JCC Ender Sigh rags on 'Murica

My flag is flying at full mast.

The flag of my heart. #Eagle

Now, Jello et al, unless you're going to make fun of America the way Mr Follower has, pack up your bags and sod off my thread. Lest I make Mr Jeffries swear at you.

Though Diggy a few of the Muricans might object to the bit where he uses the c-word, as apparently since in America this word is never used how Brits and Australians use it it's misogynistic. We would argue that it's contextual culturally and they would get confused and very progressive (so people know they care, of course) and say, "but in Murica, it's misogynistic" and we'll patiently say yes, we know this, but it's not used that way here and they'll contort their faces further into confusion and say "but in 'Murica!" and we'll just call them the c-word because of the apparent distress it causes.

And enjoy it.

 

I use the c-word for friends and enemies equally. I'm an equal opportunity mysogynist.

 

It's a beautiful thing.

Mate of mine from near Swindon (Cricklade to be precise; lives in Sydney, I tell people he's from Slough) messaged me on Monday to say "Heard what happened in Martin Place today sport. [C-words]."

It was the most heartfelt condolence from a lazy fat bastard on a beach somewhere I've received.

 

I only use it for friends. I hold a very strong view that vaginas are very good things, and it doesn't make sense to me to call someone who is annoying me a good thing.

So I call them a "dry, yeasty [C-word]".

 

Get out.

 

A friend of mine uses the c-word matter-of-factly to mean 'mate', 'bloke', 'unfortunate situation' and as an alternative for any other noun.

As in 'hello ye [c word]! How's Dave? I ****ing love that [c word]. What a [c word] that his fight got stopped. He'd have 'ad that [c word] if the ref 'adn't stopped the [c word]'

In other news, I find Dudley Moore's contribution here to be sub par but Peter Cook rescues the final minute.

Love it.

"I was at Spurs, and dis bloke came up to be and said 'ello"
"Provocative ****er."

 

I don't know for sure he's american, but I like to think so.

 

The audacity of the ****.

 

Don't you ****ing "yaargh!" me! And I really kicked his ear in, you know. I bunged him right in the ear with me left boot.

And do you know he still had the audacity to come out with "hhhhuuueeergh I'm dyyyyying".

Well. What would I say to that? I just walked away. I left the situation. I wasn't going to be put upon in that way.

 

Quite right that we don't know for sure - it's hard to tell from this angle how many Allied troops he's fired upon.

 

Using tapatalk on my phone so difficult to tell but that looks like an m4 carbine, which makes it likely he's a yank.

Also, he appears to be aiming it at a wall directly in front of him, which makes it almost certain.

 

i never liked the c-word. always hated the norwegian version of it too. AND I DON'T CARE IF YOU'VE MOVED ON FROM THIS TOPIC

 

Was the wall perhaps erected by the Royal Engineers?

Yes, but, if someone's being a c-word, what else do you call them?

And how do you show a mate that you value their friendship if you can't call them a silly c-word?

 

WELL WE'RE BACK ON TOPIC NOW!

***although this is from a genteel afternoon show on british television it contains a c-word so, y'know, don't click play if you believe in baby jesus and his army of flapping wizards. Flaps lol***

Edit: oh bugger... the very word c wordflaps appears in the youtube preview. On tapatalk so can't link. Copy, paste, swap * for t.

yes as a general rule, OZK, if you could **** right off from this thread it would be much appreciated.

slightly_unhinged - the worst job I ever 'ad was with Jayne Mansfield. She's a fantastic bird, but I 'ad the terrible job of retrieving lobsters... from her bum.

 

Judging by the angle of his weapon, he's about to kill the block wall….or ricochet back and kill himself.

 

Gotta love Derek and Clive!

 

Let's face it; a lot of lobsters fancied her bum.

 

slightly_unhinged:..... there was the same ****ing bogie on the bedspread. I thought, "**** me! I only collected this one last night and th-, there's the **** lying on the ****ing bedspread again", you see. And I d-, I-, I-, you know, I thought I was seeing things. I had a feeling of deja vu.
Ender:Well, it must have been tricky for you 'cause I remember hearing stories about Winston's bogies which were unbelievable because, erm, you know, he could produce a bogie as big as, er, er, w-, the Titanic. Ohh, it was dreadful .....
slightly_unhinged:You know-, you know why?
Ender:He threatened Hitler with it, didn't he?
slightly_unhinged:You know what happened?
Ender:He threatened Hitler with it.
slightly_unhinged:Well, the bogie that was as big as the Titanic.....
Ender:Yeah.
slightly_unhinged:..... was in fact the Titanic! Did you know that?
Ender:Well, this is-, this is what I heard!

 

She encouraged them though. It was a 50/50 arrangement.
