one claim doesnt refute the other.

Evidence does. Rates of suicide are lower than they were in the early 60s.

You don't know some of my gaming mates.

gaming is like the modern day manshed, innit.

It really is a ridiculous argument, that if a word appears in a dictionary it is in 'common use'.

Now you're back to resorting to your opinion again.

Setting aside that you are relying on urban dictionary where anyone can post a word, if it appeared in a credible dictionary it would not mean, by itself that it is a word in common use. I am sure that most dictionaries contain the word zygapophysis - that doesn't make it a word in 'common use'

"Credible" is subjective. Still, all you've got is your opinion. No backing up of your claim.

I find it endlessly amusing that a bloke who lives his life as strictly defined by thousand year old scriptures chooses to use a non-authoritative source as a dictionary so as to suit his argument.

"Non-authoritative"? To whom? You? That's your opinion.

 

[clogged]

"Non-authoritative"? To whom? You? That's your opinion.

What do you think the word authoritative means?

"Non-authoritative"? To whom? You? That's your opinion.

Urban dictionary doesn't even require citations when making a claim.

It's less reliable than Wikipedia.

Ah, back to classic Tesseract, the moment he starts floundering and losing arguments, he screeches 'that's your opinion', just waiting for the other classic 'that's just an assumption'.

Satan or "UFO angels" should make an appearance soon, too.

Now you're back to resorting to your opinion again.

It is not just my 'opinion', the mere fact that a word appears in a dictionary does not mean it is in common use. You are not seriously advocating that point of view are you?

The fact remains that despite attempts to discredit the urban dictionary as a source and/or authority on common use language, it remains a hub for it. Such gives it a measure of authority.

Or Queen Latifah with a strap on

Queen Latifa apparently really gets into it, she dons the strap-on and has popped many a woman. Whether you're a man or a woman makes no difference. Whether one is married makes no difference either, for Satan doesn't honour marriage contracts. Adultery is a given, given the bisexual orgies that must be partaken of as a ritual. Getting "popped" is known as "gravy". If you ever hear a celebrity speaking casually of, or song lyrics involving 'it's just gravy', you'll know of their price for admission and what they're talking about.

Given up playing the ball already, ol' chap? That didn't take long.

 

[Kynge of Begrem]

No problem with comprehension, I just was wondering if you had actively considered what you typed before you hit 'post reply', and give you the opportunity to retract your comment if it was in error. As it appears you do hold this view, can I ask if a straight man, calling a gay man a pansy/******/NTTAWWTter, would or would not, in your view, be an attempt at shaming?

Why are you squibbing this question?

 

[tesseract]

Your belief that "the mere fact that a word appears in a dictionary does not mean it is in common use" is your opinion. You still haven't backed your claim.

Btw, it's becoming quite the habit of yours to re-ask answered questions. Perhaps you really do have comprehension issues.

No, it doesn't. Most of the words and definitions in it are garbage, e.g. http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=the&defid=1211756

Is that your opinion dressed as fact?

 

[tesseract]

Why are you squibbing this question?

Because it's a loaded question, given the sensitivity and PC nature of the terms.

 

[Taylor]

Could I add a word "tesseracting" and it becomes real?

Yep.

That's like your opinion, man.

The reason I gave is self-explanatory.

 

[Taylor]

The reason I gave is self-explanatory.

The reason was self assuring, not self explanatory.

 

[clogged]

That's like your opinion, man.

That's OK, my opinion is authoritative, because I said so.

 

[tesseract]

The reason was self assuring, not self explanatory.

No. It explained why it is as I've said it is.

Is there a common opinion dictionary I don't know of?
