WHO'S THE GRAMMAR NAZI NOW, SMARTASS?!!!

>> ^BoneRemake:

>> ^Quboid:
Does that expression strike anyone else as weird? "Take a crap"? Why would you take a crap, wouldn't it be better to leave one? "Cartman drops a crap on Mr. Garrison's desk".
I dunno why I'm bringing this up, it just always seems odd. I say it too, I'm not being a grammar Nazi here.

I appreciate your authentic view point.
My thoughts that occurred are that "take a crap " is shorter (as we are lazy) for "taking time to crap"
Or "crap" being the focus of the term, taking one instills a sense of bathroom break, " I am taking a bathroom break "
I dunno.
Crap.


From the Cockney. Mostly means "do the action involved with _____"

He took the Fifth.
Ahhh, I'm just taking the piss wit' ya.

Not an ad hom. I'm not saying you are 'like' Hitler. I'm saying you are literally the reincarnation of Hitler.
Proof:
1. You hate liberty
2. You hate freedom
3. You are a statist
4. You hate liberty
Also, let me correct your grammar because I am a master of written speech. That's "AN" ad hominem. You clearly hate grammar as much as you hate liberty.

Dude, Hitler's dead. Proof: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Death_of_Adolf_Hitler

You got me on the grammar thing though. Who knew you were such a grammar Nazi?

This video has been up for four years and no one was going to say anything about the description? One womens? This is wrong in so many ways. First of all, women is plural, so you can't have ONE women. Second of all, there should be an apostrophe before the "s" to make it possessive, especially since women is already plural, which is the reason "womens" isn't even a word in the English language.

Oh, and uh, yeah... rape is bad, Carlin is awesome.

[edit] Fixed now. Score another one for grammar nazis. No hard feelings. =)

Hey Opus,

I actually had to google it myself before I posted since I wasn't sure myself.

all right.
—Can be confused:  all right, alright (see usage note at the current entry ).
—Usage note
The form alright as a one-word spelling of the phrase all right in all of its senses probably arose by analogy with such words as already and altogether. Although alright is a common spelling in written dialogue and in other types of informal writing, all right is used in more formal, edited writing.
{EDIT} forgot the reference http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/alright
>> ^Opus_Moderandi:
Yeah, he does seem to be alright.



Well, bury me in an ant hill and smear me with jam. That'll teach me not to research my grammar nazi comments.
