a different one. |
|
| |
(Of course, you get these blessings, only if you
realize what is truly important and what is not,
which was the subtext of that message, and of
the preceding discussions) |
|
| |
You see, [pash], this is what stops religion being
taken seriously. |

"Your ears will be filled with cheese."
"Oy vey! With cheese already?"
"Yea, meaning that you'll never want for an
impromptu snack."
"Well, OK then."
"And your land shall be flooded."
"Ai! Flooded you're telling me here?"
"With happiness."
"So, what, you couldn't have just told me that in
the first place? What is it with you and the
juvenile humour already?"
"And your hat shall be set on fire."
"Enough already. Is that a metaphor for revelation
and wisdom surging through my brain?"
"No, I just like setting people's hats on fire." |

[Max] The above method is to try and train optimistic
thought behaviors. A good thing in the past when
logical behavior control was under developed. |

Oh yes, when in grammar school my friend and I used to tell boys their *epidermis was showing* and every single one of them glanced down to their fly!! (we'd run away laughing!) I think I was a halfbaker back then! |

Your Majesty is like a stream of bat's piss. |
|
| |
I'm not understanding, obviously. Is it obfuscation? That a combination of arcane words will leave the listener confused and suspicious about meaning? What conveys the slight if the meaning is unknown? |
|
| |
This seems to rely on the premise that the most would think - "I don't know what you're saying so you must be insulting me". Would they? |

Got walked in on once when me and my girlfriend were engaging in philately. Pretty embarrasing. |
|
| |
I once called someone "a tree of a dog" in French
when they cut me up on a road in Paris. It was the
only collection of words that sprang to mind on the
spur of the moment and, thanks to the delivery and
context, it conveyed my intent. |
|
| |
After working with dogs for a little too long I have come to
realize that just about any nonsense can convey intent
through inflection and tone. I suspect this is how the
Chinese language evolved. |
|
| |
Also, I have learned that if you look at a person sternly and
say "Sit!" in just the right tone of voice, they will. |
|
| |
Yo momma such a nice lady. |
|
| |
I am glad I went back to read the annos because I
got to read pashutes. That is great! |
|
| |
This idea is a steaming pile of excellence and reeks of adequacy. |
|
| |
You never smelled so good. |
