Dave Vader Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 Apologies for being mean, but some things deserve a little ridicule, I've stopped laughing at trust rods, but I would like a threat board...

lemmywinks Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 It's got a hole in the back, that's ok though because he "finks" it's so it can be converted into a semi acoustic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bassassin Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 Just when you think you've seen the lot - fretts, frettles, knecks, knuts, turners, humbuggers (that's right, [i]humbuggers[/i]) - just goes to show there will always be new ways to creatively mutilate the language. Who would of thought it? Jon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paul_5 Posted March 26, 2011 Share Posted March 26, 2011 A small threat board? No good to me, I like LARGE threat boards! My basses have things like " I'm a punch you in the throat and shank ya!" engraved between the frets. I wouldn't play a bass that didn't have the threat of physical violence (or similar) somewhere on it. I'll stop now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FWIW that particular grammatical cock-up is top of my personal red-mist list, and when eventually it becomes the accepted way of expressing this particular phrase (as it inevitably will) I'll pick up my chainsaw, don my easy-wipe goggles & go out and kill, indiscriminately & relentlessly.

Anyone else seen this? I'm convinced in 20 years' time written/typed English will be 90% phonetic. Or rather, fanetik. J. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassassin Posted March 26, 2011 Share Posted March 26, 2011 [quote name='Johnston' post='1177359' date='Mar 26 2011, 04:01 PM']Never on the Doll, just on the Dole or as it is over here the Brew.[/quote] "Doll" is plainly a phoneticisation of dole, I just found it bizarre that so many people had either never seen it spelled correctly or never given a moment's thought to what the phrase actually meant. It gets called the brew in Scotland as well, think it's mostly a west coast thing here. J. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
