You can go off some people

I don't think you mean what that means in slang useage here.

I just had no idea what you meant. It's stated strangely to my ears. It looks (to me) like you're suggesting Paidiske go murder a few folks. Very strange usage here. I thought maybe it was a typo, read it several times. If you'd said "can't" it would have made other sense to me.

But yeah slang usage can cause trouble. I've seen - no I've been caught by - MUCH worse. Bad enough I wouldn't be willing to explain it!

I thought the same thing. Suggesting Paidiske should do some dirty deeds done dirt cheap with silencers!

Awwww that's kind of sad lol.

If you take out CF and FB I am terribly unliked - I do very little calling or texting most days. It would probably last me a week if that's all I did on it.

Or you own an old Nokia, as in "I was so angry I threw my Nokia on the pavement. Now it's all broken. It doesn't even look like a pavement anymore."

FB is one bizarre place.

Not to derail the thread - it can be. Many Orthodox groups there are toxic and converts and even a few cradles are quick to attack people. I have a VERY carefully cultivated list of friends - not exclusively Orthodox but 98% and mostly priests, deacons, and monks, good teachers, a couple of bishops, and some very devoted laity. It's normally my little oasis to visit when I need to soak in some Orthodoxy but it takes work to make it that way. Since I allowed the Muslim gentleman to add me last week (he's some kind of well-known person it seems) ... I have been inundated with friend requests and comments from mostly Muslims.
