> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by dantheman \* > \*\*I don’t remember seeing **Flami** say “damn” before… \*\* [Here are four pages of posts in which I said “damn.”](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/search.php?action=showresults&searchid=873058&sortby=lastpost&sortorder=descending) Good enough for you, or what? 😃 > [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by dantheman \* > \*\*Cheers Flammie!! > > Ju ni hao yun peng you in all aspects of your life. > > Hope you have a fantastic birthday! > > Hope I said that right… Deepest apologies if not.\*\* Thanks, **Washte**! 🙂 As for that phrase, I think it means something having to do with good people and friends. At least, that’s my interpretation of it. What were you trying to say? 🙂 Okay, is anyone else game? **rjk** , maybe? (whose name is of course too short to do a vanity search on, so I’ll just pop the name of his sweetie **Zyada** in here… see if he comes across this or not) F\_X ---

Looking through those examples, some of them are probably examples of **Spoz** or other people saying “damn.” Still, my point stands: I have said “damn” before on these boards. 😃 (I’m going to submit this and up the “damn” quotient by a few notches, hahahaha) F\_X ---

Saying, “I said ‘damn’” doesn’t count as saying “damn.” Just so you know. 😃 ---

No! And I noticed something… I do believe you misquoted me in your previous post. ---

Okay, maybe it doesn’t count if I miscoded the quote. Oops. ---

So all that effort that went into typing “damn” all those times ultimately doesn’t count? Damn! 😉 Yes, I just noticed that I misquoted you. I’m very sorry about that. The last quote should have been by **Washte** … and I did mean to change it. Just temporarily forgot about it. F\_X ---

That was funny. Oh well, one of us said summat to ya 😃 It was meant to say something along the lines of “Best of luck to you my friend”… or something to that effect. ---

Sorry, didn’t mean any harm. 😃 Ah, I see. Of course, my bad Chinese coupled with your questionable transliteration (not that it’s bad!) is a less-than-stellar combination. 😉 But thanks for the sentiment anyhow… much appreciated! 🙂 F\_X ---

You know what I really like about **Flami**? She replies to everyone who says something to her, no matter how trivial. And she thanks everyone who says nice things about her, too. I wish more people took the time to do that. It’s just polite. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/4000-posts-birthday-invite/200063.md?page=1)
