I think it is time that we all took it upon ourselves to raise the state of the English language by not stooping to the 'common' ways of speaking. Take farting, for example. The proper thing to say when you are having a posterior bout of gas would be, "I'm most sorry about that, my friend, but I've been quite flatulent today."

I was hoping that the good people of the forum could assist me in pointing out other ways in which people can be more intelligent in their use of the language. Simple phrasing can make a world of difference to how one is perceived. Take the two statements which follow as an example:

1) God your an ignorant cow!
2) Gracious me, you know a lot about nothing!

Please make me proud with the posts that follow and show that you, too, can rise above the common.

The above should provide some help in obscuring the noxious verbiage eminating from the demziens of this esteeemed forum.

The eald words warm my breostcofa! Thank you, lipe Letalus Senium.

I'm curious. Would 'botty-burp' constitute a suitable replacement for... you know...

No, but 'catch you later' can be used as cockney slang for a person who is often 'windy'. Cockney slang, by the way, is a highly regarded language in some parts of the universe!

I know.... bwa-ha-ha-ha-ha!!!!!

When I was a kid we would use the word "poot" -- which for some silly reason always made us all fall on the floor in uncontrolled merriment.

Especially liking the Old English word "scynscatha."

Time for another tip on manners before this thread is - if you will pardon the pun - gone with the wind!

Do not tell people to get the f*** out of your house, try this instead:

"I'd like to help you out. Which way did you come in?"
