Good. Cause that may be in bad taste...

Would it be in better taste if they were stuffed with chicken?

But now you're taking it literally, it's not always or indeed often, meant like that. I do remember "I'm a W@nker" being a big hit here in the UK. Surprisingly it never got much air time on the Beeb

I'm with CB on thinking thats what it meant. But then I can certainly understand how it has a whole range of deeper meanings depending on context. There are a few phrases in Russian that can easily (at least when used as a root word) mean at least 15 different things, depending on context.

BTW, would either of you guys care to explain "dog's bollocks"?

I still don't understand how we managed to make a game that pisses off fanboys on both sides. Don't think that's been done before...

Dont flatter yourself. The game is just pissing off people who cannot take the reality of having their asses handed to them in grave, contemplative silence.

That's why I listen to music whilest replaying turns. That way I can have my arse handed to me, but without the grave, contemplative silence. Maybe I can find a nice funeral dirge to listen to or something.

What I've never 'gotten' is the recoil in horror with use of 'bloody' in Englishisms. I know that approximate equivalent here would be the F-bomb, but still. It's always struck me as an odd 'ultimate' epipthet.

Yeah, I got a couple of lectures on the improperness of the phrase. By a woman who then dropped the "f" bomb every other word.

Your wife?

I don't think so. I've never heard anyone say "grass off you flaming wanker!" .

No. But it does seem very fitting for the Geezer thread.

I'd always guessed that meant that things were gravitating towards one's ventral nether regions (e.g., 'bottom'), but I'm just guessing here.

What he's trying to say is that it means one has a gigantic ass.

For complete depression you can choose Mahler's dead kid fest or Neil Young's Harvest. I can never make it through Harvest without starting to look for the razor blades.

Enough deep thoughts. Happy hour fu.
