A “fender bender” where she could have been easily killed due to the rank criminal ignorance of the driver. And no, fuming about shoving some object that driver holds more precious than a human life up her ass is not a threat of rape. Get over yourself.
Not only could Flatlined have been killed, the bint with the phone came very close to ruining an innocent (and thankfully good) driver’s life my causing him to run over a downed biker. The bint also caused harm and damage to the other car in front of her, not much has been said about that.
It wasn’t just a fenderbender, it was a nearly criminal act of negligence. I think blowing off steam on an anonymous message board is a pretty mild reaction to being in the middle of all that.
Oh, and fwiw, I’m a woman and have no horrible associations with the word bint. I’m in the US though, so ymmv. The C-word, however I will not use, and it does make me cringe.
Canadian?
snerk
No, some of my best friends are Canajun!
In the UK, it’s the sort of insult your Granny would use in front of the kids, if she was really annoyed about someone female, generally accompanied by the word ‘silly’.
It’s not really rude, and it’s kind of old fashioned, though me and my housemate call each other silly bints regularly. Roughly the female equivalent of ‘git’.
It’s called “hyperbole.” Does your head explode* whenever you see someone use the term “asshat” on the Internet? Said term refers to someone having their own head buried up their posterior such that this person is wearing his own ass as a hat.
If you answered yes to that question, I highly recommend your departure to 4chan or Something Awful, where you will find many, many wrongs to right.
*Figuratively, not literally. I am not advocating the use of intracranial explosives, because that could be construed as fantasizing about murder.
Dear Naive Evian
You have been here 8 days and have started 12 threads and posted a whole bunch of wrong-headed stuff in this particular thread (I haven’t read any more of your stuff). I recommend that you hang around quietly for a while until you get a bit more insight into people and ideas here. So far you have missed a whole lot of points in this thread.
Also, how do you “thread” rape???
Ah. Thanks for relieving ignorance on that point. 
Ah! Obviously imported into colloquial English by the British Army, then, as with various Indian loan-words. Today’s nugget of knowledge, thanks. 
I would be cautious of an early settlement with respect to any personal injuries until you are certain you don’t have any permanent or lingering injuries, which would mean waiting at least a year to settle that aspect of the claim. In the meantime, get whatever treatment you need, including physical therapy, and track every penny of expense.
Best of luck.
Quite possibly. I hadn’t heard it in [del]deca[/del] years and was surprised to come across it outside of a '60s British movie.
There are a lot of things I would like to say right now, but they would probably get me a warning or outright banned.
Not offenderati, troll. Check the posting history. 100% pure troll.
What was trolly about the “omg NYT copy editors suck!” thread? Pissing off grammar nerds?
Let me get this straight. flatlined used a pretty unoffensive term to describe someone who almost killed her and didn’t care, and then used some hyperbole in here while blowing off steam and you have a problem with that. Yet it’s OK for you to spout negative cliches about bikers AND say you are glad she got hit.. How do those two go together?
I don’t think you are a troll because I’ve met people like you IRL. They have a personal crusade to end some minor thing and don’t see any problem with being as offensive and aggressive as they want, way outstripping any “offense” caused by the use of their pet word or action. You know, like anti-abortionists who see nothing wrong with killing doctors and pregnant women. Guess what? People have the right to do and say things that might bother you. You have the right to complain. You do not have the right to wish them serious injury or death.
Also, FWTW, wanting to cram things up peoples assholes isn’t a rape fantasy - it has to do with wanting to put something where it will be covered in shit, with the bonus that it will be uncomfortable for the offending person. That you jump straight to rape fantasy says an awful lot about you, and none of it is positive.
I predict a short stay for our Naive new [del]troll[/del] friend.
Well, dang. I’m kinda disappointed that Naive is gone. I was going to call the bint a wahini or arachnida just for him. Too bad he didn’t manage to find the Workplace Griping thread, because if he figured out why I call my annoying clerk Jane, his head would have asploded for real.
Knows that the rest of you already got the reference, but just in case Naive looks again…
Jane, you ignorant slut!
Today I bought new boots. I like my old battered boots and the scuffs from the accident just made them more attractive to old school bikers, but the leather was pretty thin on the left one and my foot got cold yesterday.
Holy cow! I forgot how much Harley garb costs. For the record, I don’t buy Harley gear because of the name, I buy it because its really good riding gear. Not only did I pay almost 300 bucks for a pair of boots (comfy, well fitting out of the box boots…with wide toecaps and an aggressive sole), after I tossed the bling away, I counted the brands and each boot has 13 HD marks. Overkill, anyone?
When I was young and living in a po white neighborhood of southside St. Louis, my friend from there one day pointed out a pedestrian on the sidewalk, a gentleman sporting Harley-Davidson leather gear. My friend commented on what a sad, pathetic sight that was: a walking biker. Because a lot of people there could only afford the gear, not the actual motorcycle. To be fair, his bike may have been getting repairs that day, for all I know. But my friend, who knew the neighborhood having grown up there, saw it as pathetic.
Can I suggest Labonville, which has both kevlar and steel cap (more of a logger) (ebay $200+) or firemens boots which also have kevlar, such as Pro-Warrington? Thorogood is also a good brand as is Matterhorn.
These are all more than riding boots, they are foot-armor.
