As I said before, I understood the analogy you were making while the example in question may not have been the best.

Maybe to your generation. There was a time not so long ago it was a term of scorn. One sentence does not discern which of the two is meant.

I am starting to wonder if you are being friendly or a downright bastard, and indecisiveness makes me hungry.

Thank you kindly

You’re quite the poet.

n. Saddle sores from friction. Later used as a pejorative for pretender cowboy “wannabes” who showed up on the plains in fine suits and new gear.

You can, I think, see why I objected to being called “my dude” when first I began corresponding with you.

Example: “I’ve got an angry collection of dudes on my backside.” or “Dude, did you come here to bloody up your shiny diggers (spurs), you damn fool?”

Simon, I read this as you getting really excited about saddle sores.

“DUDE, DUDES, saddle sores from FRICTION!!!”

Anyway I have a dude right now :^/

Do you know why you read it that way?

BECAUSE! MOLLY ANNE. You don’t? Use language? Like people normally are meant to?!!! You. Confuse. Yourself.

Um… I sort of read it that way too.  I missed the “n” and it was all downhill from there until about the second sentence at which point I caught on that something was amiss. 

What the deuce.

*wipes my muddy hands on your shirtfront*

*chuckles*

You telling me to go “boil my shirt”, you whelp?

I won’t commit to that but probably

Now who’s the first rate genius linguist?

“Go boil your shirt” is a way of telling someone to piss off.

a genius linguist knows how to get their point across while still being understood so still me

This whole argument began becase you couldn’t properly read a dictionary entry. Go on…Pull the other one, Molly Anne.

this whole argument began because I’m charming (/CHärmiNG/)

adjective

and you’re a curmudgeon (/kərˈməjən/)

noun

1. a bad-tempered or surly person.

Firstly, That is not how all dictionaries are written. Secondly, I am Old. And thirdly, I am the most even-tempered person you are likely to meet who is my age. I am more even-tempered than your aged, and they are usually less than 1/20 my age.

sulk·y
/səlkē/

adjective

1. 1.morose, bad-tempered, and resentful; refusing to be cooperative or cheerful.

Die mad about it.

😉

I’m not the one who’s mad my surly friend.

Stop being so chuffed, you two. BOTH of you.

Neither one of us is chuffed. We play at bickering all the time. We have to or Molly Anne loses the malignant fuel that will bring about our epic battle atop the cathedral.

This is the first time I’ve seen you say something as casual as “die mad about it” and I had to do a double take

I used it properly, yes?

Simon, I love that you used 😉 not as old as you pretend to be, are you?

I am, I simply learn, and very quickly too. 😉 conveys the information that it is all in good humor. And so I use it so that Molly Anne’s readers know we do this often and in good humor.

That’s pretty!

Yes, because I’d love to have your old, thoroughly used organs, rather than the fresh ones I can kill for myself out of the younger population.

It’s kind of you, but I’d rather obtain my own organs.
