 LIkewise, is anyone asking you make your "Snarky" comments (must an American word).  I for one have never pretended to be a wounded victim, and neither has our Scottish friend Bydand (who incidentally voted for Canli and not me and I love Scotland {#lang_emotions_confused})  or Peacetrain and Alameda for that matter ............... funny, yes it is funny..................this whole sharade is funny! {#lang_emotions_lol_fast} 

 

 I don´t think you should have used the plural in front of Scottish friend on here LL {#lang_emotions_unsure} Sorry about the vote, it was only when you mentioned you might be too busy that I finally decided.{#lang_emotions_neutral}

Lol, I love the way TC threads evolve. Kind of brings back the old:

 

How many forum members would it take to screw in a lightbulb?

1 to change the light bulb and to post that the light bulb has been changed

14 to share similar experiences of changing light bulbs and how the light bulb could have been changed differently

7 to caution about the dangers of changing light bulbs

1 to move it to the Lighting section

2 to argue then move it to the Electricals section

7 to point out spelling/grammar errors in posts about changing light bulbs

5 to flame the spell checkers

3 to correct spelling/grammar flames

6 to argue over whether it´s "lightbulb" or "light bulb" ... another 6 to condemn those 6 as stupid

2 industry professionals to inform the group that the proper term is "lamp"

15 know-it-alls who claim they were in the industry, and that "light bulb" is perfectly correct

19 to post that this forum is not about light bulbs and to please take this discussion to a lightbulb forum

11 to defend the posting to this forum saying that we all use light bulbs and therefore the posts are relevant to this forum

36 to debate which method of changing light bulbs is superior, where to buy the best light bulbs, what brand of light bulbs work best for this technique and what brands are faulty

7 to post URL´s where one can see examples of different light bulbs

4 to post that the URL´s were posted incorrectly and then post the corrected URL´s

3 to post about links they found from the URL´s that are relevant to this group which makes light bulbs relevant to this group

13 to link all posts to date, quote them in their entirety including all headers and signatures, and add "Me too"

5 to post to the group that they will no longer post because they cannot handle the light bulb controversy

4 to say "didn´t we go through this already a short time ago?"

13 to say "do a Google search on light bulbs before posting questions about light bulbs"

1 forum lurker to respond to the original post 6 months from now and start it all over again.

 Too funny that just because you don´t know a word you say it must be American!!  {#lang_emotions_laugh_at}

 

The adjective snarky is first recorded in 1906. It is from dialectal British snark, meaning ´to nag, find fault with´, which is probably the same word as snark, snork, meaning ´to snort, snore´. (The likely connection is the derisive snorting sound of someone who is always finding fault.) Most dictionaries label snarky as "Chiefly British Slang."

Quoting girleegirl

When I read the posts of peacetrain I sense desperation.  Like that of one of those sad little school girls who was never popular/pretty/fun.

One wanting so badly to be accepted by the “in” group - but shunned.  So the desperation turns into loathing for anyone that is what she wants so badly to be and out of that hatred, she attacks all those that she perceives to be everything she is not.  

She tries to hide her assaults with sarcasm and humor, thinking maybe no one will notice.......and most likely still hoping beyond hope that she will still be accepted.

The problem is that all she does is show herself for what she is…….someone who is bitter and angry. 

 

 Cue the violins please . . . {#lang_emotions_cry}

 

Go to fullsize image     sniffle . . . sniffle . . . sniffle . . . it´s true what GG says . . . sniffle, sniffle, I can´t deny it any longer.  I am indeed at the point of absolute desperation . . . for a good razor!

 

I tried everything to look like the "in " group.  I bleached my hair, had my ears pinned down too, but they just sprang up again.  I tried to set a new trend,  you´ve heard of a Brazilian? Well I had a Glaswegian . . . paisley design through the hair on my ar . . . ar . . . . arms.  I really can´t understand why it never caught on . . .{#lang_emotions_unsure}

 

  Oh . . . the shunning . . . {#lang_emotions_cry} . . . the shunning got so very bad.  I was no match for those beautiful  girls in the "in" group   {#lang_emotions_cry}  and what made it worse was my "Glaswegian" didn´t last more than a couple of days.  I spent so much money on razors I never had the money to bribe my way into the good books of the "in" group.  I was never good enough for the cheerleading team either, even though I told them I had belonged to the same team as GW Bush in my last school. 

 

Pretty soon my desperation turned to loathing . . . oh the loaaaaaathing . . . the loathing was consuming me (as were the lice).  I loathed anyone who reflected the image I wanted for myself . . . I was so fed up of not being able to rub the fake tan in and ending up looking like an orangutan.  I  wanted so badly to be one of the "in" group and gradually my loathing turned to pure hatred and out of that hatred, I attacked all those that I perceived to be everything I was  not.   

 

I deliberately started a whoo . . . whoo . . .whoo . . .whooping cough epidemic on one occasion, a particularly nasty strain as everytime a coughing fit set in sufferers had the uncontrollable urge to scratch their armpits.  This didn´t go down well with the guys and I was shunned even more after that.

 

After my traumatic school days ended I graduated with honours at the local tattoo parlour, gaining a special distinction in underarm and nostril hair plaiting and ear lobe henna decoration. 

 

Clutching my newly gained qualification, I offered the "in" group special discounts in order to gain their friendship, but they simply viewed my talents with disdain.

 

I tried a new tactic, I joined the "in" group´s chat forums . . . at least they couldn´t see me there.  But it wasn´t long before the odd slip, such as professing my love for babanas and peanuts on the "what is your favourite snack?" thread, gave me away.  My request for advice on what a hairy girl should expect during a visit to the Turkish baths wasn´t helpful either. 

 

Pretty soon my efforts to be accepted by the "in" group seemed futile and so I succumbed to the dark side and began assaults, all the time trying to disguise the sar-ca-ca-ca-ca-casm and hum-or-or-or-or, hoping beyond hope that I would one day be accepted.

 

The problem is that all I do is show myself for what I am…….someone who is bitter and angry .. . WHEN SOMEONE NICKS ME BANANAS!!!!!       

 

Knowing I´m the only one sporting a Glaswegian doesn´t help either . . . anyone fancy giving me a Mancunian for half the going rate? 

 

Oh, what a relief to get that off my chest (the confession, not the hair ), and I owe it all to GG. 

 

Thanks doll, I couldn´t have faced the truth, or shared it, without you.  {#lang_emotions_flowers}
