Floaters

just curious (man i must be bored!)..

anyone have "floaters" in your eyes?

those stringy little splotches that float across your field of vision.

Hmmm. Since I've had them since my teen years I don't see any reason to be alarmed. They're not getting worse it's just that sometimes you tend to focus on them more - thus the annoying part. Actually they're kind of like a built in kaliedascope.

Cock-a-goodle-doo

yep, that's how she says it.

and hamgurber.

my niece used to say "scum-screen".

Reportedly, when I was little, the "cotton bowl" was in reality the "cotton bull".

I'm not sure when the first great war became known as World War I but for me it was long War War I. Beats me.

I have a niece that until she was about 4 said O.E. for write. "I wanna O.E." We could never figure where that one came from.

Dallas On friday, what to do?

by Junction-Guy in

hi gang, i am trying to decide whether or not to just lay around the pool on friday morning and afternoon or do a walking tour of the downtown.

i believe if we hung around the hotel on friday we could be there to meet and greet those arriving.

we could always tour downtown dallas on saturday, however i heard that several of you are planning on saturday to be the pool day.

now that's worth a print

Words and Phrases from the UK

by Nosferatu in

this is mostly directed to all of you from the uk.

i listen to a lot of music from the uk, but there's some, i guess slang that i don't completely understand.. raw ramp: as in "you're a raw ramp".

i have no clue what this means.

I reckon this might be the place to ask a question...

some 15 years ago I worked with a brit and it was all bloody this and bloody that...and every guy was a bloke. Now then, since I tend to mimic those I'm around, the phrase "bloody bloke" came about and sounded quite british to me but I was continually told that it was NOT proper and didn't mean a bloody thing. "You cahn't say bloody bloke! Blimey, it don't mean a bloody thing, bloke."

So what's up with "bloody bloke"?
