Personally, I just want to figure out how to do those quotes when you argue with someone.

It's a complicated tangled web to weave. All the quote="Your Mom" stuff /quote and such get confusing. We can argue about something if you'd like to test it out. I'll just be hanging out over here ignoring shiz as usual.

I break down a post into individually-boxed quotes by enclosing each desired segment with [quote="name of poster"] and [/quote].

Do you have to hit the back button after each quote?

You don't have to if you are staggering a single post, or if you are quoting bits from different posts which happen to be within the "Topic review" just below "Submit", in which case you simply have to scroll up or down and copy-paste the needed contents. Otherwise, it's a matter of strategy or pure patience in retyping and stuff . Just my experience.

(Lol...so that's how my original post looks like with BBCode on.)

Word.
The masks smelt of foot.

It didn't expire. I tried to change it to this:



and it won't god damn display right. So Beakon is back.

Who's gonna argue? I want to play! Um.... yo momma. Ok next.

Sorry about the new AV!
And!! Yo Mama's so stupid she thought Taco Bell was a mexican phone company!

[Arianddu]

Beavers? Seriously?

UK slang for a lady's rude bits you mean?
Yes. I'm afraid so.

You know - I think I like "rude bits" a lot better!!

Me too.
And just because I know what these words mean, does not mean I use 'em.

Well, I am partial to the occasional swear word, purely for emphasis and dramatic effect, you understand.

And as we are all helping complete each other's education's tonight, another phrase for those particular rude bits is 'lady garden.'
And 'front bottom.'

And as we are on the subject - all Americans please note, do NOT talk about 'falling on my fanny' or 'slapping her fanny' (or even worse 'slapping his fanny') once you leave North America. It doesn't mean what you think it means in the rest of the English speaking world. Although 'Fanny Pack' is freaking hysterical and has me in tears of laughter every time!

[Arianddu]

LOL, it's not just a UK slang.

We probably stole it from you!

So would you still be called a bird or someone's fancy bit.

An older guy might still use those words, but they kind of went out of use along with 'chicks.'
Although in Wales I think they still refer to a woman as a 'piece' or a 'fancy piece.'

"Fancy piece" is something I only ever heard old mams use, usually about some middle aged bloke's mid-life crisis younger girlfriend. Very old fashioned term - even in Wales

Ah, I love Wales - only place in the world you can drink your Brains http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BzHT-7KG9pI&feature=related

Having re-hijacked the thread, I'll unhijack it with a few thoughts (nothing too original, 'mafraid)

When the moderator of a board lobs you a chill pill - take it
If you don't agree or you think it's unfair, politely and privately contact the moderator and say something like 'I think you may be over-reacting, could you please expand on why you think there is a problem, and in the mean time, I will take the chill pill'
If you think you are getting told to chill when you see others getting away with something worse, again, contact the moderator privately, and point out that you have taken the chill pill but you would like to note that there seems to be a discrepancy in how things are being handled, and politely reference those others, stressing that you are not denying responsibility for your own actions but you would like to understand the logic. And either it will be explained to you where the difference lies, or a few more chill pills will be lobbed at someone else.

But the bottom line is, when the moderator rolls those little ice cubes at you, swallow the fucking chill pill and shut the fuck up. Don't ignore it, and don't think it won't be noticed when you jump on the button again a week later. And until you get to hear what messages and complaints are going to the moderator and from how many people, don't assume it's just the mod getting his/her knickers in a twist.

Tito man, we miss you, but don't try to justify what you did or didn't do. Just swallow the chill; you don't have to agree with Andrew's reasoning, but at least acknowledge you ignored the warnings and will try to cool off in the future on the subject. It's not like you've been banned for life, but you obviously hit the wrong button a few times too many. Swallow up, take responsibility, and come back to us, 'kay?

[Shadowsong]

I was in Brisbane in 86 & got called a bird. Didn't know what it meant at the time but someone said it was sort of a chick.
Didn't even know the guy. He just stopped me to say hello.
That was the first time I was there & they have strange words for things
like the trunk of a car is the boot & the hood the bonnet...

Crazy Aussie's Sorry Andrew, I'm just kidding my Mom is an Australian citizen but it's true Aussie English at times seems to be a different language.

Andrew do you know why they put the door knobs so high on the doors?
they are placed almost 5 foot high! Makes me feel like a little person...

[Journey/Survivor]

What's going on?

Tito was banned from MR?

Why, what happened?

Hey, AMERICAN English is weird!!

I mean, frosting instead of icing! You call scones biscuits, biscuits cookies, muffins 'english muffins' and huge cupcakes muffins, you call jam jelly but call jelly jello, and your cider is just apple juice!

I SWEAR one American I met told me his mother had just had a hat attack!

Must be because you drive on the right side of the road, which is wrong, instead of the left, which is right.

Don't know what you mean about the door knobs, though; all the doorknobs I've ever encountered in Australia are either waist height or shoulder height. Oh, hang on, we're all six foot six here, so 5 foot high IS shoulder height

I'm only 5 foot so I can almost peak through Aussie keyhole at eye level!

OOOOh. not all Aussies are 6'6

Hey, your metric so wouldn't you say 2 meters & a bit...

We measure in metric, but we grow in imperial

[Shadowsong]

Oh, I give up

LOL

Older houses have the shoulder height doorknobs .
Both my parents houses have those high doorknobs & raised foundations like most Queensland houses but we're in NSW

Have no idea!

I can top that one with some true Croweater:

"Jump on me treddly for a dink and we'll toddle to Pops to pick a trombone. Be a good kidlet and help us rip out the Salvation Jane and the soursobs and I'll give you Dandy after."

(Translation, because I am nice - in South Australian slang, I said:
Get on my bicycle for a ride on the handlebars, and we'll go to Grandfather's to pick a butternut pumpkin/squash. Be a good young person and help us to pull out the Echium and Oxalis weeds and I'll give you an ice cream afterwards."))

[Shadowsong]

[Arianddu]

:shock:

[mikemarrs]

do we all get a dandy after the soursobs are done?

[strangegrey]

So is this a bad time to say I think JSS's new song has a Lenny Kravitz sound to it?!

I thought you were propositioning her.

My two centsworth...............
It's not what you say it's how you say it.

If sarcastic comments or whatever have an air of humour about them, I think most members here just laugh at them and take them in the spirit in which they are intended,
but if the comments have an 'edge' to them or appear to be sly digs, I think members take offence or get annoyed.

I think that's the key. People read between the lines.
And between stevew2's lines I think we can all see he is just having a laugh.
Sometimes Tito's lines appear to have a sly slant to them. That may not be intentional, of course, but that's how he comes over to me sometimes.

And I also think the song has a Lenny Kravitz feel to it. And that is a compliment - with no sly edge to it.
