It isn't terribly happy viewing, is it?


I watched the first part last night, and I've just started the second part. Quite sad, this stuff.

Hmm, after two years of working fine, it appears Avast is no longer reporting its updated status to Vista, so Vista is going to keep warning me about a lack of virus protection.

I'm doing my CV the way THE MAN told me to. In fact he said:

"If it doesn't look like the one I gave you when I see you Monday, there'd better be a good explanation".

THE MAN said lawyers like MONEY and have to deal with PEOPLE so including things that involve both is a GOOD THING.

So, under "Interests" I've listed Pimping. As that ain't easy.

Looks real to me.

She is probably 5ft 2-4 and standing on a slope which makes the cow look even bigger. Also the cow is nearer to the lense which adds to the effect.

Note that her hand may not be on the cow's rump -- she might be stood a few feet behind the cow. You can't see the hand itself.

That is also not a cow. And never was.

@Dim: A bitch is a female dog. A dog is a male dog (although, technically, you could argue the term is canine).

But there is.

Cow means female cow

Bull means male cow.

bad/wicked/sick also colloquially mean good. So if someone said to you: "That concert was wicked man." you would take them to mean that it was evil?

Please be as specific as possible. If this was Family Fortunes (or Family Feud for those living stateside) then I think the top answer would be the only answer.

A lecturer of mine at uni spent a large part of his PhD rolling around in the sow's pens in overalls, then getting in with the boy pigs so they could get ready to be collected from. he's a far braver man than I.

Yeah, but I'm fully aware that cows are only female cows, but the fact that these sentences even make logical sense, shows the dual nature of these words

Cows are female cows.

Dogs are male dogs.

Men are male men.

It doesn't work with Sheep, as you have Ewe and Ram.

But to me the first 3 sentences are the same as

An orange is orange.

A violet is violet.

It's just people being lazy when coming up with the language.

That's more akin to Hoover meaning Vacuum cleaner and Cellotape meaning sticky tape and so on.
