Elbows, that is pretty sly. I like it.
TriPolar, I don’t know I just heard it for the first time on a talk show and I can’t ever recall hearing it anywhere else.
Perhaps, I don’t mean to insult so much. I rarely even get that upset to go that far. I think I meant this in a friendly, teasing manner.

In my world, bint is a perferctly comulent word, but is usually prefixed by silly or stupid. Its not used often so and I never say it to someones face, only to describe someone who annoyed me.
the 0, thank you. I was wondering if anyone got that, the OP didn’t seem to. But he seems a little gormless, so is forgiven. Bless his heart 
That’s the drum.
LOL flatlined you are right I didn’t get it. Now I do though. That’s a good one!
But I think it’s funny that people here are saying “Piker” is a commonly used and understood word in the general American public. Right, I’m just so naive let me tell ya…
Grins happily.
I do think that many of the people who post here are better read than on other message boards. Piker isn’t a common word to you or me, but I understood what you meant right away.
“perferctly comulent” ??
Has The Simpsons not made it to Moscow, Idaho?
Ah. I’ve never seen The Simpsons. Clueless moi.
Ignorance fought, to some extent.
Bad typing, sorry. Its “cromulent”.
I’ve never watched the Simpsons either. I don’t know where I learned that word, but its common enough that a quick google search shows it on lots of dictionary sites.
I love how words evolve and change and are accepted into language. I started learning Latin a couple of years ago, just because I like being able to understand how little worm means red. I pick up words like some people pick up pennies. They aren’t worth much one at a time, but when you have lots of them, you can get all geeky and stuff.
Hey, relax! I’m a minister. Bring your folks around and I’ll marry them for free!
Now I’m confused. Is “perferctly” a Simpsons word?
I think the best insults are ones where the statement could be taken innocently or insultingly.
From A Man For All Seasons:
Wolsey: More! You should’ve been a cleric!
More: Like yourself, Your Grace?
Bint is used quite often in the UK, same with gormless.
Is “piker” related to “pikey”, i.e. an Irish traveller? Seems possible given what the word means.
