You just want to vent your poor spelling and stupidity via another user account.

I didn't understand a lot of that. Not because I'm stupid though, I normally understand big words. The only thing I didn't understand is the "Bohemian rhapsodize" part. This time, I get the shakehead :shakehead

 

[Klostrophobic]

Err, the Queen's English, meaning British English or Queen the music group. Bohemian Rhapsody was a song by Queen.

That's one of those crazy things that has two meanings.

 

[duo17]

Oh... Thanks for clearing that up Klos.

I never thought I'd say that...

 

[Jordan]

Oh, that's great!

Then it's not very subtle at all, is it?

Actually, it was more subtle the first couple times I viewed this thread, and the Penny Arcade comic didn't load. All that left was a simple line stating:

Meet Mr Period.

Which is indeed subtle and slightly ironic, because in the US we typically put a period after abbreviations such as "Mr.".

The comic is funny as smeg, yes; true to life, yes; but subtle, no.

I think he was being sarcastic. Just a shot in the dark.

What is smeg?

 

[Sk8rKiD]

I dont think I got the joke but what the heck is smeg?

 

[SandStorm]

I think the joke means something about a woman's period, and how when she's on the rag you aren't allowed to breathe, let alone speak. I'm not too sure.

 

[slip2rock]

Do you guys really not know what smeg is?

I know it's difficult to believe that anyone could not know what smeg is, but there you go!

 

[slip2rock]

Hmmmm I'm curious are you being sarcastic to me or are you seeing the humour in the fact that an American / Aussie has no concept of British slang and humour, becasue of course they have no easy access to our TV and other popular media?


Anyway, "smeg" has no true meaning, it's like "pffft" or "word" or "truth" or "blast" or "damn" or "aaarrgghhh" or "dag" (Aussie slang) or something..... It isn't a word as such, more a concept. A bit like the ever popular 'F' word. Although in some circles the residue under the foreskin is referred to as smeg..... It was widely used as the swear word in a Brit sit-com called "Red Dwarf", which is due to be released as a film either next year or the year after. It was used because of the previously draconian rules governing what could and could not be said on TV at certain times of the day.

No, I wasn't being sarcastic. It's at times like these when you realise that actually the world is a big place, and that actually there are some people who've never seen Red Dwarf, and thus don't laugh whenever they see SMEG kitchen equipment.

 

[Pupik]

Good one.

Too bad the kids were asleep in the back playing with Pokemon cards and not paying attention to the filmstrip and carving thier initials in the desk and drooling on thier sleeve in the middle of this boring post that pupik has now created in the midst of his own stupidity and can I run the projector next time?

Whew!

I think that's where the expression as used in Red Dwarf came from.

 

[duo17]
