"fucktard"

I'd never heard this before I started reading these forums.


Kinda sounds like Farquard doesn't it.



Isn't that the dipshit prince from Shrek?


Yep. i was thinking about that earlier today (before I saw this thread), thinking that that was where the villain's name probably came from.

Does anyone else occasionally find themselves thinking in web-speak?
On occasion, I find myself wanting to insert "IMO" into a spoken comment, among other stupidities.



My wife says "LOL". [:/]


does she actually say the letters: el-oh-el, or "lol" like lol-llygagging? i've always wondered that about other people. i read/think it as the latter, but apparently that's weird?[:/]
Oh Canada, merci pour la livraison!

"Ass gasket" in reference to those paper toilet seat covers. Never heard it before reading it here.



Of all things, I learned that term from my grandmother about 15 years ago!! She was an electrician at Lockheed - one of the very few females who built planes in the 60's and 70's - and learned the term from her fellow workers.

I used to work at Microsoft and, way back when it was a fun place to work, there was a game that people would play at meetings called "Buzzword Bingo" or "Bullshit Bingo". Someone would print out a bunch of Bingo type cards with each square containing a stupid word that managers liked to use in meetings like:

Low Hanging Fruit (my favorite)
Streamline
Strategize
Ramp Up
At The End Of The Day
Bandwidth (used in conjunction with something other than actual network frequency range)
Pushback
Synergy

Everyone gets a card with different words and you cover your words with pennies as they are said in the meeting. When you cover all of your words, you stand up in the middle of the meeting and shout BINGO. You only did this if your job was secure or if you didn't care that your job wasn't. Or if you were new and stupid and people managed to convince you that "all the kids are doing it..."

This has nothing to do with Dot Com words or phrases, really, but this thread reminds me of it. I still can't figure out all of the abbreviations people use. For the longest time I thought that DH stood for 'Dick Head' instead of 'Darling Husband'. Interchangable most of the time, I suppose.
If you can't laugh at yourself, I'll be happy to do it for you.

My reality and yours are quite different.
