Is it too late for me to say I hate, hate, hate, everything about the Straight Dope Message Boards because I’m not the smartest, funniest, cleverest person here? I’m not even sure I’m in the top ten percent, and that’s a horrible, horrible feeling for me, given my experience in the real world up to this point. [sub]I keep coming back because I’m a masochist.[/sub] ---

> [@](#): > > OH MY GOD PEOPLE THIS IS FRENCH WE’RE TALKING HERE!!! Nope. 😃 Just to end the suspense, 'punha is right, it’s Latin. Gaw-DAY-ray (alternately: MIHZ-haat-luveen-schweet-cheex-witha-siyd-ov-WOO-WOO, as Uke and SPOOFE have pointed out). ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Coldfire \* > \*\*Your French must be impeccable. 😃 \*\* It woulda been, if I’d been on the mark even in terms of the right LANGUAGE !!! :mad: Shit. Fucking dead languages. I let my Cuniform skill go to pot, and people throw around Latin like it’s the secret language of Hip-Hop. I sweah. I took French for three fuckin’ years, NEVER thought I’d need to know Latin. Now, come to find out that **SuaSponte** would like me a lot more if A) I knew what his name meant, and B) I didn’t think he was a woman 😛 . Fucking Latin. As far as my French, **Coldy**? I can hold my own. Remember, it’s not the linguinals, it’s the dipthongs that getcha… \ Cartooniverse ---

> [@](#): > > \*\*Ukulele Ike \*\* > …shrimp in the Bloody Mary he made for you…? Yes, a shrimp. Can you believe the unmitigated gall? How about the mitigated gall?! If it weren’t for the liter of 160 proof rum I helped drink later that day, I think I’d have more to rant and bitch about. ---

How’s about a fresh lobster claw in that Mai Tai? Ike, After all I’ve done for you, SPOOFE screws up and apologizes and all of a sudden you’re offering him shellfish for his drinks, while you’ve never offered me calamari for my chardonnay. Fine, see if I’ll buy you bay scallops for your bourbon again. Your former friend, Billdo ---
