Can we violate every rule if we say "whoosh"?

Only on a treadmill. :smiley:

DrDeth seems to have a hard-on for the humble, but now-maligned, ‘whoosh’.

Ah it’s the person who stole the Maltese Falcon.

That was a serious thread, where a fellow poster had a real problem. So, there’s two choices:

  1. You didn’t understand the word “defalcation” and thought I made a funny typo.
  2. You thought it’d be funny to shit in a serious thread.

Which is it?

i.e. the defalcator.:p:p

Well, the line is “with all due respect.” Never in the dialogue do they ever quantify how much respect is actually due.

Obviously.

Right. Every time I have been forced into a position where I must say “with all due respect”, my brain is quietly adding “(zero)”.

So basically, any form of sarcasm, or irony.

That was neither- at best it was a cheap shot on a play on words to get a chuckle in a serious thread.

We love sarcasm and irony around here.

As long as you think it’s funny and not misplaced. What’s next, requesting all jests be marked as such, à la the departed Smashy?

Not fair: Smashie was a well-marked jest. :smiley:

gasp
You cracked a joke in this serious thread? How dare you!

<hangs head in shame> I am sooooooooooo sowwy.
Now, where’s the ice cream? :cool:
