What Is the best comeback, EVER ? The favorite comeback of a school kid " Your mum " Smooth !

That doesn't work, it's got to be "Yer maw!".

Actually, it wouldn't be a spelling debate, it would be a grammatical one.

Actually, it wouldn't be a grammatical debate, it would be a semantics one.

Strangly enough, I was on my way to typing that exact answer.

[Bonanzoid]

Stop hacking my webcam!

[MK Chris]

there aren't either any adverbs in that sentence. The word you'll be looking for is verb.

Usually, I'd have a go for the same reason, but I always get parts of speech like that mixed up, I'm terrible for remembering which is which.

[TIAL]

I've never heard of 'Yer maw!'

It's always been 'Your mum!'

[Bonanzoid]

It's Scottish. And "your mum" sounds too posh, the way I'm thinking it'd be said.

"Well, sire, the joke is on you, for once had intimate relations with one's mother one eve past!"

[Bonanzoid]

That was meant to read "for [/]one[/b] had...". I hate when one typo alters the meaning of the entire phrase.

No it would not be a semantics debate. You will find that I was right when I said about linguistics. Linguistics is made up Divisions, specialties, and sub-fields.

Theoretical linguistics is a division made up of particular specialities of study and Semantics is the study of meaning in communication. The fields that are generally considered the specialities of theoretical linguistics are syntax, phonology, lexis, phonetics, pragmatics, morphology, and semantics. And don’t get me started on Applied linguistics again a division, with all those specialities including psycholinguistics, sociolinguistics, cognitive linguistics, language acquisition, linguistic anthropology, descriptive linguistics and computational linguistics. But the main word which covers all these fields of study would be linguistics!

Linguistics wins!

"your mum" sounds too posh

Not if said in a thick London accent

While it is correct to say that it is linguistics, it is also correct - and, indeed, more specific - to say that it is semantics. Otherwise you could say: Actually, it wouldn't be a linguistics debate, it would be a language one.

Just to attempt to get this back on some sort of topic.

Whenever I fancy someone, I use the same tries an tested tactic that has worked for me for years. I run up to them, shout "I love you", push them, hopefully so they fall over then run off laughing! It worked with my first girlfirend (age 5) so I'm guessing it still works now.

No, don't - this thread illustrates perfectly the point that's been made elsewhere about the number of pointless stupid threads there are on the boards at the moment. Fact is, the thread was pointless so everyone started talking about nothing. And in fact, talking about nothing was far more entertaining than the original pointless topic (which mightn't have been quite so pointless if it weren't, in general terms at least, already being discussed elsewhere).

[Andy B]

Isn't this section of the forum for exactly that though. Off topic discussions I.e everything that's not related to the CMS? Surely if you don't like a topic then don't post in it and it disappears. If you want different thread topics then surely it's up to people to create threads they WOULD like to talk about.

I'm far too lazy and unimaginative to create my own topics so I just generally post in other people's. If it weren't for Viv's inane ramblings then I'd probably still only be a newbie! But then again I'm a big fan of random so that's just me.

[rachel1989]

Stay out of the chatrooms if its bothering you that much.

Probably. I'm just having a phase, is all.

What the hell have chatrooms got to do with anything? And don't tell me what to do missy.

That wasn't aimed at you....

Watch out for Yudster - she bites.

It wouldn't have been pointless had it been picked up properly.. as it was, people randomly started to post about ice-cream. I honestly believe that since you've got your mod status in the Chatroom, you've become increasingly bossy.

[Andy B]

For a moment there I thought I had been created a Mod....I was always more of a rocker though...ahh those great days in Brighton....

[Vivienne]

No, I'd never say anything bad about you. You're cool. I like yuds too (mostly), but recently she's been more & more up her own backside, bossing people about.

Sorry rachel - even if it had been aimed at me it was an unwarranted piece of snapping. I'll try to be nicer.
