BuffaloHelp 24 Report post Posted May 9, 2005 "It's always in the last place you look" 139724[/snapback] This statement denotes that sometimes you find it in the least expected place. Although I have never thought that statement as your take. Very intersting. You gave me something to think about. "I've seen your type on the radio." "This is the biggest smallest city in the world" These are examples of oxymoron where two ideas are contradicting one another. Few examples are:"that's a jumbo shrimp" "it was pretty ugly" "silent cry" "deafening silence" "Dont look at me in that tone of voice."I wonder if that is what you heard. If you replace 'in' with 'with' it's correct. At least that is the way I've heard it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Alright smart Alec! We don't need your type comin' up this neck of the woods and spouting all stuff and nonsense about our yapping. Why don't you just swallow some humble pie and apoligise for kicking us when we we down. All we tried to do was have a banter about silly sayings and you have to go and start stiring by using oxyMORON and general premodifications to make you sound all borgeious like Maggie Thatcher well I for two have had enough, go on, Sling your hook.

HA HA HA . I did not mean to stick my head in where it did not belong. I suppose I should call my proctologist and get my head out of my buttocks. Apoligies to BUFFALO - we're all freinds here 139742[/snapback] No need for one. After all, this is a forum. I especially enjoyed the colorful insults (although I cannot tell if in fact it was an insult since I am bit light on the lingo). Are you Coventry, CT or Coventry, UK? Judging by your phrases I am assuming that it's UK. No need to reply since it's your personal information. Cheers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Puck_4004 0 Report post Posted May 9, 2005 Don't worry I wasn't out to offend BUFFALO (Thumbs up)Just harmless, playful bickering that's all.More statments:-Happy as Larry (Who's Larry)-Catch as bus (Who threw it, that's what I want to know)-Creased up to the nines...Etc.I'd be happy to let you deconstruct them BuffaloHELP if you'd like to.Thankyou all (and to the poorer people - cheers) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

iGuest 3 Report post Posted February 17, 2008 Phrases that mean the same thing. Or so close there is no room for dispute. Stupid Statements For example, when people give a reply to something someone says and they agree, they say: "basically", or "for the most part", or "as a rule", or "that's about the gist of it", or "you could say that", or "that's usually the case", or "that's the brunt of it", or "generally", or "that's about right", or "most of the time", or "I would venture to say you got that right", or "most likely", or "probably so", or "that's a given", or "the odds are for that", or "you could put your money on it", or "you pretty much hit the nail on the head", or "that's a safe bet", or "in all likelihood". These things, and MORE, mean the same thing. "OVERALL", that is! "You can count on it"! -reply by Randy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
iGuest 3 Report post Posted August 21, 2009 I can remember when I was in schoool, there were three girls who amused my friends and I to no end."Is the White House really white? I mean, seriously. Someone could have painted it purple or something.""How did they know Africa was like, THERE?""Where's Japan? I know it's like, attatched to Austraila or something.
