Remember that big stink caused by ignoramuses about "niggardly"?

[BlackCat]

Maybe you should edit your post then.

Care to explain ?

[KrazyHorse]

Once more, you've demonstrated that your eagerness to somehow prove me wrong in something, some day, overwhelms the interest I assume you have in not looking like an idiot.

Which retarded statement were you making, BC:

1) That "******" is not derived from the latin for "black" because it went by way of Spanish (or Portuguese; can't remember)

2) That "niggardly" is not derived from the latin for "black". Obviously true, and just as obviously revealing of your intellectual deficiencies, due to the fact that THIS ENTIRE THREAD IS PREMISED ON IT, THUS UNDERSTANDING "BOTH" TO MEAN "NIGGARDLY" AND "DENIGRATE" IS IDIOTIC

1 or 2? Pick one and defend it, you moron.

Wow, we are desperate, aren't we ? Care to elaborate on :

Any word which derives from a Romance Language word which is directly derived from Latin itself derives from Latin.

Care to explain ?

To mellow its stupidity.

(1) or (2), moron. Pick one.

I don't have any wish to demonstrate that you are wrong, that you do perfectly on your own. That it pains you when I do it, is your problem, not mine

[KrazyHorse]

Come on sweetheart. Choose and perish...

[KrazyHorse]

It's so sad that he can't even decide which of the two idiotic statements he was making with his ambiguous post....

[BlackCat]

(1) or (2), moron. Pick one.

naw, you first - explain that part about Roman languages - I'm curious.

[KrazyHorse]

It's so sad that he can't even decide which of the two idiotic statements he was making with his ambiguous post....

[KrazyHorse]

My guess is that he was originally saying (2), but on further reading he thinks that he has a better chance of defending (1) as being less-than-totally retarded. However, before he says so he wants to scope out what thrust I will make in demonstrating its idiocy.

[BlackCat]

To mellow its stupidity.

yeah, that may not be proper english. What I wanted to say was "soften/reduce" the stupidity

[BlackCat]

KH, we all know that you are brainy enough for two, you have told us that many times. Though, may I suggest that you create a KH II ? That will reduce our concern about your mental healthiness

[KrazyHorse]

So, you admit that you're hoping to take two bites at the apple for the price of one?



Feel free to come play when you're ready to wager your pride, once more, on the small chance of you managing to win an argument...

[BlackCat]

Well, I sincerely hope that I take a bit of both of you taking a bit on one - otherwise I may recommend that you seek help

Edit: I'm still curious about that little pesky Roman language thingy.
