"Teh Forum Meats are synonymous with such silliness and are referred to as such for reasons I'm not sure of".
As we sometimes say on this end of the pond "sounds brown!"
This is that most subtle of British things - the conceit.
No real meat is actually present*, unless Peter orders some on his pizza (possibly) or brings a ham sandwich with him.
*(never been to a meat, so take this with a pinch of salt)**
**(I have no idea is any salt makes it's way to the meats. Maybe if some of them are cured, then you'd probably find a bit)
"...so take this with a pinch of salt".
So you're saying they're not as salty a bunch as they initially appear? :P
I don't any more either. :C
In fact I can't remember the last time I had ANY sandwich.
I prefer salads/pasta mixes nowadays. :|
I have never personally licked any forum member.
You'll have to ascertain individual salinty on a person by person basis.
"...it's not in the slightest bit *unsavoury*".
It's just like with "color". With the exception of "hour", you guys always get it wrong. :P
I came across this "proposal". Maybe it will help resolve future differences:
A proposal for simplifying the spelling of English and its associated idiosyncrasies.A large amount of typing errors are caused by 3 reasons: 1. Carelessness I now strongly suggest we should try to simplify the language. To try and do this in one attempt could be disastrous, so I think we should phase it in over a 5 year period. My suggestions are as follows, and I hope you will agree. In the first year, "s" will be used instead of the soft "c". Sertainly, sivil servants will reseive this news with joy. Also, the hard "c" will be replased with "k". Not only will this klear up konfusion, but keyboards kan have one less letter. There will be growing publik enthusiasm in the sekond year, when the troublesome "ph" will be replased by "f". This will make words like "fotograf" 20 per sent shorter. In the third year, publik akseptanse of the new spelling kan be expekted to reach the stage where more komplikated changes are possible. We will enkourage the removal of double letters, which have always been a deterent to akurate speling. Also, al wil agre that the horible mes of silent "e"s in the languag is disgraful, and they would go. By the forth year, peopl wil be reseptiv to steps such as replasing "th" by "z" and "w" by "v". During ze fifz year ze unesesary "o" kan be dropd from vords kontaining "ou", so Soup will then be known as Sup and similar changes vud of kors be aplid to ozer kombinations of leters. After zis fifz year, ve vil hav a reli sensibl riten styl. Zer vil be no mor trobls or difikultis and evrivum vil find it ezi tu understand ech ozer. Ze drem vil finali kum tru. |
"Jesus. I saw that when it was going round by fax".
I have no idea of when/where it originated. Someone emailed it to me a few years back. It may certainly be way older than that. Regardless, it came to mind, so here it is. :/
I'll go for your forehead.
Is there a scale already in use for how salty things are? If not, I'm going to invent one, using your body as a guide.
I'll need to find the saltiest and non-salty areas of your body, then map them all out on a diagram.
I'll draw it at the same time as I do the nude portrait of you.
