ASS ADS. I think we wanted ASS ADS.
Haven’t the ASS ADS oppressed the Syrian people long enough?
No, no, no. We didn’t ask for a rooster; we want the monkey back. Jeez. This computer crash really has you all discombobulated, doesn’t it ?
Monkey? Monkey? I’ll say it slowly so there will be no mistake:
Ar ma di llo
Is that spelled right? ‘Cause I don’t want Bill correcting my stinking spelling. Only Gail can correct spelling and grammar. She’s official and all.
Whose cock?
(Oh. Wait. I’m married, and not left-wing enough to be obsessed with outing gay hustlers. Slinking away.)
I AM THE OFFICIAL ENGLISH TEACHER. FEAR ME.
FEAR THE POWER OF MY ORTHOGRAPHY, WHICH STANDS ASTRIDE THE BLOGOSPHERE LIKE A COLOSSUS OR SOMETHING.
gail – cross your legs! (…. quick …..)
Oops, don’t tell me I forgot those darn bloomers again!
What does bird-watching have to do with anything?
Oh, wait, that’s ornithology. As you were.
We all have our lapses ….. I remember when …..
… well, forgeddabouddit!
Gail, I fear no birth-control pills.
orthography: the art (art, mind you) of writing words with the proper letters according to standard usage.
Well, hell. My orthography sucks.
Just make sure Gannon doesn’t get a picture of your orthography getting sucked.
– Like Courier without Ives…. sKerry without Vietnam….Pochus without Hontus….
– What are we to think…. All this COCK and zero ASS….its blasphemy….Maybe even Proctomy…
– Wonkette is going to start to believe we’ve turned our backs on her…(covered of course, this isn’t a Greek wedding)….
– You simply need to get your “hard” drive reformated or circucised or something…
– CITIZEN JOURNALISTS EVERYWHERE ARE DEPENDING ON YOU…..SPANK DAT MONKEY….
Oh, THAT monkey. And I thought we were off topic.
Well, we moved from rock hard nipples straight to the root cause.
– Its best if we all get off as much as possible……
Does anyone know the name of the Dusty Brand Clothing model?
Make one up if you have to….
I simply need something to call out in my next moment of self-gratification.
… and hurry, please.
COCKS AND MONKEYS! Jeez, what is this, some kinda Chinese zodiac? Next thing you know, somebody’s gonna bring up that trouser SNAKE!
– The … erm… “Trouser snakes” have been “UP” for sometime now….and least mine has……
There. Was that so hard?
*snigger*
You forgot the “GAY PORN…” part.
You mean orthography’s just a 50 cent word for spelling?
Spot on, Randy.
Gail, your teacherness, doesn’t it also include the use of all of those funky pronunciation symbols that one sees in the dictionary that would help one pronounce words if one had only paid attention in grammar class?
We, here, at pw are nothing if not precise. Since most of us were English majors. (Pre-unemployment, as I like to call it.)
Ana, It depends on the usage.
Orthography (Oxford English Dictionary)
1. a. Correct or proper spelling; spelling according to accepted usage or convention. Also personified. In early modern use occas. applied to the pronunciation of words in accordance with their spelling
b. A system of spelling or notation.
c. Spelling as an art or practice; the branch of knowledge which deals with letters and their combination to represent sounds and words; the study of spelling.
There’s something deeply unsatisfying about ending a thread called “cock” with a definition of “orthography” from the OED. It’s too English majorish even for me. SO, COCK COCK COCK COCK COCK COCK COCK COCK.
