I'm amasing my armies just beyond your borders. Amasing!

 

[DeusExMachina]

I think that's amassing.

 

[Sulkdodds]

Your mum's amassing!

Your avatar is amasing... Waking Life?

 

[pomegranate]

I work in a bar and a cafe, and I get a bit riled when customers (always of West Indian descent) ask for 'fries'. We're not a McDonalds, and we're not in the US, so wtf. They're called chips. They're not even the same thing.

Also customers asking for something by saying 'Can I get...' to which my (unspoken) answer is, 'No, I'LL 'get' for you, and you can have it.' Again, does it say 'Central Perk' on the door? No, so stop pretending you're in NYC.

 

[Ikerous]

Chips is a stupid way to refer to fries though... I wouldn't wanna use that word :|

Don't see how that's relevant nor why you had to mention it. But yeah;

Chips

Fries

 

[Remus]

In my country we refer to as chips only to those potato chips in bags like Pringles for instance and the others we refer to as fries.

P.S. UK English sucks

 

[Narcolepsy]

Fries

Fries

There you go.

You mean crisps?

 

[Remus]

Yeah, what you call crisps we call chips OK.

 

[Murray_H]

UK English people saying 'ass'.

It's arse. Don't say it any other way.

 

[pomegranate]

Don't see how that's relevant nor why you had to mention it. But yeah;

It's because I'm a dirty racist, CLEARLY! Any mention of anything to do with with ethnicity or identifying someone based on their racial origin instantly indicates someone to be a racist, I'm suprised you need it to be explained. Or perhaps you've already assumed this for yourself and you think you're being rhetorical. In which case my response to you would be rather impolite.
Why did I mention it? Perhaps because part of the reason I find it annoying is because I think it's rude for someone to go to another country and not bother to use the local vernacular. It's no different to a British holidaymaker going into a MacDonalds in the US and asking for burger and chips.

 

[DeusExMachina]

He doesn't understand why you had to emphasize the fact that most of the customers who ask it are of West Indian descent.

 

[pomegranate]

I didn't emphasize it, I mentioned it. And I've explained why. So what's the point of your comment?

 

[Viperidae]

Anyways. It kills me.

 

[Dog--]

French Fries are Fries
Potato Chips are chips
French Fries are NOT chips!

 

[CptStern]

oh I almost forgot

I hate it when people say (online) LoL after every sentence

"this game is cool, lol"

"my pc sucks, lol"

"my dog has cancer, lol"

 

[el Chi]

P.S. UK English sucks

To be honest, I'd have a go at you (I'm a pedantic English student, after all) except for the fact that you said UK and not England. Most people talk as if it's fair to say that England is all there is.
Sure, nobody cares about the Welsh, but the Scots and the Irish are great.


If you're Welsh, I'm just kidding - I love you guys! With your stovepipe hats and your coal-mining; it's hilarious!
<3 @ Wales.

UK English people saying 'ass'.

It's arse. Don't say it any other way.

Yarr, 'tis true. There are a great number of words/phrases that simply should not ever be said in an English accent, and likewise for the Yanks.

 

[DeusExMachina]

I'll say arse whenever I damn please guvnor.

...And I'll say guvnor whenever I please.

And talk about my BANGS.

Plus, I got a pretty good British accent. So uhh...it's cool

 

[ríomhaire]

Translation websites?

Altavista
Also a cookie for anyone who knows the reference.

its "for Christs sake!" because Christ only has one sake.....

"For Christ's sake!"
If Christ had more than one sake it would be
"For Christ's sakes!"

Your mum's amassing!

Amassing what? A horde of zombies? D:

Anyways. It kills me.

And peoples *shudders*

People outside of Ireland say arse? Really? Never knew that. But yes, the correct word is ass.

Damn straight. Unless you're talking about donkeys.

 

[Rizzo]

Your an ass's arse. w00t?

 

[Raziaar]

I've only ever used 'arse' in my dragonrealms game, when I didn't want to be quite as offensive by using 'ass'. Simply because it is seen as a weaker word for the same thing.

 

[DeusExMachina]

Yeah. Arse is WEAK.

 

[Glirk Dient]

cashmoney....wtf

CASHMONEY

CASHMONEY!!!!!

WTFHOMFGWTF

 

[kupocake]

Nah, Arse is a stonger version. Ass has me in mind of those smooth things you see swinging on your MTV to Hip Hop music. Arse makes me think about just any old big hairy one.

 

[DeusExMachina]

Hmm...

"That's a nice ass."
"That's a nice arse."

 

[Asknoone]

Hmm...
"That's a nice ass."

Far sexier.

 

[*~Alex~*]

i hate the word "luv" why cant ppl just write love

 

[DeusExMachina]

"ppl" = "people"

Please, do it for the children, luv

 

[Insano]

I hate it when people use ~ and * in their name. Why can't people just write their name.

 

[kirovman]

If you don't speak the Queen's English, it's more than likely that you anger me.

 

[Sulkdodds]

Aye reet but this wordshift and innwit's nobbert as summat as wants dumping on the slagheap, I mean, ye're oppressin' the wurkers! Ah've got fishdocks an' all!

Also: arse is both stronger and more colourful.
Good way of working out how strong a word is: imagine a pirate saying it.

 

[DeusExMachina]

"ARGHH, where be my sweet piece of arse?"

 

[kirovman]

Ass is such an effeminate way of saying arse.

It's also synonymous with mule.

 

[Remus]

Arse isn't even a word, it's a frickin' typo.

 

[Jangle]

Arse isn't even a word, it's a frickin' typo.

I would link to a dictionary website but I get the feeling you're just saying that to annoy people.

 

[Sulkdodds]

Oh yeah?

arse
"buttocks," O.E. ærs "tail, rump," from P.Gmc. *arsoz (cf. O.N. ars, M.Du. ærs, Ger. Arsch "buttock"), cognate with Gk. orros "tail, rump, base of the spine," Hittite arrash, Arm. or "buttock," O.Ir. err "tail." Arse-hole first attested c.1400 as arce-hoole. Arsy-versy "backside foremost" first attested 1539.

ass (2)
slang for "backside," first attested 1860 in nautical slang, in popular use from 1930; from Amer.Eng. pronunciation of arse (q.v.). The loss of -r- before -s- attested in several other words (e.g. burst/bust, curse/cuss, horse/hoss, barse/bass). Indirect evidence of the change from arse to ass can be traced to 1785 (in euphemistic avoidance of ass "donkey" by polite speakers) and perhaps to Shakespeare, if Nick Bottom transformed into a donkey in "A Midsummer Night's Dream" (1594) is the word-play some think it is. Meaning "woman regarded as a sexual object" is from 1942. Asshole first attested 1935.

Arse is earlier than ass. I, and linguistics, win.
