You mean somthing like Cockney Rhyming Slang?

"telephone" is replaced by "dog" (= 'dog-and-bone')
"wife" by "trouble" (= 'trouble-and-strife')
"eyes" by "minces" (= 'mince pies')
"wig" by "syrup" (= 'syrup of figs')
"feet" by "plates" (= 'plates of meat')

Resulting in...
"It nearly knocked me off me plates—he was wearing a syrup! So I got straight on the dog to me trouble and said I couldn't believe me minces."

Throw in a bit of an accent and there you have it, pure gibberish.

Totally lemon right mate?


>> ^Phreezdryd:

It's not just the accents, but the different lingo or slang you may not be familiar with that can make what they're saying sound incomprehensible.

Language changes to muddle the issue, so you would generally agree with what they say if it were your friend or relatives saying those same words. That way if you repeat what a politician says to someone else, it sounds completely reasonable. The true intent is not among the soundbytes and quotes, they are there for mass appeal.

The purposefully try to muddle the conversation so there's so much redefinition of the words that you can't even begin to argue with them...because no one knows what the hell the other side means when they say each word.

If your point was in the best interest of the people you represent (IE not corporations) there would be no need for all this. And this is why I don't understand when plain spoken people who don't mince words aren't more popular. At least then it isn't like the guy is speaking a foreign language that sounds a lot like the one everyone else uses.

According to an unreliable source I found while googling, prior to 1877 it was always called cottage pie no matter what leftover meat was used to make it.
If I make cottage pie though, I use beef mince and make sure it's got some carrot and peas
>> ^Seric:
Shepard's Pie - traditionally British.
Also, something I don't get with other countries, Shepard's pie is LAMB. Not beef, that's a Cottage pie. Not damn TURKEY, that's some other kind of damn pie...
Shepard - sheep.
Think about it.

....I would accept "Turkey Shepard's Pie"



Hear hear! Carrots and peas are a must :>

Interesting fact regarding historical pie nomenclature, I'd no idea. Still, people should update their culinary cognomen to post 1877 to make me happier :B

We might like to eat it, but it's really English cuisine.
This recipe is pretty close to how I'd make it, except I'd put in some (1 tablespoon) chopped fresh rosemary, and might use chopped leftover roast lamb instead of mince:

Shepherd pie is usually an Australian/NZ cuisine, no? Eh well, the video does make me hanker for a couple of frozen chicken pot pies. Either that or its the joint I just smoked. Mmmmm howdy!



Thanks for the info! Man that pie in that link looks tasty. om nom nom...

Doesn't mince words, does it?

Not to mince words, but it's not snuff. A "snuff" movie shows the actual death or murder of the individual. Definitely *gore though, and worthy of an addendum to the FAQ. And on that note, I'm gonna go barf...

meanwhile, a mutant form of e-coli bacteria (the reason we cook burgers) is killing scores of europeans and it's heading to america.
talk about a inconvienient truth.
Just like those republicans in Missouri that were trying to cut funding for tornado warnings. Right before the tornado wrecked Joplin.

Living in fear, are we? It's a rare burger. Not a tornado warning system.


Its probably not a good idea to cook Minced meet rare , if the burger is made from a single cut stake and not reconstituted meet then it should be fine , the whole point of evan frying cow meet at all Evan when u want it blue is that the inside is generally sterile but the outside accumulates bacteria. Its likely that the general quality of meat in usa might be worse than other places partly due to the size of usa and the longer transport time of stock.

I think it's an apt comparison. There's spmething in her sneering commentary that reminds me of her. This isn't a girl who is disillusioned about the bible, this is someone who hates God. For all you idiots know she could be a satanist. There are quite a few satanists who put out this kind of commentary to smear God, knowing full well He exists..but just playing to the religious beliefs of secular humanists.

Hell is for sinners who won't turn from their sins. You don't seem to care where you're going so I don't why you are acting so outraged. You don't want to spend an eternity with God; He'd be giving you what you want..eternal seperation from Him. And when it does happen you won't be able to act surprised or claim no one tried to warn you either.

Guys, you are talking to a brick wall. If you are enjoying watching the logic bounce off, then by all means continue. Just remember you will never get him to budge an inch, much less change his mind. Remember, in his eyes, this intelligent young woman is "one of the least well adjusted girls I've ever seen". He also has no problem with anyone who doesn't worship his god spending eternity in hell. Because that is what well adjusted means to him.

she's about as well adjusted as gogo from Kill Bill. And you're missing the point, entirely. The only people who go to hell are the ones who deserve to be there. No one is going to be in hell going "hey, you've got the wrong guy!" If you end up there, its entirely your fault, and nothing I can do or say will change that.

You are seriously comparing this girl to a raging psychopathic murderer? Because she sees the bible stories for the myths that they are? Man, you are fucked in the head.
And don't mince words about your beliefs about entering heaven. You either get down on your knees and worship the invisible, unprovable fascist dictator, or you spend eternity in hell. Because he loves you, and that's what you deserve even if you lived your entire life as a good, honest, loving, caring, giving person. Well, it's your own fault, right?

refreshing to see ignorance so proudly on display. either read the paper, or shut the hell up, because nothing you are saying is even remotely tied to the actual subject matter.

uhh. they are not brain surgeons, they are cognitive and social psychologists. also, they are talking about something very human, specific, and operationalised -- reasoning. not logic.
i'm not sold on the argumentative theory, but it's a great idea.

You're right they aren't smart enough to be brain surgeons. Exactly how does runnign rats through a maze tell you about evolution of the brain? And reasoning isn't operational. It's general. Nor is it human, if you read gwiz's comment.
sorry if this sounds harsh. it's too early to mince words.
