*spoon*! WHO CAME UP WITH THIS ???

[mintcollector]

You are.

 

I was being a smart @ss, as he apparently can't even bear to spell swear word correctly. I think he meant bollocks.

 

Bullock: Bullock may refer to: Bullock (in British English), a castrated male bovine animal of any age; Bullock (in North America), a young bull (an uncastrated male ...

 

Or, of course, there is Sandra Bullock.

 

 

 

 

Don't quote me, but I heard it is the term used to describe supper saggy-flabby boobage on young women, or embarrassingly flacid....uhm

 

reflux on dudes....I could be wrong though

 

what's a bullock?

Obviously I missed something....for the last few months, whenever there appears to be inappropriate language being used the term *spoon* is inserted....WHAT THE *spoon* DOES THAT MEAN Who came up with it...it's driving me crazy....

 

On a side note...I've been a casual listener to the Jim Rome sports talk show for years...when people call in and say "WAR this, or WAR that" I don't know what it refers too....IT is driving me crazy please help....

 

I have no idea who came up with most of the 'slang' internet terms we use. That being said, why is there ever a reason to use profanity to get anyone's point across?

 

Whenever I am attempting to discuss an issue (especially on an internet forum) and someone feels a need to use foul language it tells me that they are too emotionally involved in proving their own point to even have the slightest ability to understand my own point of view; let alone anyone else's.

 

I feel bad for those kind of individuals. It must be very hard to have not learned how to deal with indifference and tolerance regarding the understanding of all intellectual perspectives and differing opinions.

 

Respectfully,

Thing is, I can verbally cross swords with most people and rarely feel out of my depth, whether on screen or in person.

 

However, some people are really not worth the effort, so a quick

you, seems more appropriate and a lot less time consuming. (thumbs u

 

Oh, and anybody who frowns on 'curse words' simply doesn't know how and when to use them correctly.

 

This is where we differ. I have yet to find a reasonable use for any foul language while proving a point or making a general statement.

 

Then again, if I lived in a country we had cool slang words like 'bullocks;' I may take a different point of view...

Apparently the joke (being the incorrect spelling) was lost on almost everyone here.

 

Now do you see why I avoid all humor and stick to straight facts when I visit this forum? We were discussing 'slang.' The misspelling was the joke!

 

Whoever said sarcasm is easily lost on Internet forums was correct!
