submission - the act of submitting something

[Macky]

Callipygous is a good word

Try to use it as often as you can

Fabulous word homer.
You're my hero, I wish you were my dad

 

[tedfoxxx]

Fabulous word homer.
You're my hero, I wish you were my boyfriend

Gross.

 

[Jeff]

A new one on me.

It's a perfectly cromulent word.

 

[fcukcov]

Ive googled it and i have to say now knowing the definition i can't think of a better word to use in that context!

 

[Macky]

I think now would be a good time to shout "CENTRE-HALF!!!"

 

[bocadillo]

hmmm

submittance - no such word

It was you who used it, not me.

IMO, there is such a word, as in submittance to a greater power (or similar).

 

[bocadillo]

It's a perfectly cromulent word.

There are people who would argue that 'cromulent' is not a cromulent word. And in any case, I was not suggesting that it was not so - only that it was new to me, i.e. I had never heard it or of it in the past.

 

[Jeff]

There are people who would argue that 'cromulent' is not a cromulent word.

It's a perfectly cromulent word.

 

[bocadillo]

It's a perfectly cromulent word.

Yes, I know. I do watch more than an occasional episode of The Simpsons. My point stands.

 

[MKFox]

I heard one the other day.

Berk.

Shortened version of the cockney slang, Berkshire Hunt....

Not to be used in polite company, so you'll be fine singth

 

[bocadillo]

Shortened version of the cockney slang, Berkshire Hunt....

Berkeley Hunt. If it was Berkshire Hunt, it would be pronounced 'bark'.

 

[MKFox]

Berkeley Hunt. If it was Berkshire Hunt, it would be pronounced 'bark'.

indeed, thanks boc.

In fact we sabbed the berkeley beagles about 20 years ago and were delighted as they didn't kill that day. Then I was dropping a few off home and I ran over a badger...bit ironic. big ****er it was too, took the wing off my old 1 litre golf!

Brilliant, MK's a former terrorist!

:icon_lol:

 

[Billyjof]

But was it ironic?

 

[Billyjof]

Well okay you said it was a bit ironic so i'll give you the benefit.

 

[Jeff]

Brilliant, MK's a former terrorist!

Nothing former about it. He's one of the IRA's most successful suicide bombers.


I would have said Al-Qaeda instead, but they might kill me. And with the Irish all being really stupid, it makes more sense to say the IRA.

 

[Steven]

Berkeley Hunt. If it was Berkshire Hunt, it would be pronounced 'bark'.

If "Berkeley Hunt" is not pronounced as "bark" to begin with then surely that that is the American pronunciation? :icon_conf
