Stupid Questions...

If the Ivory Tower is the brain of the board, and the Transformers discussion is its heart, then General Discussions is the waste disposal pipe. Or kidney. Or something suitably pulpy and soft, like 4 week old bananas.

Hell, I give my friends nice gifts all the time - they probably still hate me though (sniffs back a tear. And some cocaine).

And isn't the 'egg' answer the real one then? I suppose you've got to be 'in' to share the 'in' jokes. :cry:

I've been here for like four years - and I still don't understand a thing that is being said here.
I just regurgitate random crap now and then.
Can't believe I'm still here.

I guess we're having the same experience then. And eating the same kind of food, by the sounds of it. :)

I think you're doing fine with your own in-jokes.

What's up with 'pants'? (the expression)

Well, I know it means underwear... underpants!

I'm guessing it means the same thing as when someone says something is crap. That's how I interpret it, anyway...

Neither expression makes much sense, if you think about it. Crap is crap, pants are pants...

Kitaaaaaaas! Kitas, kitas kitas, mitsou pahkwesikan. It's good for you, har har.

Ah, people from different countries... :)
Pants means something is rubbish or not very good. Pants is indeed from 'underpants' and not from the US term meaning trousers. Pants are full of smelly sweaty stuff (well, mine are), and that's kinda what it means in terms of unpleasantness. Other things have multiple variations, like the 'dog's b*ll*cks' means brilliant, whereas 'b*ll*cks' is rubbish, and 'the b*ll*cks' is very good.
It's all very confusing sometimes (and I grew up with all this stuff), but there are so many of these terms now that there should be a language made up specifically for it.

mamtharr... I should make that my new I.D.
