I haven't looked but I'll have to see if "calling shenanigans" on someone is in Wiki! [Show/Hide Quoted Message](Quoting Message by Deep Freeze from Saturday, February 20, 2010 10:14:17 AM)

HA!!!!!!!!!!!! Well said, old friend. While there is certainly something to be said for proper use of language, it is my experience that "Wiki" may give you some of the basics on words and phrases, BUT actual knowledge of them is far more intricate. Perhaps you recall my comments regarding conjunctions? You cannot learn everything through "Google"..... HA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Are you a "common, cunning linguist" or do you have some noble blood in your veins? HAAAAAA!!! Sorry, couldn't resist.
AND (LOL) while your definition of Menos-valer is accurate in terms of phrasing, it lacks a major point in true meaning. That accusation comes from Medieval times. It was a legal phrasing charging the accused in public of not living up to his duties as a gentleman or hidalgo. Usually a pass with lances, then swords followed. In the Renaissance, it evolved into slapping one's face with gloves. Same accusation.
HB, thanks for the heads-up. I'll have to check out the new King material.

You know, Guido, despite me being a linguist, you got me there; I had to look that one up:
Yeah, sad that we have to deal with nuts like Brian and get all worked up
Imo we should be discussing music, poetry, politics, philosophy, and lifestyles seriously instead - yeah, even who's sexiest of the Priest guys.
I think the aggressive nature of the discussion in this thread detracts from the camaraderie we could cherish and protect in this forum. This is now the third time in the new year that we've had such an unpleasant exchange, and I find that sad.
But maybe we have different positions on that matter. Maybe some of you like a like that.
I mean, we have to be open to differences on a board like this. Mike and I are old guys here, and maybe we're old-fashioned. We just like the "English gentleman" type of exchange.
So guys, please give me some feedback on this. I'm willing to learn.
Nicky.

Yeah, no bad Maiden song and you wonder why we accuse you of being a fanboy. As we all readily admit, there are bad Priest songs. You are a shitdisturber. I accuse you of Menos-valer!
