Bom-Chicka-Wah-Wah-FAIL
Somehow, somewhere, someguy fail…
hahahah!!!copy-and-pasting fail. Being humble fail.
Ha. Do you think the engraver did it for a laugh?
Maybe the see-saw is behind it? Invisible?
No no. It originally had a central pivot but Health and Safety mandated that the moving parts needed securing.
Whats the fail here, fellows?
a seesaw is -> http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/d/df/Seesaw-aa.jpg
this… is a bench
you cant seesaw a bench!
In Soviet Russia, bench seesaws you!
No… Just… No…
In Soviet Russia, the benches were benches.
Now the CHAIRS on the other hand…
You mean in Soviet Iran I hope…
In Soviet Georgia, fire ceases you.
In Soviet Iran, energy nuclears you!
I see you saw the bench.
…I kind of seesaw that coming…
seesaw |ˈsēˌsô| (also see-saw)
noun
a long plank balanced in the middle on a fixed support, on each end of which children sit and swing up and down by pushing the ground alternately with their feet.
I believe you Yanks refer to the gentle seesaw with the rather vulgar “teeter-totter”. How uncouth.
You’re joking.
Afraid not. We use both terms.
But…but…at least WE don’t call…um…
*frantically wracks brain*
Ah! At least WE don’t call an umbrella a “bumbershoot”!
:p
Neener.
Haha, bumbershoot, can’t say I’ve heard that one.
The only one I know is ‘umbradoodle’
‘Bumbershoot’ sounds like an expression of disgruntlement haha.
Sweetie, if your haha is disgruntled, I don’t think I’m the one to talk to about it.
Was that supposed to be some sort of innuendo? *raises eyebrow*
Of course not. Perish the thought! I just meant you should speak to your gardener.
What about a brolly?
so who does call them bumbershoots? not us
No idea. Sounds to me like a word from the deep south of the US.
Not from the deep south (US), it is british originally. Entymology is “bumber” derived from “umbre(lla)” and “shoot” a derivitive of “chute” from parachute…which, incidentally, is similar to the French word for umbrella, “parapluie”.
Ooh, thanks for clearing that up.
etymology*
*blushes*
thanks:)
You’re cute when you blush.
and to think I majored in English in college…
*hits self with halibut borrowed from SaraJ*
spell check and wikipedia shall be my gods from this day hence…
Wikipedia? That’s like blasphemy!
yes, but it is instant, humorous, easily accessable blasphemy…
accessible*
Your case is weakening!
*buggyness
Or how about plimsoll?
…a plimsoll is a type of shoe…
I don’t see where you’re going with this.
Was responding to Dragonwriter (see above) re: weird Britishisms. That’s always been one of the strangest British word I’ve come across in my many and varied travels. I mean - why not call it a sneaker?
cos its a trainer
Oh I thought you were referring to the umbrella discussion.
A plimsoll is not the same as a sneaker. It’s a specific type of ’sneaker’, usually used by kids in primary school for P.E. lessons.
We call ’sneakers’ trainers.
Not so strange anymore huh?
M: I want to complain.
C: You want to complain! Look at these shoes. I’ve only had them three weeks and the heels are worn right through.
M: No, I want to complain about…
C: If you complain nothing happens, you might as well not bother.
M: Oh!
C: Oh my back hurts, it’s not a very fine day and I’m sick and tired of this office.

Monty Python, “The Argument Sketch”
At least he didn’t say “Look at these plimsolls.”
But why call it a sneaker? What does that really mean? To me it will always be a “tennis shoe”. Short, simple and unambigious…shit, now I’ve done it. Gone and misspelled a word…now no one will read my post, they will be too busy correcting my grammar…shit, did I misspell that too? Shitdamnfuck…and to think I was an English major in college too…Oh, god, prepositional phrases at the end of sentances…I should just quit now…back out gracefully…sorry to have offended anyone, please don’t hate me.
why call it a “sneaker” where does it do its sneaking? How sneaky is it? Or for that matter, for what is it “training”?
*shrug*, you wear them when training. Similar to the words ‘runners’ and ‘joggers’.
One could argue ’sneakers’ are good for… sneaking up on people?…
thass a you ‘neak argument
It’s the only conclusion I could come to!
*borrows TMI’s hat*
“Sneaker” was a word that was first used in the Renaissance
in England. Eventually, rubber-soled shoes were called “sneakers” because they were noiseless
So I was RIGHT!
it’s a perfectly argued conclusion. I just never understood the terminology behind the different variations… What we call them makes just as much (non) sense as what everyone else calls them. *shrugs* I just like to argue for arguement’s sake. (and yes, I left that possessive on purpose, Arguement is one of my closest friends
)
and yes that is how she spells her name…
Haha, annabellie, what happened to that spell-check you mentioned?
And why wouldn’t it be possessive?
I am not entirely sure why not. Maybe I was over analyzing my postings in an attempt to dodge the grammar nazis. I am afraid I am not blonde or grammatical enough for them to spare me.
*nor
You’ll have to present your individual case to the Grammar Committee for consideration.
(’Or’ was acceptable in that case
)
Where is it they meet? I will begin to prepare my case immediately.
Nine o’clock pm on PBS!
it’s too late…I have been seized already. Tried, convicted and sentenced to a lifetime of association with the idiots on ICHC…
*hangs head in shame*
*walks off slowly, hoping someone liked me despite my bad grammar and poor spell check abilities*
