Knull?? What the fuck is wrong with people?

[Zoupa]

A few of us can, over time, get invited to the cook out.

Don't you hold your breath though.

Who gave you the keys?

I'm funny and cool. Offline.

What do you believe that links says that disagrees with what i said?

Primarily that it says nothing about tits and says instead;
The origin is unclear, but one theory says that it is RAF slang relating to the difficulty of performing aerobatic loops, which were described as "pear shaped" if executed imperfectly.

It doesn't say i am wrong, it ways that there is another theory out there (a silly theory, if you know anything about acrobatic flying).  What the RAF guys told me could be true even if the Urban Dictionary reports that there is another theory.

Okay.  How do you pronounce Fethullah Gülen's last name?

Goo-lin or Guh-lin.

I missed the news about ERC trying to backtrack from unilateral independence but members preventing them from doing so...doesn't bode well.

It happened a couple months ago.

Celedh. quick question, what are road speed bumps sometimes called in Spanish? Because I briefly saw a sign saying somthing like bandaros sonaros, sleeping bandits perhaps? 

I know in Malta they call them "Sleeping policeman"

Polícia deitado, literal translation of "laying down policeman" as in sleeping, in Portugal too.

Interesting thanks.

According to wiki some Latin American countries use a similar wording.

[Syt]

You're welcome.

I went to the one gay bar in IC to sing karaoke last night, and these guys at least have added more letters to the alphabet parade.  They support the LGBTQIA community.  Questioning, interested, and allies, IIRC.

[garbon]

So yeah that's not what the Q, I, or the A stand for.

[derspiess]

Because there's that much distinction between questioning and interested?

[Valmy]

I think it is for Intersex.

[Barrister]

Queer, Intersex, and Asexual IIRC.

[Valmy]

Yeah it is a pretty odd combination of gender, sex, and sexuality stuff all being part of one big community. Of course it is not really a community much anymore these days but really a political alliance.
