you are an adult is it really necessary to call it 'fauxnews'

Yes, yes it is.

He's not much of an adult, he plays video games like he's 12.

Hey NVH - why don't you get online with me and I'll show you just how well I play my war games. I'm at the top of the first person shooter boards, so really just stop talking trash. I will school your punk ass.

J,

I think that was a compliment. I've gotten my ass kicked by lots of 12 year olds on TF2.

Americans seem fixated with their asses. It's "kick ass" or "Betchyourass" and so forth and so on. I thought the horse took animal precedent in American history and mythology (Hollywood especially) but it's obviously subservient to the species and sub species; examples, among others, being classified as Endangered (EN) on the IUCN Red List (2). There are five recognised subspecies: the Mongolian wild ass (Equus hemionus hemionus) and the Indian wild ass or khur (E. h. khur) are listed under Appendix I of CITES; the Turkmen kulan (E. h. kulan) and the onager (E. h. onager) are listed on Appendix II of CITES (3); the Syrian wild ass (E. h. hemippus) is extinct.
The American language is rich in epithets and none more used than f---or sh-- but "ass" and "asses" is less jarring on the ear than the British "arses". One of the many language ass-ets to describe depth of serious or hunorous thinking.
Just an observation- my degree is in the Natural Sciences.

Sigger's Law

  • Sigger's Law: "As any discussion on terrorism grows longer, the probability of attributing terrorists with nuclear weapons (or similar destructive capabilities) approaches 1." Corollary to Sigger's Law: "Once such an observation is made, the discussion is finished and whoever mentioned terrorist possession of nuclear weapons has automatically lost whatever debate was in progress."
