Oh right, you're rodding.
No, I'm genuinly asking.
Jonno :cool:
'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
Circumlocution :dry:Quote:

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:
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
How so?Quote:

I'm actually very efficient at biting my nails :D
Jonno :cool:
Yes you already suggested that, I want to know how you think it's Circumlocution? how would you have worded it?Quote:

First of all, I suggested that 'asking' was circumlocution - then I suggested that 'how so' was periphrasis.
So I didn't already suggest it.
I've never been a nail-biter, so yuck! :sick:
If you want calcium, go eat some chalk... :schnauz:
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)
@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?

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

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:
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.
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
