Re: Stupidest question you ever heard...

Oh wow, a troll, who saw that one coming? I have been fooled and now am dishonored by my family. Now, as a forum, we crumble. Anyone else want to take this, I'm tired.

Re: Stupidest question you ever heard...

Language works how it works. It doesn't matter for original definition because a lot of the words we use today were not even "originally" words. First a word is created or a word is used out of context in a slang way. The slang becomes common speech among people. The speech becomes recognized enough that it becomes a part of culture. The dictionary is not used to dictate our language, but is used as an accommodation to such. If a word becomes used enough in a certain way, that definition makes its way into our expectations of that word. In this way, a virgin can be someone who is penetrated by a penis, or it can be someone who hasn't had sex, the same way that the common phrase "piss off" means leave. Pretending that phrase is nonsensical is not only idiotic, but is close minded to culture the bore it.

I don't really see how that's a stupid question.

I probably didn't word it exactly right what with it being posted 5 minutes after getting up, but it was also the way she said it and it not being a part of the current discussion they were doing in the class at the time. That and the girl in question was a known idiot.

Just after saying "Sorry ma'am, I'll bring you a clean glass."
(She was there long enough to see me go inside and sign in for work)
"How can you get away with this?"
"Ma'am, I've been here less than five minutes, I have nothing to do with this glass."

This isn't a question but I hate when people in the United states say there are 51 states.

Apparently so are Kentucky, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, and Virginia... at least in their formal titles...

And isn't Rhode Island "The Providence of Rhode Island and Plantations" or something?

Yeah, they're actually trying to get that part of their state name quietly removed right now.
