The three things mong "knows":

Adolf was great

Trump is great

Brown people are not great

He also knows eventually with enough alcohol consent will come

it's worthwhile to remember that dumping on anyone who's educated/knowledgeable/has an expertise is a hallmark of deplorables. their feelings of inferiority define them, so they vote for a rapists

IRONY ALERT!!!

He knows a lot of other things, such as:England is very stabby.Women love the smell of paint.Women are good for ****ing or getting naked on camera, but not much else.Understanding basic grammar is strictly for intellectuals who lack his level of testosterone. The proper amount of masturbation is 4 times per day for amateurs, 5-7 times per day for semi-pros, and 8+ times per day

Tbh I also love the smell of paint.

Are you proud of the useless nonsense you know?

COMPLEX-QUESTION FALLACY ALERT!!!

Checks out. 😆

chez,

You honestly thought that this joke, and the origins of the joke, were so widely understood in the English speaking world that you could throw out that reference and people would be bound to get it? I can't speak for the UK, but not one person in a thousand in the U.S. would have understood what you were referring to.

No i didn't expect you to know the origins, I just think it's trivial to understand. Yes minister didn't have to explain it - they expected (correctly as far I was aware) people to cope with it not really being an irregular verb.

It’s pretty funny to watch this clown cosplay on the Internet as an alpha who looks down on nerds and totally ****s while simultaneously paying for [strike]sex[/strike] the ability to even look at a tit and complaining endlessly to Internet forum moderators that people aren’t nice to him


by Rococo m

The weird thing is that I didn't show any particular expertise in grammar (nor do I have any particular expertise in grammar). I just knew the definition of an irregular verb.

any time anyone says anything they don't understand they lash out. the knowledge bar is so low at this point, anyone who's read more than 3 books without pictures is a threat


I thought mongi was complaining about using the mod thread for off topic stuff anyway


by Rococo m

I still don't understand, but that's a common feature of discussions between the two of us.

Not surprising, as chez is referencing a quite old (1970s) and distinctly British joke. People used to suggest there were snobbish 'irregular verbs' like 'I am a traveller, you are a holidaymaker, he is a tourist,' where you notice it gets less classy as you go from first person to third person, even though they're all basically the same thing. Or I suppose you could have 'I am a liberal intellectual, you are a radical, he is an extremist.' And chez seemed to be suggesting (though not in the correct order) something on the lines of 'I draw reasonable inferences, you make stuff up, he flat-out lies.'


And then ****ed it up chez-style with the usual typos.

I wasn't referencing the old joke. I was making the joke anew. It aint a tricky joke. i do make lots of jokes I dont expect people to get but am surprised someone could get stuck on this not in fact being a verb.

It's okay i'm often surprised at stuff round here and it's not in itself important like the initial point about a strong reaction to injustice/brutality others being a cause of extremism. This is a serious political issue.

Of course. But what does the conjugation of irregular verbs have to do with a word that is not a verb?

although I do think this is an odd approach to trying to understand language use which leads to a lot of miscommunication. It's focusing on the difference rather than looking for the link where the point will usually lay.

Possibly using voice text when five pints to the good.

It would be very unkind to Rococco to suggest he coudnt cope with teh typoes

I'm leaning towards it beign more british than i realised. it just seems too triivial to miss but that may contain more culture than i think

How dare you accuse me of using voice text.

At half past ten at night it would have been a lot more than five pints.

Everything you said here is not true except the England part.

In this thread, we learn that mongo believes it is "useless" to know what a verb is. I fear for the future of the human race.

We've learned that liberals are liars and make up false narratives.

What did I lie about? What false narrative did I invent?


Spaceman B,

I wanted to let you know that I had a nice interaction with the girl working the drive through at a Wendy's

She seemed really genuine. She said have a nice night and I was like "yeah you too".

Wendy's is the only fast food chain that I know of that has chili.

Hopefully some of you are seeing this as well.


We're pretty far south, but with the naked eye you could see a very dark red in the sky. Pictures showed much more - somewhat like your second picture. My wife's daughter in Montana had some outstanding pictures with lots of green.
