    Most of the threads I made since I returned haven't been about race.

        Odd. I find them tedious and they slip my memory rather quickly. Must painful enough to remember, I suppose.

            You need to reread the thread. You are sloppy but you aren't dumb overall.

                      If memory serves it's origin is medieval Norwegian.

                        -KH, DaShi, Elok and others all discuss the actual OP's topic
                        -BC wanders in, and misunderstanding the entire thread to that point, construes the word "both" as meaning "niggardly" and "denigrate", when any reasonably intelligent person would have understood it to mean "denigrate" and "******"
                        -KH, the humanist that he is, construes BC's statement as having the less retarded meaning (being a mistake in fact rather than an inability to understand simple sentences), but realizes within a minute or so that BC may IN FACT be that big a moron and posts an addendum
                        -BC begins to scoot and scurry about in order to avoid having to admit that he's a moron

                        Being both a ****** and disingenuous in the same thread is a neat trick.
                        That is the way I understood the thread.

                          AHA! I knew those bloody Norwegians were up to no good.

                            These are a family of languages descending from Latin (French, Spanish, Italian, etc...)

                            Maybe this is how you got confused.

                                As to the OP, hmm, never thought about it.
