Well, I too am having fun. Is there some particular reason why you are entitled to bring a topic back up and have fun with it but I am not? I am having fun with the notion that someone’s frontal cortex is such an obstacle course that he cannot understand the connotation of “bashing” versus that of “thumping”. But even more than that, it is to laugh out loud when he insists that because Wikipedia had said it it must have been so — even though now that Wikipedia says something else, it must be wrong. It is the classic heels stuck in cement syndrome in which one insists one is right against all reason until the point at which he begins to disagree with himself. Therefore, you have no standing to give me orders about calming down, the fuck or otherwise.
Nzinga, Seated brought up something new; the historical use of “bashing” versus “thumping” had been brought up, including by myself and others. So, yeah, I understand it. And since you obviously haven’t read the thread you are mischaracterizing what I’m saying about wikipedia.
I hear at the end that reading comprehension (or being able to read at all) is the first faculty to go.
I guess not.
No, its…ah…its…hmmm, can’t seem to remember…
It’s actually the ability to comprehend puns.
Older men know that’s the second thing to go.
Maybe you should have skipped reading the thread. That way, you might not find yourself suggesting that “bashing” something means defending it.
Was that from an audio book?

Are you really going to act as though the concept of “idiom” is unfamiliar to you? Are you sure that’s the position you want to take? 'Cause if so, I’m just gonna go ahead and start with the pointing and laughing now.
I don’t know quite what you’re implying here, whippersnapper, but if you alluding to what I think you are, you should be advised that many men enter later maturity with a *full *head of hair!
I think he means something a wee bit farther south.
Well my knees have been aching a bit…
Can’t this bashing/thumping hijack go into some other thread so I can read about the posters people can’t stand?
If your knees are aching you can not stand. Isn’t that close enough.
I can’t stand until this kitten gets off my lap – does that get the thread somewhere near back on track?
A: Would you like to pet my pussy?
B: Sure, but move the damn cat!
Shagnasty, just for being a moronic asshole. Emphasis on the latter.
I wish to introduce exhibit A your honor.

It is no coincidence that they also happen to be two of the biggest Aholes on this board.
And I’ll add brazil84 again for good measure.
