    I can't believe this. Anybody claiming to be a system admin and still using Windows 95 can't be the sharpest knife in the drawer. You dam Limey you apparently don't know that Webster's is a dam Dictionary? Pitiful.
    Nope, I'm still using Windows 3.11
    Nevertheless, the search bar has dictionary.com embedded, and it has several entries for pish. Which makes it strange that you can't find anything in Websters.

    Perhaps I should have suggested you get an ENGLISH language dictionary.

    Political correctness is based on the principle that it's possible to pick up a turd by the clean end.

    I was trying to point out that you should check your websters before posting.

    Fun fact: last time I saw him arguing with people he told CrabGirl she couldn't be the sharpest knife in the drawer 'cos her profile said she was using windows 95.

    There's a man what's found a winning concept and is sticking to it

    He's good at getting the dirt on people. Champion dirt-finder, he is.

    Chalice will understand what I am saying as I have said before. THIS FORUM MAKES NO GOD DAM SENSE AT ALL WITH THESE NONSENCICAL RAMBLINGS SAYING ABSOLUTELY NOTHING THAT MAKES SENSE TO ONE WITH ANY INTELLENGE AT ALL.
    Nope, you lost me after 'Chalice', you stupid old cunt.

    My favourite part is 'INTELLIENGE'. Do they provide a definition for that in Webster's?

    Please allow the following information to penetrate your remaining (yet treacherous) braincells...

    Peoples' profiles do not accurately reflect who they really are. Clicking on a profile in an effort to gather ammunition on them is stupid as fuck.

    Trying to insult someone based on which OS you think they're using (and getting it wrong, I might add) makes you look like the geriatric gobbledygook generator you have made yourself become on this forum. You're a wrinkly old joke.

    Now, hurry up and die, you silly silly old fool.

    Looks like he's ready for some deep-frying as well.
