Satty's Word Of The Day

[Rebabaluba]

Ummm MCG this thread is called "Satty's Word of the Day", not "MCG's Word of the Day"! I'm pretty sure that Saturnine is gonna cyber-kick your ass!

[saturnine]

middleclassgangsters word of the day:

cucumber-sandwich pronouced "yum-e"

a cucumber-sandwich is a tasty treat enjoyed by only the most privliged. many think cucumber-sandwich is two words but they are wrong.

example: go fetch me a cucumber sandwich before a become grumpy and irritable.

 

 

 

 

randomness quota for wednesday august 10th 2005 = met

I like it........maybe not the sandwich but I think that is far more usefull than any of the words saturnine has given us.....or anything he has to say for that matter.

right.. because words are useless. omg poopy!

[middle class gangster]

im not very interested in starting a middleclassgangster word of the day thread. Mostly due to the fact that it would be pointless boring and no one would give a flying fuck about it.

 

but the definition of cucumber-sandwich had to be returned to the people.

 

your welcome.

I posted Clepsydra without permission and she sent me to Dayton, Ohio for three weeks. If you want cool words like Clepsydra, e-mail me behind the dumpster of Tim Horton's.

I take it back. They're not completely useless. Just the other day I told your mom that us getting together at night consumes me so much all day that it is the leitmotif of my entire day.

Thanks for educating me!

[saturnine]

a mom joke. awesome.

a mom joke. awesome.

Almost as awesome as someone thinking a thread about big words would usefull somehow.

[mrs jesus]

are you retarded?

 

how is a thread of words people may not have heard before (all neatly defined and used in a sentence, even) NOT useful?

clearly people care about it, or have you not noticed the amount of replies this thread has?

 

and it's YOU'RE welcome, dumbass.

[Vance]

In case you havn't noticed, the majority of the replies are making fun of you and this thread.

ok

 

you should work on not being such a walking cock.

it really doesn't flatter you.

[Vance]

I'm sorry, the replies wern't making fun of you, they were making fun of saturnine. The reason the majority of us havn't heard of these words is because they are words we will never use. That is why telling us what they mean in a thread - even in nice sentences - is useless. Do you honestly think these words will now come accross in your every day conversation?

god forbid people should want to improve their vocabulary. these words won't come up in every day conversations because most people are content being uneducated simpletons. listen to real people speak.

 

forget about the replies, notice the 1300 views. apparently people are interested

There's really no point putting down each other's threads.

 

There's obviously some people that are learning or are at least interested in what has been posted.

 

Perhaps the problem is that I live in Hamilton. The clouds of smog in our air are constantly burning up my brain cells leaving no room for new information without first pushing out something old out.

 

No reason to argue or be critical....especially with people we don't even know.

 

Peace and love.

[saturnine]

hamilton has that effect on some people.

What good is your word if you don't even define it?

Aside from being a word that could pretty much never be used in any conversation anywhere.
