Are we at CFC intellectuals (2018 update)?

[Broken_Erika]

If you're gonna blow off your fingers; The trick is to leave at least one so that you can still dial 911.

 

[hobbsyoyo]

Oh no, no, no.

I'd never blow off my own fingers. I am an intellectual, after all. I have papers to write that no one will ever read.

 

[Kyriakos]

Oh no, no, no.

I'd never blow off my own fingers. I am an intellectual, after all. I have papers to write that no one will ever read.

You are the Unabomber?

 

[Timsup2nothin]

You are the Unabomber?

Fingers. Plural. He's the Multibomber.

I read the OP, did not follow any links, voted for the closest option possible to ‘radioactive monkeys’ and began to read the thread lazily and haphazardly. In that order.

So, that's an example supporting a 'no' then?

 

[Takhisis]

WTH you don't know what radioactive monkeys mean?

 

[Synobun]

Tim is not of old stock, my dear chap.

I wasn't commenting on how you voted, I was commenting on you as an example to use in answering the question.

 

[Takhisis]

Tim is not of old stock, my dear chap.

Hahaha this is the first time in years tim's been told he's too young to do something.

I wasn't commenting on how you voted, I was commenting on you as an example to use in answering the question.

Democracy, man. Do as I say, not as I do.

That said, for the French, it's three syllables, and English even borrows derriere for certain purposes.

But the Germanic strain in English makes one heavily predisposed toward monosyllabic words for very basic fundamental elements of existence, as one's backside certainly is.

But then, come to think on it, our favored contemporary term, "booty" makes it polysyllabic, even though we had perfectly good monosyllables available. And that has seemed to me a gain for the language.

An interesting question this: the most appropriate number of syllables in the term for one's posterior.

Hoo buddy, you do NOT want to go down this linguistic rabbit hole. I WILL fudge YOU UP ************!!

 

[Lexicus]

I WILL **** YOU UP ************!!

 

[Takhisis]

Hoo buddy, you do NOT want to go down this linguistic rabbit hole. I WILL **** YOU UP ************!!

You sound like Dr. Evil in the Jerry Springer show.

 

[Bootstoots]

WTH you don't know what radioactive monkeys mean?

His CFC youth notwithstanding, he answered my comments about my polonium-210 source so well. He knew the secret to radioactive cookies, and yet he missed the most radioactive poll option there was. I have never been so disappointed...

Hoo buddy, you do NOT want to go down this linguistic rabbit hole. I WILL **** YOU UP ************!!

Rabbit hole! Rabbit hole! Make him run as hard as he can just to stay in the same place!

 

[Timsup2nothin]

I spent my career keeping the monkeys from becoming radioactive.

 

[Takhisis]

That goes against the spirit of CFC on so many levels.

 

[gozpel]

Oh drats. I cooked those eggs and now they are radioactive! Still good for the dog, yeah?
