Re: Oh, so you're gonna be THAT way about it, huh? (none / 1)

And I quote from the December 2 Salon:

She's (In Wale) at college tonight, evening classes you know, trying to better herself and so on. Then it'll be the working class can kiss my you know the song.
Don't tell her I said that though.

HAH ! I say, HAH! Busssssted!

In the end, might makes right. Nothing has changed since the caveman.

to quote numerous UK gangster films, "Nobody likes a grass" (And thats half an hour of my life wasted hunting the actual quote around IMDB and youtube)

What's a "grass"? Please don't refer me to Wiki.

Re: Oh, so you're gonna be THAT way about it, huh? (none / 1)

A dictionary of slang - "G" - Slang and colloquialisms of the UK.

grass Noun. 1. An informer. Possibly from the rhyming slang grass in the park - 'nark', meaning informer. E.g."Don't tell John about this, he's a grass and I don't want to get into trouble."

Re: I'm tellin' (none / 0)

He's just followin' my tradition of a weekly insulta-thon. mix one glass Crement (accent included) with a half-liter Bordeaux, stir in equal amounts of superiority complex and literary license, and fire away!

Apologies to one of my favorite shitkickers.

Now! Take cover!.

Is this mid-week mud slinging night on ET or what?

Re: I'm tellin' (none / 1)

It's OK if you do it with a smile. But I will admit, I miss poemless' posts. She had such a way with words.

Maybe we can get her to do a guest shot?

Re: I'm tellin' (none / 1)

This isn't HATE. This is simply being a crappy person. Don't take it personally (how many times have I heard THAT in my lifetime?).

Oh, I'm not taking it personally. I'm just looking into assault rifle prices.

Now now, you know that kind of language is frowned upon.
