Wyldnwoody44 Posted August 25, 2017 Report Share Posted August 25, 2017 The snap sound from snapping your fingers is generated by your finger hitting your palm, not your finger and thumb After much scientific research (me playing with my hand for 5 minutes) I agree with this hypothesis, and hearby name this, the WildCard snap theory.

Sabres Fan in NS Posted August 25, 2017 Report Share Posted August 25, 2017 So, now I know of another reason why I am happy to be living in the Great White North ... no death spiders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WTF is this!? https://twitter.com/Deadspin/status/901079925179940869 I had at least one gym teacher in grade school who called it that. No idea if he was Canadian though.

ubkev Posted August 27, 2017 Report Share Posted August 27, 2017 Ya ever clean out an attic in August? Don't do that. That is definitely a November activity. It is 113 degrees up there. Holy that's hot! The downside is I can't feel my legs. The bright side is, I'm so dehydrated and sweat sheened that I look ripped as hell.

Last year when I was there it was 99 degrees. They had an ice bar that was like 10 degrees or something. I spent 30 minutes in there in shorts and a t-shirt without a blanket drinking blue lights.the tourists were looking at me like I was one of the side show freaks from the midway.

shrader Posted August 29, 2017 Report Share Posted August 29, 2017 I was stuck in bumper to bumper traffic this morning and the liger directly behind me had his high beams on. That went on for 20 minutes until he finally figured it out. The worst part was that he matched three different turns I made, so each time when I thought I was finally rid of him, boom, there he is again. There needs to be a way to signal ligers behind you to turn off their highs other than just the classic middle finger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shrader Posted August 29, 2017 Report Share Posted August 29, 2017 I'm unfamiliar with this use of "liger." I've been testing it out randomly. I'm hoping to make it a thing. I'll sub it in for any obscenity, kind of like watching an episode of the smurfs (you know, minus the obscenity thing). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattPie Posted August 29, 2017 Report Share Posted August 29, 2017 (edited) I've been testing it out randomly. I'm hoping to make it a thing. I'll sub it in for any obscenity, kind of like watching an episode of the smurfs (you know, minus the obscenity thing). Forget liger, I really like the idea of bringing smurf back. Only a smurfing liger would invent a new word when there's a perfectly good word that already exists.

Many years ago I was watching some heavily tv edited version of something with Sam Jackson in it, and one of the censor phrase substitutions for m*other f*cker was "melon farmer", which stuck around real easy because of how dumb it was.

Yes! Jabroni is excellent. As is dingus! Post Harry Potter, I deployed "dingledork" as a variation. Melon Farmer is fantastic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darksabre Posted August 29, 2017 Report Share Posted August 29, 2017 Somewhat related, but I've been seeing the word "hackery" getting a little more use lately in a lot of journalism pieces and I'm starting to take a shine to it. I think it really perfectly describes the current state of a wide range of things going on in this country right now, especially things like critical thinking. We're drowning in "thought hackery".
