What is offensive language?

Well, if an acronym spells a real word, it cries out for punning does it not?

Speaking of awful puns, it seems they have renamed the Sydney
Opera House the "Oprah House". Now that is what I would consider
seriously unfunny.

i.e. I am merely attempting to render this TYPICAL (SIC)
USA-biased discussion accessible to the rest of the world.
Yes. You'll find it on some maps.

Don't get mad, get even. Post about whatever the Torries are doing these days and don't provide a gloss for the Americans.

Hmmm. I'm sure this post was well intentioned in every respect,
but I'm having a bit of trouble interpreting it.

Are the Torries anything to do with that oil spillage in the
Canyon a few years back?

I could continue

You were apparently annoyed at Americans talking about American politics without explaining it to non-Americans. I was suggesting that you do the same with British politics. (Of course you could pick the politics of any nation you liked, or even a topic other than politics.)

You are reading far to much into the origin of this
"mainly" humo(u)r(o)us exchange.

OK I didn't remember what ERA stood for, (and didn't care).
RDS is always worth teasing, so in response to his use of said TLA
I posted a four word reply, namely "What era was that?"

Cue snotty post from Rogue.

As I posted recently "DON'T YOU AMERICANS DO ANYTHING BY HAND THESE DAYS?"

I believe that you are the only one laughing at your attempts at humor. I don't find your posts particularly punny. I actually find most of them quite annoying. Of course it could be the difference between snotty people like me and everyone else.

Congratulations, you have won a prize. You have made it to my ignore list. You are the second person to achieve that goal. Considering that I have been on this forum for more than 7 years on, that is quite an honor.

Tried to find ROFL but couldn't. (Funny that).

Perhaps you would be kind enough never to post to me again.

Or is that option not available yet?

David

PS You asked for that.

To end on a more humor(sic)ous note, who was the first on your
ignore list?

PPS He offered her honor, she honored his offer,
and all night long it was honor and offer.

PPPS Shakespeare walks into pub.
Landlady: You're Bard.

Quite enough for now.

Are we talking aqueous, vitreous or special brew here?

(Not too confident about my IOUs, be it spelling or otherwise).

I'm not casting pearls before swine again, am I?
More likely trying to make a silk purse from a pig's ear.
Or was that cow's? Until I think of a joke about it, or
(less likely) Googol the exact phrase, I really couldn't give a Yank.
I didn't get where I am without mixing a few metaphors,
but I do like omelettes, and even know how not to make one.

Bon appetit Rogue.

David

PS withheld do to dryness of humor/mouth.

I prefer it that way.
It may be punnier than you like it sir.
I don't care how 'king punny it is,
give me that Camembert from La Belle Paese.

Maybe we are both a bit xilmaned out.

Oh dear, the cat's eaten it.
