Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat is also difficult for....... From: Donuel Date: 25 Feb 08 - 07:51 PM Its difficult for anyone who is lacking in social graces which results in being not well liked, off putting and when one tries to overcome this handicap with wit which is sadly deficient in being sincere and spontaneous, ones words merely come out as a bunch of mixed metaphors. Is that whats troubling you bunky? well maybe not, but that has been my experience anyway. However if I wear a suit or an expensive ensemble there is no social handicap what so ever. People seem to then enjoy my remarks as if they are the wit of a well to do, wry cad. People do tend to believe the cover of a book or a dinner's presentation over real content and flavor. Its all marketing baby, its all marketing. ;<] |

Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat is also difficult for....... From: Bill D Date: 25 Feb 08 - 06:53 PM Hey...I have to ask, 'cause I really don't know - in Glasgow, or anywhere in Scotland, do the books and newspapers ever spell stuff like this?: "... thons the pot miscryin the kettle when it comes tae ..." and "...thocht an aw, ony news aboot that wee Jude, ah miss her oan here so ah dae. Wi her bit Glesca craic, an aw yon gallus patter." If so, is there a standard...and if not, why here? Little John Cameron used to do it...and Cuillinon (?sp?)...and I had to squint. |

Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat is also difficult for....... From: John Hardly Date: 25 Feb 08 - 04:51 PM I was adrift in the harbor. I floated past a depth marker and noticed it was covered with what seemed to be writing -- but I couldn't decipher a single word of it. Then a small boat came to my rescue. Above the small boat on a large banner was a sign that said: Read Here: Bouy |

Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat is also difficult for....... From: John Hardly Date: 25 Feb 08 - 03:22 PM Just name one GOOD thing that rhymes with "tout". It's all negative. And in a world where rhyming determines destiny -- a world of my own seriously warped imagining -- I think that the following make my case against "tout" self-evident. Well, except that I am pointing them out... Pout Out (after three strikes or a caught fly ball) Gout Lout Rout Flout Face it -- tout is a very bad word. But I don't hate all banjos. Just the ones that don't stay in their case. |
