Subject: BS: PISS - Our most versatile word? From: Billy the Bus Date: 25 Jul 04 - 12:04 AM G'day, PISS - is the most versatile word in the English Language I reckon! A couple of decades back I wrote a long paragraph where the word "piss" (and derivatives) never occurred more than four words apart. I may be able to reproduce it - but let's see what you Catters come up with. Here's a few clues. The paragraph covered... 1. Liquids from the weather, through alcohol imbibing to excreting. 2. Emotions from laughter to aggression. 3. Mnay US/NZ(UK) expressions were 'culturally opposite' 4. There was more... BUT... Piss off - I'm off on the piss... Please add your piss-useless paragraphs here.. Cheers - Sam |

Subject: RE: BS: PISS - Our most versatile word? From: GUEST Date: 25 Jul 04 - 02:54 AM Piss off, pissant! You really pissed me off by getting pissed and high and driving around Piscataway while it was pissing with rain. It was piss-poor judgment. If you'd been piss-tested or breathelysed, you would have pissed away your life savings paying the fine. |

Subject: RE: BS: PISS - Our most versatile word? From: GUEST Date: 25 Jul 04 - 03:46 AM What the fuck is that supposed to mean, Blackcatter? (seriously, I don't get it. I would understand it with any noun except FUCK; e.g. "the fucking fucker's car is fucking fucked." But how can his fuck be fucked?) As they say in my neighborhood: that's fucked up, man. |

Subject: RE: BS: PISS - Our most versatile word? From: Joe_F Date: 26 Jul 04 - 08:55 PM I think there is another four-letter word that is even more versatile: What the hell! A hell of a good time. A hell of a thing to do. The hell you say! Give 'em hell. Hell's bells! Run like hell. Boil the hell out of it. To hell with it! Hell, I don't care. Raise hell. |
