Tactfulness

[Takeereasy]

To be honest I'd never want to insult anyone, I just hope that jokes can be taken in the nature they were intended.

What about those damn French Canadians, that come down here to Florida.
And screw up our already terrible driving system. Sheep knows about this...
Since his car was just demolished...

I'd be more worried about the speedos that the French-Canadian guys wear. Doesn't really compliment the pot-bellies or all the body hair.

I used to live in Florida (for a whole year) and I still remember all the tourists and the SHUDDER... man thongs. I lived on base housing but we had the Banana River in the back yard and the ocean was only a 15 min walk away. Nicest military housing I lived in as a kid was in Florida.

A quick review

In review of tact - for the more daft members not understanding its true nature (like irony - possibly the most misused word in the Engrish language).

Deft: On that Boise stuff - you might want to consider some other options.

Daft: What?! You dummy! That stuff sucks!!!

Deft: Honey - that's a great idea about the ballet. Hey, I was thinking. . .

Daft: Men in tights?! How about me on couch? And, I want new speakers.

Deft: No, you don't look fat in that (make sure you're actually looking when you say this). And, how about that DVD player?

Daft: I didn't know they made spandex shirts.

Deft: I'll listen to your $4,000 power cord if you'll play it through the $80k system.

Daft: Snakeoil!

This review is aimed at the dolts. You know who you are - you in the yellow sweater vest - you look like a tactless moron - yeah, stand up and show everyone what a buffoon you are. Are you tracking? SIT DOWN. (Why we even bother with these hopeless jackelopes is beyond me) OK, where were we? Right - the word tact originated from the Middle English word. . .

(secret test, which was that?)

Miklorsmith, I can listen to a lot, but I will not allow you to mock my sweatervest. Canary yellow is a power-colour.

Funny post miklor. Spandex shirts is a good one.

 

[brian32672]

Canary yellow is a power-colour.

Now that was a good one. LMFAO..

@#$%*+~ UofMich snobs and @#$% %$@#$# Scottish sheep #$%#ers...

And...meh! to the rest of you!

 

[jaxvon]

Rip, I'm not a snob, but there are plenty here. And also, the sheep f*#$@#s are WELSH, not Scottish. Just thought I'd straighten this one out before Buckle comes back and goes off the deep end.

I'll find you eventually Mr Woofer.

Another example: for the Simpsons fans out there - Lisa has mastered the art of "meh"

Meh would be a verbal thing, usually associated with nonchallance.

Example: You work in an office and your boss comes in and tells you that if you don't fix a security hole in your network fast everything will crash and the company will be screwed. You can either

A. Care, and respond with something like, "OH MY GOD I'LL GET RIGHT ON IT!!!"

or

B. Not care, and respond with, "Meh.".

"Meh" can also be used to express disinterest or aggrivation with a situation. The above example can still be applied.

STOP SAYING MY FREAKING NAME.

bah, god....meh.


a sheep makes a baaaaaa noise. Theres no "H" in it. I would know.....

I can assure you my car was not totalled by a french canadian, they're on the other side of the country. Maps, distance, I know its confusing with the imperial system, but its not THAT hard.

Another thing, If you all like making fun of sheep, your doomed. They are the only animal to be successfully cloned. baaaah baaah baaah, (sheep laughing noises).

I should start charging for the use of my name, I'd have enough money for a soda by now...

PS- Everyone knows the greeks are the sheep F&%$#^#. theres a joke to go along with it, but its not safe for these forums.

Not been watching the news lately eh?

PS: They've been cloning frogs & other non-mammals since the 80's.

frog Vs. Sheep.

Thats a hard one..... I think 70 pound sheep would crush the 1> pound frog.

I heard that if you shag them at the edge of a cliff, they push back harder...
