two tomatoes walk down the street, but one lags behind and is overrun by a car. The other one turns around and says: "Come on" , "Catch up".
|
|
|
|
|
An aubergine heard that, and exclaimed "Oh my God! That's a walking, and talking tomato!", and it ran away in panic.

Well to be fair, we owned them for long enough.

And the Romans, Greeks, Indians, Germans, Vikings, Celts, Saxons, Picts, even the Australain Inflection has crept into the usage... just about every country has exported people here, and elements of their language have been absorbed.

Don't forget the Danes and the Irish

The Danes are descended from Vikings, and the Irish from Celts (as are the Scots and Welsh - there is still a lot of similarity in the three languages)

I think the Fresians would beg to differ and the Irish would probably claim it was the other was around but I get your point; being a mostly Irish slightly Viking Englishman born in a Roman city at the heart of the Fresian empire where ~Celtic Aelfred broke the power of the Danelaw it's easy to get mixed up.

The Romans and the Celts were here long before the English language was even thought of!

No, in English it's still called an aubergine. In American however ...
|

|
|
In SA English it is known as a brinjal.

So one day a kid was bored while being at the local Zoo and kept pestering his Dad to go and play.
Eventually his dad agreed, took him over to the lion enclosure, threw him in and said: There ya go, play dead...
Bottom line, don't be bored!

Err no. You seem to be under the misapprehension that we are your servants. Only my wife and kids get to treat me like I'm a slave.

And how others are treating you?

I expect others to treat me like a vengeful God.

Or vengeful devil.

So true, I believe it is the lot of the loving father to be treated like a slave and yet love their family none the less.

If you are bored, find something to do.

I found posting useless message on forum interesting.
|
|
|
|
|
There's a word for that: Trolling. It tends to get people banned here.

|
|
|
Seems you started taking it seriously.

Nope. It's a friendly warning that posting useless messages gets people voted out. We've seen it many times before. I'm prepared to give him the benefit of the doubt about this one, but given yesterdays useless post from this poster it's better to head this behaviour off before he gets a poor reputation.
If I really thought he'd been trolling I'd have voted on the post and the account. So far, I haven't. Poor Vasily Tserekh felt the wrath of many people for less, so let's help this poster become a welcome member of the community.

Nah. I don't think he is trolling. He even told us that he is bored. Okay it is not really polite (yeah the soapbox is overfilled with bad jokes and I won't believe that he already read them all - and so he should've read them first). Everyone can feel free to report his post (if anyone has a certain amount of rep points allowing him to vote) - but they did not. They started telling him jokes. So he is no troll (Or just a bad one).

See my post above - I didn't say this was trolling; establishing a pattern of useless posts on the other hand. This is his second - the meau meau was the first, and he's only made 8 posts.

I missed the context somehow when I was posting. Sorry.

Don't worry about it. His user name was so memorable that the post from yesterday stuck in my mind.
