Ban this man! Insulting behaviour! Read the rules!!!
Can dish it out but can't take it huh? Typical American.
They do make a charming couple though, don't they? Wherever there is controversy to be stirred up, controversy that nobody is interested in, they'll be there. Wherever there's a cheap joke to be had, they'll be there. Wherever Americans think they're better than everyone else, they'll be there!

FROWNMAN AND BATBOY!
Fighting for truth, justice and the American way!

Victim complexes are very unbecoming.

You know, it's odd when you think about it. All this surfaced from a pithy insult/comment from Batty which I then tried to explain. Then you, Frown, started going on about how we "should be saying this", as if you people have the right to tell everyone how to speak. I constantly explained to you WHY we say these things, never saying that YOU should, just that we do.

And I'M the self-centred one? Go **** yourself.

You're right. You should try to control that impulse a bit more. Be more Zen, you'll live longer.

Are you familiar with the concept of etymology?

Thread is hotting up.

Asking about the origin of the word is fine. Saying "that's stupid, you should say it this way" is not. There is a difference. Yes I know what etymology is: isn't it the study of insects or something?

See, your problem is you're ****ing arrogant. You could have just said something like "well that's interesting but we don't say that", kind of what I did. But instead you kept insisting that your way was the right way ... oh hold on, I forgot who I was talking to. You always think that way. Never mind. As I said, waste of time.

:D

Inferior yet condescending. Typical Brit.
