No, it wouldn't. It might imply, suggest or insinuate, but it wouldn't infer. You would be the one doing that.

I do like the one liner it spawned though: I've been coughing up so much mucus that people think I'm Phlegmish.

Partner Or more specifically the way this neutral word has been hijacked to mean 'the person with whom one is having a sexual relationship'. Now we have to put up with ambiguity if we wish to speak of a business partner, dance partner or any non-sexual use of the word. Conversely I think not enough use is made of delightul words like paramour and concubine.

That’s a charming word! In fact, most of its synonyms are pleasing words too: obsequious, sycophantic, oleaginous, all wholesome words that aren’t used enough.

I'll start. Winningest

I don't think it's as simple as North/South, I'm from the North and the midday meal has always been called lunch in my house. For the evening meal it would depend on whether we were having a full-on sit down meal in which case it was dinner or grabbing something quick before going out which would be tea. When I was with my now ex I'd often ask " Are you going to make dinner tonight or shall I do tea?" It was years before he caught on. I agree with you on "journey" and similarly "emotional"

His chair seems frightened.

Help! Help! The Sun was right! The Beast from the East is here! I can't get outside to my car! Somebody help!

Fantastic. An adjective for this thread, and also an adjective I despise. If you're describing something in such an admiring way, you've got so many gorgeous words to choose from. Tremendous is a tremendous word. Sublime? Glorious? Brilliant? Magnificent? Phenomenal? Amazeballs? (alright, maybe not that one) So why would one choose such a vacuous, dumbed-down word as fantastic? There's not that many words I dislike, though. The English language is fantastic.

Please use a condom when giving him some attention. Thank you.

Thank you. Not mine actually though, it is a lose English translation of what the Norwegian people think of him. Glad he is out of Norway for a few years anyway. Thanks for taking him off our hands for a while.

Fuck off! Err, I mean, yep, he's alive, despite rumours to the contrary.

If I may pedant... By that logic, the first century AD (or CE if you prefer) was only 99 years long as there was no year zero, so cant be a century. Logically, the first century AD is it's first hundred years, i.e. 1 AD to 100 AD; subsequent centuries hence start in (x)x01 and finish in (x)[x+1]00

WTAF? HAIR STYLING? Sorry, but, him, in a hairdresser? Or even a barbers? 'Fuck that shite, do I have a sharp knife? Why, 'yes'. Several in fact. Or scissors sharpened so much you'd slice your hand picking them up. Job done.

Top class political analysis!

Agreed 'winningest' is a bit much, but we know what it means so I don't see the crime. What could possibly replace it: 'Most successful'? I think not. That would infer 'success' is a synonym for 'wins', and it isn't. (Wayne Fontes is the 'winningest' head coach for the Detroit Lions, his overall record 67-71), 'The coach with the most wins'? Only a stilted ass would prefer that version. I remember once at a train station I heard a guy say 'that motherfucking motherfucker's a motherfucker!" And I knew exactly what he meant. Was the winningest sentence I've ever heard. SC

lovely word that describes all the old blokes in my local who get a hard on when some woman under the age of 40 walks in.

Yes yes yes. A ‘journey’ or a ‘rollercoaster’. Cunto clichés.

Robots (means you are going to lose your job.)(robotization is occuring in many sectors in Norwegian society, especially in Administrational and Educational institutions.)

In the spirit of the day can we give pause to think of The Mad Hatter and his sadly missing avatar? Is he not to trusted with one? (quite likely abused it) I think he needs one whether he likes it or not. Democracy in action, what should it be? And no leprechauns please. I vote for his old Billy Bob, it suited him imo.

‘Paradigm ‘. At my workplace around ten years ago we recruited a bloke who had a military background ( officer material apparently). Quite quickly he rose through the ranks on the back of spouting bullshit, making brave but ultimately dodgy decisions and an uncanny knack of being able to shift blame. In management meetings one of his favourite words was paradigm and it pissed me off as he as clearly from the ‘fur coat and no knickers’ brigade. Anyway after ten years and rising to position of COO our company finally saw through the bollocks sufficiently to fuck him off. I will always associate this word with this disingenuous individual.

But its Savage to mock a man dying of cancer? If this was an article making fun of the Clinton's marriage I bet you would partisanly find it Savage. For those of you that don't know what I am talking about look back at the John McCain thread.

Dirty Rotten Scoundrels is an excellent comedy.
