JACK DID IT: What About YOU?
Ray:
TJ, I wasn't pretending to be nice, I was actually trying to find out who you were so that I might understand your point of view more, however considering your reply, and this public display of arrogance, I can promise you that I won't be PMing you again (but once), and I hope you find some enjoyment in life that doesn't involve ramming your opinions down other people's throats! See you in therapy!

To defend Ray - this site is used by MANY non americans as well as Americans. Therefore people will have to accept/get used to the differences in Lingo. (Bugger does NOT have that connitation in Oz or the UK) Particularly when we are not talking about BBM/Wyoming/1963 specifically - this is a chat up line thread from today!
For instance, there is certain US words that I may find offensive.... but I know which context to take it in.
Ray and Hippo (and then me) were all using the use of the word bugger in an affectionate manner.

The Brokeback Mountain Story is about Americans and the lingo used in it is related to how we talk here in the USA.
If a person called me a "bugger" in the USA and he did not personally know me or even know me well enough to tease me goodnaturedly and me accept it, it would be the same as calling me a queer, a fag, or a faggot.

Oh and yes, my only real attempt at a flirty line worked in pulling my current beau! I just made an offhand comment about going out in the town he was from more often if there was good looking guys like him going out there!

Just gotta luv you Brit and Aussie buggers! ;D
As far as flirting is concerned I certainly belong to those who'd need an instruction manual, but somehow I managed to get married anyway. It sounds pathetic, but alcohol proved to help things along a bit (it also did in Brokeback Mountain, right?). Well, there was that party... :P

I'm doing the bumping dance.

Oh, I know quite well that this group is an international group. It is one thing for a person to merely reply to something I posted and I did give the reason behind it; but, it is something else when the person sends me a Private Message to criticize what I posted in a discussion thread AND the person has to use the forum IDs of other members to support his reason for correcting me.
That's like the "Christian" mothers on an America Online (AOL) Message Bulletin Board discussion who used the slang word, "freaking" as an adjective. One of them said, "Well, everyone's using the word; even my teenagers."
I used the Dictionary provided by AOL's programs to show that the word when used as an adjective was slang for the "F" word which had to do with the act of sexual intercourse.
