| #2LFKJun 15, 2011 12:36:49 | Well, Harper's Conservative government has made law and order a issue since the beginning. On that note I'm reminded that the Tory website was hacked a few weeks ago by someone calling themselves LulzRaft. Overall an unremarkable story, but the CBC article about it had to have a sidebar explaining what "lulz" are. In the same vein, though, before the election the House did jump in pretty quick to force the CRTC to re-draft Usage Based Billing, so they haven't been single-mindedly negligent of citizen access to the internet over corporate profit. Just, you know, generally negligent. Hmm, reminds me, I haven't written Steve in a few weeks. This'd be a good one to send him a "take a chill pill" note over. |
| #3pluisjenJun 15, 2011 12:56:26 | Except the correct plural is "lullen". Which also happens to be a verb, and means "talking a lot about nothing". The more you know! |
| #4pluisjenJun 15, 2011 13:42:08 | We have plenty of them. It seems to be some sort of national tradition to convert slang terms for genetalia into verbs. (Lul is a slang-term, because technically we also use "penis") For example the slang-term for vagina is "kut" and yeah, that means there's also a verb made of it. "aankutten", which means "messing around with something without knowing what you're doing". We are an odd people, sometimes. |
| #5LFKJun 15, 2011 13:45:23 | the slang-term for vagina is "kut" ... "aankutten", which means "messing around with something without knowing what you're doing". Makes sense. |
| #6pluisjenJun 15, 2011 14:08:59 | ... I suppose, when you look at it like that, yes. It does describe a large part of the male population I guess. |
| #7LFKJun 15, 2011 14:54:21 | Also it's not actually that unusual. "**** around" means wasting time. |
| #8homicidal_squirrelJun 15, 2011 15:02:45 | How is the government going to react? The same way it reacts to everything... ... ... ... ... ![]() |
| #9zombie_babiesJun 15, 2011 15:48:47 | I think it's more *searches for middle finger emoticon* ... damn. Oh well, you get the idea. |
| #10LFKJun 15, 2011 15:55:10 | Also it's not actually that unusual. I think you're thinking of "****" the noun, as in "I gave her a good, swift ****." |
| #11boraxeJun 15, 2011 15:58:03 | On that note I'm reminded that the Tory website was hacked a few weeks ago by someone calling themselves LulzRaft. Why do they ned a sidebar? All they need to do is add (slang for "laughs" used primarily by people with no sense of humor) after the first usage in the article. |
| #12Robin_HoodlumJun 15, 2011 16:04:45 | Also it's not actually that unusual. You nut precisely when you mean too, right?! ![]() |
| #13MaxpersonJun 15, 2011 16:11:01 | Also it's not actually that unusual. And "****footing around" means to act cautiously |
| #14LFKJun 15, 2011 16:11:48 | Why do they ned a sidebar? All they need to do is add (slang for "laughs" used primarily by people with no sense of humor) after the first usage in the article. Because the CBC's primary readership is either middle-aged, square, or both. Though their sidebar was at least a bit interesting, something about it being an internet idiome similar to the concept of schadenfreude. |
| #15LFKJun 15, 2011 16:12:42 | And "****footing around" means to act cautiously Yeah, though I do think that one's a reference to cats rather than vaginas. |
| #16MaxpersonJun 15, 2011 16:18:45 | Also it's not actually that unusual. That would be a verb as it describes an action being done. |
| #17MaxpersonJun 15, 2011 16:20:30 | And "****footing around" means to act cautiously Yeah, but it sounds like a vagina! ;) |
| #18LFKJun 15, 2011 16:27:10 | That would be a verb as it describes an action being done. Strictly speaking it's a gerund, the noun-form of a verb, but given the context it's more like the word "kick" in that I can kick or I can give someone a kick. I can even use it as the subject: The kick was ferocious, but missed the mark. The **** was great and terrible. The **** was, at best, lacklustre and tinged with shame. It's a complex case because actions are, in isolation, a thing and thus describable as nouns. |
