Good. Here's another, just for you: G.F.Y.
If I offended anyone, too damn bad. Take your pc bullsh*t & shove it up your ass.
And just who's the fool? Anybody living Toronto, or a guy smart enough to live in Vancouver?

You didn't offend me. I just think you're an idiot, for the following reasons:
1) As Cookie says (and he should know, living where he does), you need a history lesson.
2) You misused "colloquialism." In fact, judging from the way you tried to use it, I don't even think you know what the word means.
3) You think you can get away with saying stupid shit (and the "nazi" thing was stupid shit -- not funny, not thought-provoking, not provocative, not even offensive, just a pointless
non sequitur) by claiming that anyone who disagrees with you is being "politically correct." That red herring is
old.

Please, Mr. English teacher, show me how I "misused"it.

So let me get this straight, you can be an historical genius simply because of the place you live?
All hail Cookie: History Master of the World! Ummm, what happens when he moves?

Well I'm sorry. I'll just have to try harder next time.

That's the difference, I
know you're an idiot, and now so does everyone else, simply based upon your scintillating response.
Like I said: G.F.Y.

I suppose you think I misused "scintillating" too?

None of those definitions seems to cast any light on your original intention. What
is this "ordinary or familiar usage" of "Nazi"?
Come to think of it, did you even read these definitions? or did you just throw up the first "dictionary" link you could find, in hopes that no one would bother to click on it? :)
wow

Somehow we went from a mediocre JERSEY to NAZIs (who murdered millions) to GFY.
Impressive.

Okay, since you're obviously obtuse. Was it so "unfamiliar" that
anyone didn't know what national team I was talking about?
Let's recap:
1) you don't understand the word "colloquialism".
2) you believe that people are more knowledgeable of history because of where they live (I still can't stop laughing at that!)
3)you claim the use of the word "nazi" was not provocative, and
4)you were not offended
Yet:
5)you have nothing better to do than complain about it's usage in my post
6) you claim you're not some pc loser.
Now you tell me you can't see the incongruity to the above 6 statements? Hint: that means they don't make any sense.
Maybe it's the big words you can't understand. That must be the reason you felt the need to call me a name, like you're in grade 4.
Now what is your problem exactly?

That's not the sense of "familiar" that's in that definition. "Familiar" in that sense means "everyday," not "readily recognizable." :)
The sense you are now trying to claim for the term is not the sense in which you were originally trying to use it. In fact, the sense you were trying to claim for the term in your first response to Cookie's post seems to be entirely separate from both the other ways you use it in this thread.
However, now I think I do understand where you are now misusing the term. You think it means "readily recognizable", whereas what a "colloquialism" really is (and all those dictionary definitions back this up) is an informal idiom, or slang (Oxford English Dictionary gives "all the rage" as an example). In fact, a "colloquialism" entails in many ways an
unfamiliar use of a familiar phrase. That's not in the least what you seem to be trying to get across.
As for name-calling, I used and meant "fool" in a very particular (and rather un-politically-correct, you'll agree) sense, not at all playground or generic. I intended it to mean exactly what it said -- unlike, say, the very colloquial and inexact "Go Fuck Yourself," which is just flailing around for something loud.

So now you want to argue semantics?
Nazi National Team does not connote an "unfamiliar use of a familiar phrase"? If you say so. I apologize for using an informal idiom & calling it a colloquialism then. That's what your entire diatribe & haranguing of this is about then?
Talk about grasping at straws.
How about you just admit you're an idiot, ok? Because you conveniently skip over the fact that you gave Cookie credit for being an historian of note simply based on where he lives.
But you weren't offended by my use of the word Nazi, were you?
Grab a brain, meathead.

Orts and SRsez -- all due respect, but... get a room already!
You know, like maybe start a permanent "flame" thread so pissing matches like the above will have somewhere to while the rest of us post/read about oh, I don't know, the Canucks?
Just a thought.
