Impossible. Plack’s constant.
We will not be plackated!
The Jews will not replack us!
You guys are smoking too much plack.
But it’s so cool when you’re listing to The Plack Side of the Moon.
This is getting too serious. Let’s all meet up some where for a plackanalia.
Meh, go plack a cactus.
Oh that’s it, pal. You just made The List.
He’s Plack-listed?? :eek:
No, plackmailed I think.

Though this guy is far more a Tedious Asbergery Wanker® than a troll. Irritating nonetheless.
You mock me, sir, yet I hasten to inform you that since the plack has long been demonetized, it may rightly be said to be entirely worthless, thus besmirching its value as a posthumous accolade to deceased condo builders.
But here I think a historical note is in order. You are of course correct that though the plack was of very low value even in the 15th century, the penny was worth even less. The worthlessness of the penny was why the ancient Scots – famous for their dour refusal to so much as stoop to pick up a loose penny – were adamant in their demand to abolish this coin altogether and round all prices up or down to the nearest plack. In the Petition of Sauchieburn they presented King James with their demands, declaring in part that they “would nae carry them deil pennies no more” and that they were “scunner wi’ thae weighty jangling plack stains pulling doon our kiltes”. It was King James’ failure to abolish the penny that was largely responsible for the great Rebellion of Sauchieburn in 1488.

I wouldn’t even know how to begin.
I do like me some twinkies! 2 to 1 my favorite.
Can’t wait to see “Plack” used in real life… You see, my dream is to recognize a Doper reference out in the real world.
I often put up signup lists around the college i teach at. And, yes, I often wait til #1 and 2 are filled in, then I casually saunter by and write “Hi, Opel” for #3.
I mention 1920’s Style Death Rays on handouts, and say “Thank Og” in class. But in almost decades plural of hoping, no nibbles.
That’s because it’s “Opal”. Car nuts everywhere are wondering what you meant.
For years on sign up lists I’ve signed ’ Yoko Ono’. Does that mean anything? Not one person has ever said anything to me, about it.
Has it only been a year? It seems so much longer.
