Yes. And I can recall a long night when a few of us imbibed heavily of the ethanol and cannabis evil spirits, and by morning had contrived a perfectly viable religion rooted in the worship (and frequent treats as offerings) of a German Shepherd named 'King'. King was a talented dog, with an artistic bent. When we took him to the mountains for a bit of R&R, he would circle our campsite, evaluating the arrangement of inanimate objects. Then he would pick up a rock, look over the site, walk to a better location for the rock and deposit it there. This would continue for hours, as King skillfully rearranged the landscape to His liking.
In retrospect, I'm thinking that the pooch we knew as King was really a projection of a multidimensional demigod into three-space, much like Frankie and Benjy Mouse in the holy scripture of Deep Thought. In His full manifestation, King was probably arranging planetary systems in distant universes, in accordance with the principles of intergalactic Feng Shui.

Unless you're spelling it out, it doesn't matter because the second "s" is rendered silent. When in doubt, use the acronym - FFS.

Does anyone have a clue about why elephant seems to be sailing up as the new euphemism for copulatory activities?
|

I guess because you can still get that satisfying "FU!" sound... For eleFUnt's sake!

It's because one of our esteemed Senior Members managed to get himself kicked off the site five times in a single weekend but to his "fruity" choice of language when having imbibed a fair chunk of Australia's alcohol production, and he was persuaded to use "elephant" and "sunshine" instead of the original obscenities. So much so that a new smilies were added: to help us all along.

I sometimes use "fire truck" - yeah longer but the relevant/correct sounds are there
after many otherwise intelligent sounding suggestions that achieved nothing the nice folks at Technet said the only solution was to low level format my hard disk then reinstall my signature. Sadly, this still didn't fix the issue!

Elephants are large animals. It's only fitting you'd use elephant when discussing a particularly big f***-up.

Yes. It was a post by me about Maria Sharapova, a bunch of Yanks got upset about what I had to say.
Can't tell you any more as I now get banned for saying scrotum.

Generally it should be with an "apostrophe s" and less asterisks.

Less less and more fewer? That just doesn't sound right somehow...

It depends on the context. There are fewer people here that answer questions, and I post less code (but fewer lines of code) than many of the others.

I think most of 'em would say "I can't even." instead.

Quote: No I f***in dont! I appears you are missing a couple of essential apostrophes, one after the "in" indicating a missed letter, the "g"; secondly "dont" is an Old English word meaning "to want to do" as opposed to "don't" which short for "do not" - which is actually almost the opposite in meaning. Curious!
