Thread Name: BS: Samhain
Subject: RE: BS: Samhain
There are two meanings to the word ignorant. One is a lack of understanding. The other, as used here in Lancashire and I am sure in other areas, is similar to rude or bad-mannered. Thus, if someone pushes their way to the front of queue they would be an 'ignorant bugger'. If someone however was to show a lack of understanding in a particulary bad-mannered way I think the only term to use would be an ignorant ignoramus. Any use to anyone?

Cheers and belated Samhain wishes to all.

:D (tG)

(BTW - I thought it was pronounced some-when. Dunno why.)
