Choco1980 posted:Mardi Gras literally translates in French to "Tuesday Fat" Since adjectives in French typically go after the noun (with a few exceptions), Mardi Gras literally translates to "Fat Tuesday"

In Eastern Canada there's a chain called Giant Tiger. So in French it's Tigre Geant. Everyone I know calls it "Tiger Giant" and I hate them. You know how French works you idiots you took it for at least 11 years.

I legitimately want to know why MisterBibs still posts here when everything he says is followed by "choked on a hotdog". I mean no one would be sad if he stopped, but I still wanna know why.

eating only apples posted:I legitimately want to know why MisterBibs still posts here when everything he says is followed by "choked on a hotdog". Eh, I don't let it get to me, because it's usually from a place of me being an easier target than what they are more mad at. It's easier to have issue with me liking Fallout 4 more than New Vegas, for example, than admitting that Bethesda clearly does Fallout better than its original developers. If we're talking specifically about the hotdog thing, I don't mind it because bringing up because a) they perpetually get it wrong, and that's funny, and I don't mind spreading awareness of the immune disorder I have in which food impaction is something I have to worry about , even on the best days, and will likely kill me if it becomes inoperable cancer. I mean, poo poo, that's a solid example for this thread about figuring things out. When I was actually diagnosed with EE, a lot of things suddenly made sense. I spent the bulk of my life, from childhood, thinking that chest pain when eating and brief moments of food impaction were just things everyone had to deal with. I thought it was just brave/stupid to see people eating meals without a drink with them.

I'm sorry about your immune disorder but maybe you'd generate some good karma in your life and your health if you didn't have such terrible opinions on games? Namaste.

Nobody has an issue with you liking Four more than New Vegas. Their issue is that your reasoning was batshit insane, and equated to not liking Super Mario Brothers because you die if you jump in a pit, and that's restrictive gameplay.

I get it, it's easier to gripe about me liking the superior games than admit you (not specifically you) are trying to justify the unjustifiable.

rydiafan posted:Correct. Because it's actually an incredibly good choice. Exactly my point. It's not, it's unjustifiable, and when the next game rolled around, there weren't any don't-go-this-way bullshit mechanics floating around. Hell, they went so far in the opposite direction that one of the earliest quests has a goal that could be this way, thataway, or down there... because by God you could go this way, that way, or down there without running into unjustifiable meat walls along the way. So instead of dealing with that mechanic being so unjustifiable that it didn't get repeated, it's gripe at me over me saying what most people would say. I don't mind. E: vvv yeah, that's really the only thing about it that really annoys me, cuz the problems I have with my esophagus, and the discussion thereof, are never on-topic.

I had no idea IMDb got rid of its message boards. Was wondering why the pages I was reading felt off and were missing something. I also had no idea Mark Mothersbaugh composed and performed the Beakman's World theme song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ut541DsesD4

I never knew the word "expedient" had a negative connotation until I looked it up while I was proofing copy for someone. I just thought it meant getting poo poo done quick (which it also doesn't mean).

Uh, p sure expedient means like a correct or appropriate means of accomplishing something. Like to do something expediently is to select the proper or desired course of action. I'm not seeing how a negative connotation exists unless you use it specifically in the negative, e.g. Your completion of the task was not very expedient. Am I missing something here?

I'm not seeing how a negative connotation exists unless you use it specifically in the negative, e.g. Your completion of the task was not very expedient. You can literally google it, dude. Then again, it's kind of a prescriptivist point of view. Generally speaking a word means what we all agree on it means, so I think it won't be too long before expedient loses it's negative connotations altogether and the dictionaries will be updated to reflect that.

^^^- Jumping straight to google takes all the fun out of it. Okay, then the original claim is dumb because it seems like it can carry a negative connotation, but doesn't necessarily have to, which in a broader sense is how connotation works.  The original statement should probably have gone something like "expedient can carry a negative denotation" since we're arguing dictionary definitions and not contextual usage or subjective interpretation. E: ehhh, content. Few years ago I was shocked to learn that dogs and cats lap up water backwards from how I imagined.

My original statement was based on the Google definitions that appear when you search "expedient definition", and I was also aware that there are different dictionaries and that word meanings evolve over time. Rest easy, everyone!

I think the surprise for nearly everyone was that it can carry negative connotations at all, even if that's not always the case. Like I said, though, it's a word that's definitely losing its negative connotations so just give it a decade or so.

Apparently there have occasionally been jaguar sightings in the southwestern United States. I had no idea they got that far north. I mean, I knew intellectually that there had to be some in Mexico, what with the Aztec and Mayan reverence for them, but I guess I just sort of mentally filed them as South American Mammals, Never To Get Further North Than Panama.
