Wow!

No need for a camera when you can quickly sketch out the bad guy for police. This guy probably did a better job than one of those composite artist too - and much faster.

Very interesting article!

what's so strange about these?

that's the one that confuses me

That's really funny!

If that's the line that confuses you, Prankster bit, then you might say, it threw you for a loop.

Yeah - it's funny how simple little figures of speach can be really odd and seem senseless across borders or large bodies of water!

Well, different strokes, I guess!

Ok, we all know what that means in the USA (and Canada), BUT I'd like to know if it means the same thing in your neck of the woods, Prankster bit. Without looking up what it means (and I'm not referring to the 70's TV show of the same name) - is that figure of speech used there? If not, is it easy to figure out what it means? Just curious.

Some figures of speech are easily figured out, while others don't make much sense unless one is more familiar with the culture behind it.

Yes. I wasn't thrown for a loop when I read it.

I use the term frequently as well.

But if you think about it - it's kind of odd. We know what it means, but why does it mean that? I'm sure there's a website that explains the history behind figures of speech like that, but I'm too lazy to look it up right now.

How about "nothing to shake a stick at". That's a really odd one, and it's probably not used as widely now as it was in the heyday of stick shaking... if there was a heyday of that kind of thing. Was there ever something you would shake a stick at?

"Crack the window". That one is easy, but still, if you've never heard the term before - it must sould really odd - destructive even.

I use this all the time - "you dig?"

I'm not exactly sure how it came in to use, only that it was widely used in the late 60's and early 70's. I use it because I dig it! I like it because it's not in style. Neither are my sideburns - which is why I love them so much! Actually, while I've had sideburns, they've come in to style (because of that 90210 show I think) and gone back out, and I think they're kind of rising again in the late teen, early 20's crowd. Damn shame. But I still dig my sideburns - they're a me thing and not linked at all to what's in style or trendy. I am neither. LOVE that too!

Yeah - that's a good word.

You know - homogonous is pretty good too. It's a science term I think. There are a lot of fun science terms out there!

Prankster bit Wrote:and one for the teenage boy among us all: mastication - scientific term for chewing food.

When I was in 7th grade (early 80's), I remember a friend of mine who loved to say that word because it sounded dirty, but it was just, as you said, chewing.

This word is not scientific, but it is fun.

Facetious.

I like to say it by elongating the "s" sound like facetiousssssssss.

It's more facetious that way.

Maybe next time the poor guy gets robbed, he could draw the crook with a tennis rack... lol

And THAT was funny ALL over again!

Missed humor can be funnier than when someone gets it... or something like that. I thought it was funny, anyway.

Ok, FreedomForever - you need to go and find that epidermis of The Simpsons. Yes, I meant episode, it just felt right to use that word there. Work with me here.
