He doesn’t like ‘whilst’ but his nick is ‘Shagnasty’ ?
‘Shag nasty’ (two words, dear chap), unless I’m very much mistaken, is a colloquialism also from these Isles. I’ll concede the phrase may not appear in the King James version with any regularity ( 
), but your position does appear to be a tad undermined.
A little known untrue fact - you can code
do {…} whilst(…)
loops in the UK English version of Microsoft Visual C++.
Been a tough week, shag old mate?
Aah, don’t worry. I’ll give you a nice little bite or two. Whilst playing with your nipples. You’ll soon feel like a new man.
Redbites
Erm, wasn’t Shagnasty just having a go at the pointlessness of the bmerton thread he linked to?
The bmerton thread was a rant about American use of the English language. It seems that Shagnasty was just returning in kind: if bmerton doesn’t want Americans to use their language, then bmerton had better stop using his English phrases.
Jeez, you people are quick to condemn. Bites all round from young James.
Alternatively, you could wonder why this idiotic rant is any better than bmerton’s. Two pointless threads? Woo.
Right back at you, mate.
bmerton’s was not in the Pit - it was framed as a serious question.
Shagnasty’s thread here is in the vein as Libertarian’s “posting in the style of someone who said something stupid” threads. They made me laugh, so did this one.
Don’t make me re-sharpen my teeth and bite you again.
[sub]Of course, I could be wrong. It wouldn’t be the first time[/sub]
Whilom I browsed at the Straight Dope, and saw a poster, Shagnasty yclept, who did rant concerning archaic speech from bygone times.
And eftsoons I spake unto him, saying, “Lighten up, dude.”
(And bmerton, too, if he’s listening.)
Wow! Neato. And all that.
Hang on ferry - is it an untrue fact or a true one?
Interestingly, whilst on another message board far, far away, we kinda discussed this topic.
