I demand a ban on the use of o_O

Cum on 8====> ~ ~ ~ ~ it’s not really that annoying

Why the long face?

This makes you either an old school digital miscreant or a very astute mother of one.

No. We call all beer piss.

I thought that was just Fosters.

Oh.

There really is an Australian beer caused “Piss”, though.

I can’t explain why, but while o_O tends to annoy me, I just think :slight_smile: is cute when I see it. Provided it doesn’t appear with ‘u’ being used as a word, that one doesn’t bother me at all.

Technical question: Can a short-cut emoticon be added so that o_O just automatically defaults to a :dubious: the same way as a : ) goes to :slight_smile: ? Might cut down a lot of aggro.

People could supress smilies just to be annoying. If I was trying to be annoying, that’s what I would do.

This made me so very happy!

I hear that if you have a Urinary Tract Infection and you are also diabetic, you urinate ethanol. I also hear that’s how they make Heineken :smiley:

We call all alcohol piss. Beer moreso, but if someone is taking ‘piss’ somewhere they could be bringing anything.

I’ve never used that one.

But I have to admit it’s because I can’t do that. At least not with that eye.

O_o

This is the basis of the confusion with the American term “pissed”, which means “drunk” here, rather than “angry”.

Piss: Alcoholic drinks, especially beer (as noted)
Pissed: Drunk
Pisspot: An alcoholic person
Piss-up: a boozy party or celebration
On the piss: 1. Engaged in a drinking session 2. Drinking lots and often (eg: I gave up drinking for a year, but I’m back on the piss again)
Pissy: Half drunk

We do however, (just to confuse you) use pissed to describe angry as well.

So angry drunk could be described as:

The pissed pisspot was pissed off at being pissed on?

“…at the piss-up.” Yes, you could. :smiley:

It’s happened before.
They got their own back, the idiot ended up drinking a can of half-piss, half-piss. (WOW, that is confusing)
Moral: Never piss on anyone in Australia, they’ll urinate in your drink when you’re not looking.

Urinate? What the fuck is urinate? I swear, you guys don’t even speak close to English down there.

I sincerely hope this is a whoosh, but in case it is not; urinate.

Yeah, it was a woosh. I’m working on getting my sense of humor back after a three day immersion in the Terri Schiavo threads. Obviously, I still need some practice.

A wink at the end should suffice :wink:
