[Jon L. Obscene]

A question to nail biters :ermm:

Jonno :cool:

[manker]

nail bitersEuphemism :dry:

[DanB]

[Jon L. Obscene]

nail bitersEuphemism :dry:

Explain.

Jonno :cool:

[manker]

Euphemism :dry:

Explain.

Jonno :cool:
Google.

[JPaul]

Euphemism :dry:

Explain.

Jonno :cool:
It's like a double entendre in reverse.

[Jon L. Obscene]

Yes I know that, I meant explain what else it could mean. Explain why Manky posted that.

Jonno :cool:

[manker]

Oh right, you're rodding.

[Jon L. Obscene]

No, I'm genuinly asking.

Jonno :cool:

[DanB]

'cos he thinks you may be uising nail biting as a euphimism for cock sucking, in which case if you are I retract my spit comment and will replace it with a stfu

[manker]

askingCircumlocution :dry:

[Jon L. Obscene]

No, if I had meant that I would have said it.
I bite my nails badly, have done my whole life, I chew and swallow my clippings, my theory is that nails contain calcium so by eating the clippings you are putting calcium back into your body eliminating the need to drink sanatogen......do ya feeeel awright :01:

Jonno :cool:

[DanB]

but nails are made from waste stuff from your body, plus think of all the skank that gets under your nails, its bad enough i bite them but fuck swallowing them too

[Jon L. Obscene]

askingCircumlocution :dry:

How so?

Would have looked a bit weird had I just putting "I was genuinly"..... :ermm:

@Dan..... Yeah I also smoke, drink, eat crap breath fumes etc......been doing it for 25 years and not had a problem yet.......go on try it.....they calciyummy :01:

[manker]

I bite my nails badlyHow does that work, can't you do it properly.

I bite my nails in an efficient manner.

[manker]

Circumlocution :dry:

How so?Periphrasis :dry:

[Jon L. Obscene]

No, It means I bite them a lot and put them in bad condition.

I'm actually very efficient at biting my nails :D

Jonno :cool:

[Jon L. Obscene]

How so?Periphrasis :dry:

Yes you already suggested that, I want to know how you think it's Circumlocution? how would you have worded it?

Jonno :cool:

[manker]

No.

First of all, I suggested that 'asking' was circumlocution - then I suggested that 'how so' was periphrasis.

So I didn't already suggest it.

[Barbarossa]

I've never been a nail-biter, so yuck! :sick:

If you want calcium, go eat some chalk... :schnauz:

[Gripper]

Nail biting is a disgusting habit(used to bite me toe-nails,but had to give up due to middle age spread and athletes food)

[Jon L. Obscene]

@Manky ... Yes, you suggested that 'asking' was circumlocution. You then suggested that "How so?" was a periphrasis. A periphrasis is the use of circumlocution no?

So I'm asking you to explain why you think both "Asking" and "How so?" are circumlocution? and how would you have worded it?

Jonno :cool:

[DanB]

:lol: :lol: :sick:

[Jon L. Obscene]

Athletes food? :huh: you mean like vitamins and red bull? :unsure:

Jonno :cool:

[manker]

@Manky ... Yes, you suggested that 'asking' was circumlocution. You then suggested that "How so?" was a periphrasis. A periphrasis is the use of circumlocution no?

So I'm asking you to explain why you think both "Asking" and "How so?" are circumlocution? and how would you have worded it?

Jonno :cool:I know what you're asking me. I'm saying that altho' circumlocution and periphrasis are similar, the times I used both were for separate incidents.

So I hadn't already suggested it.

[Gripper]

Athletes food? :huh: you mean like vitamins and red bull? :unsure:

Jonno :cool:
OOps speeling misteak,gonna leave it 'cause it reads better :lol:

You still have yet to answer my question :)

Jonno :cool:I am well aware of that.

I deemed it wholly unnecessary to the flow of the topic - so it's not that I can't, just that I'm not going to :)

[Jon L. Obscene]

If you're not prepared to back up what you say you should'nt say it........thats what you lot keep telling me anyway.

Jonno :cool:

[manker]

You're right. I think both, or even all three, instances of circumlocution/periphrasis/euphemism are those things because you meant something else.

If it were me, I might have used exactly the same terminology - if indeed I was trying to circumlocute/periphrase/euphemise.

If not, I'd have just written what I thought.

[Jon L. Obscene]

I did'nt mean anything except what I typed.

Your assumptions were wrong and your admittance that you would have typed the same just backs up my theory that you are simply trying to find any and every oportunity to post big words no one really uses but the few who think they are elite :P

Jonno :cool:Dead on I find your reasoning not only requisite but absolutely veracious.

;)

[Jon L. Obscene]

:lol: Why thank you sir.

Jonno :cool:

[Dark Steno]

can I bite yours? :unsure:

[Jon L. Obscene]

:ermm: no

Jonno :cool:

[maebach]

Spit.

[Dark Steno]

Why? :(

[manker]

Why? :(He's already got a boyfriend :(

[Dark Steno]

:blink: Wow... just wow.

[NikkiD]

I spit when I bite my nails. It's strange though, when I was married, I bit my nails all the time. After I got divorced, I never really had the urge to do so. Then after a year or two into my most recent relationship I started again. I only bite my nails when I'm unhappy perhaps?

[sparsely]

spitting is nasty ;)

[Dark Steno]

spitting is nasty ;)

[sArA]

I swallow the little bits, but spit (in the bin of course) any larger bits....

@ Gepper & manker....boys, boys please, keep your lover's tiff out of this nail biting thread...tsk tsk....

[missie]

I bite and eat the skin around my fingers and toes.
Just because I can. :happy:

[Santa]

this thread is becoming hard to swallow

especially the toes bit missie

[missie]

Meh, that's the easy part.
It's when the nail varnish flecks off, that it becomes unsavoury.


I wish belly button fluff was more intresting.

[JPaul]

Jonno,

You have had a wee discussion regarding whether or not the title of this thread was specifically picked, in order to make people think it was in relation to fellatio. Which when the thread was opened turned out to be about nail biting. This being done for comedic effect. Jolly good say I, we need more of that type of thing.

However you have subsequently denied that this was the case and done so rather vehemently. Let me say this as a mate, I don't believe you. I think that the title was picked for precisely that reason, that it was a nice wee comedy moment and that it worked rather well.

However I think you do yourself no credit by denying this.

Now I could be wrong, I fully accept that. However I think we both (and everyone else for that matter) know that I amn't.

Don't we.

It depends on how much you`ve saved. :sick:
