It's an example of gutter talk propagated by criminals and no-hopers and adopted by kids because they idolise gangsters for some reason that I cannot fathom. Same as the undies visible above the jeans, the backwards baseball cap and the odd fascination with joggers.
I much prefer p*ss off, and if they don't get my point when I say it, that's their problem, not mine :D
Then again I prefer Pizz auf:rolleyes:Quote:

Wodwork, yes; Woodwork.
SORRY, the mind was wandering there for a mo:B
Lighten up silentC , look beneath the obvious.
I prefere the poetry of street talk, to the "OMy Gaad, Oh My Gaad" of the vally girl talk, or the "go the extra mile" corp speak.
Language has to change or we would be back with " wen april with its shoor soot the drouth of march hath pirsed to the roote (apollogies to Chaucer)
I often comfort my and my sons bad spelling with saying "bother Dr Johnson"
Did you watch robin hood as a kid?
Oh and Gingermick, That should have been "Bit ch", not "dog" i think.
Astrid:U
NO no no no, dog as in 'dawg'
(I saw it on the kids scooby doo movie)
Sorry GM, thought you were replying to my post
You see even street talk has gender specifics:U
It seems to me that a few people are being a little selective it the critisism of the misuse of grammar
EG how many here engoy Bessie Smith, and other great blues music.
"My mother told me.
When I was 6"
does'nt have quite the same ring as
My Momma dun tol me.
When i was in pigtails"
and one could go on

Oh yeah, gangster talk is just so deep, man... :rolleyes:
Nup sorry, those people have nothing to contribute to society except dodgy fashions, gaudy jewellery and suspect morals. :)
Oh yeah, and hip hop. Gotta love that....
Are these the only alternatives? What about just normal speech like the rest of us use? :)Quote:

some of the 'rude' people use the phrase MC. if you dont know what it means: Mad C***.Quote:

See? These people are idiots. And they set the trends our kids want to follow. There's no hope.
Stoopid Americans...
Dear SilentC, Maybe stay away from sharp objects for a while till you feel a bit better. Or have a nice cup-o'-tea.:D
Or maybe the problem is that you haven't been in the shed enough!:oo:
nah "fo shizzle my nizzle" is for the African brothers
"fo shigga my wigga" is for caucasian acquaintances
Im outa here...church
B Dawg :cool:
I feel just fine, thanks for asking :)Quote:

Arnt you being a bit arbitery here,
What is "normal speach"
I remember getting canned (another 70's word) by teachers for my beautiful english(vernicular) when i was a kid.
Some of this "incorrect" english is saxon or middle english and goes back 1500 years.
Are we talking purist BBC here, an invented speach adopted by the middle class?.
Do we start purifing the language as the english did to the welsh and the Irish,
or let it grow? (or shorten as the case may be:U)
So you would rather use the expression Pi ss of, that ask them not to disrespect you? Odd
Alas poor english, I knew it well,
Astrid:)
Stirlo,
Do you mean mad cows?:U
see what happens with censorship?
not that I'm complaining about the forum, I like it clean..................ish
And stick with the thought, I was saying Shakespeare thought Mc beth was wicked not a MC
