  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Ha, my lab group for physical anthropology just invented the "Tifibula" (Plural: Tifibulae). This is a combination of Fibula and Tibia (lower leg bones). I now use it in everyday conversation, and it's a running joke with our entire class. Such as, "Man my tifibula's really hurtin today!"

We discovered a problem with this new term during the bones of the body test when we actually had to remember the actual terms "fibula" and "tibia" and all we could remember was "tifibula."

Aw man the fondness I have for gamer speak is great. I actually had an English class where my teacher was writing his dissertation on the "language" of MMORPGS. Great stuff. My favorites are pretty much all the versions of "Noob", such as:

"newb", "noob", "nub", "n00b" ----> all pronounced "Newb" and meaning "player who is new at the game and therefore sucks and will get all his friends killed."

Other variants meaning the same: "Newbie," "Noobsauce."

My personal additions that my friends and I all now use (but I coined! Go me!):
1. "Re-Newb", meaning "one who is not new to the game but has not played for a long time and is therefore equivalent to a noob"

2. "PermaNoob", meaning "one who is not new to the game but has the general competency of a newt and will therefore forever and always be a total n00b at heart."

Man, now I want to play WoW...

No you don't; not in the long run anyways.

I was hooked on that game in a bad way. As soon as you start doing 20 or 40-man raids you're non-work life is shot.

I've played WoW recreationally for a year and a half now, I've done many 20-man raids, and I manage good grades and a healthy non-school life. Addictions are very personal and vary on a case-by-case basis. What becomes an addiction for one person may not be for another. Some people can keep it in moderation, others can't. Personally, I don't have the attention span or the stamina to be really addicted to a video game. I like my "real" life too much. But I think it's wonderful that you were able to be strong and get away from your addiction.

So, yes, I do want to play WoW. But that is not to be confused with "I want to play WoW at the expense of all other things."

Sorry people...end of thread hijack...

Nor sure how to spell these...

"Flibbertyjibbert" is a noun for someone who's all, like, flibbertyjibberty.

And, my favourite is "Shperdoinkal!" to express shock and awe. Few events in life warrant a shperdoinkal, though.

Aww, Uniting! I never see you round here! Is so nice to bump into you

Is shutzpah the same as chutzpah? Like a yiddish word for being quite "ballsy".

Ooh, I tend to add "ness" and "ly" to words that shouldn't have it. Like muchly and lotsly, and "Things with green-ness rock!"

There's also a phrase round these parts: "Much of a muchness" which means more of the same.
