QUOTE(NUTTER @ Mar 23 2006, 11:38 AM) I was taking the piss no thought went in to it at all cos i dont care being confused is part of being american :lol: I still don't know what you mean. Since your first post, I haven't cared much for any of your comments or attitude. In my previous post I was not attacking you; I was trying to tell you that I can't imagine that anyone would have understood what you were trying to say. Even your response to my post isn't very clear. All I can make out is that you are trying to attack me because of where I was born and where I live. I am choosing not to engage in your attacks. That would be a waste of time for me to keep posting and for everyone else here to read. I have learned from/about and respect many people on these boards who are from all over the globe. I appreciate their friendship and their respect about where I am from. Like the great philosopher Popeye The Sailorman said, "I am what I am."  Have a nice day, Mr. O'Donnel

Perhaps if you used a little more punctuation and gave it a quick read before you posted it would help. I have lots of typos and stuff like that too because I have to squeeze posts in while at work, so I know what it can be like.

Them some little goodie goodie girl who probably doesn't have dinner on the table when her husband gets home, went up to the chalkboard and did this: Woman: Without her, man is nothing. go figure. Bobaloo, without women's boobs, is nothing! :niceones:

But in thinking about it, I'm sure he would be more apt to say ams. But as long as you all got the idea of what I was trying to say.

Good try...you could argue that English cockney slang is also a form or word association!!
Try and guess what this short slang means....
Treacle
as in a greeting...'Alright, treacle?'

I have no clue. i could probably look up something in the Internet, but Pen said that's against the rules. I am completely stumped and I submit to you punishment. Or maybe you need to give me special tutoring.
