Ye Olde Pub (The English Pub)

[Fruktkake]

Good morning everyone. Today, when I woke up I went to shut the computer on, but it was already on (downloading). I never thought of what I was doing so I pressed the power button. Luckily Windows ignored it because the computer was locked (Windows + L).

 

Masturbation is healthy, why isn't word masturbation?

He's one of those Christians that want to control others' sex lives.

Well, work with it then. Not that hard, and not a dumb thing to do

i don't have the energy to work with it. When I come home from school it is either gaming some hours with America's Army or going straight to bed.

I need a little bit of help. I need to translate "tidsrom" into english. Someone?

 

EDIT: if someone can help me translate "utspille" as well, that would have been lovely!

If you want, I can help you!

 

The English word for "tidsrom" could be either time span or space of time.

I'm not sure, but could "conquer" be the right word for "utspille"?

Maybe it'll be easier to translate if you put it in a sentence?

 

Anyways, our school had a survey of which websites we visited the most, and now they've closed the entrance for like 80% of what we wrote.

What an awful way to do things.

Well, that is a good way of using the words. But you can also say "time" or "period", it really depends on the context what should be used.

 

Conquer would not be correct for "utspille". Conquer is "to win" in simple words.

Which words you can use for "utspille" depends on the sentence it is supposed to fit into.

I like "Annihilation". Does anyone else like that word? It's so brutal but still so classy.

There are words that not only describe situations, emotions or feelings through their definition, but also through their syllabic presence. Just as the word kitten is genuinely innocent and soft, the word pomposity gives off a pompous air and your example, annihilation, sounds menacing to those who aren't aware of the word's definition, the evolution of language ensures that emotional omomatopœia inspires the creation of fantastically alluring words. My favorite is the very menacing "cataclysmic".

 

There are of course also words that are spelled in such odd, creative or unimaginable ways that they become more than just letters in a row, but visual melodies. Once again annihilation stands out as an example, along with some personal favorites such as chequered, visceral, sobriquet and chimerical. Essentially anything with a q in it fascinates (another good word) me.

In totally english show off mode today, SteffyPants?

Btw. Just bumped into this site by an incredible japanese illustration artist calling himself Alien. Have patience. The server is most certan located in Asia, and are probably not suited for the heavy serverload me and others are generating by leaking his address at boards like this. A must see. And a must have for the desktop background picture collection. (Maybe unneccecary to say. As for all art, this one as well contains some nudity.)

I'm always in the mood to impress, but the sad thing is that my arrogance requires me to both speak and write like that regularly. Besides, it's good practice if I ever plan to write a novel.

 

By the way, that picture was ridiculously creepy. Anime women scare me.

Can't compare to the word "Flabbergast", but still a pretty nice word.

Why are there so many difficult words out there?

Steffy; what is the main reason for your interest to learn advanced English?

Language is an interest of mine, and I find the english language to be the most versatile. There is so much to learn that no matter who you are, there'll always be something you don't know about the english language. This drives me to learn as much as possible, both in regards to vocabulary and grammar.

I also think this thread is good for anybody who want to develope their skills in the english language. I write here because I think it is fun.

 

I'm going to London to study after school here in Norway, have anybody here studied there or other places in the world were you use english much?

  Burn.

Not sure if I understood what you meant here? IS "Burn" just a new word for "Bummer"?

When you tell someone to burn, you poke fun of someones unfortunate situation (in this context)

Here you can beside the usual waste of time, waste some time on something really useful: Tetris! :!:

Damn it! I keep staying up late, even though I should'nt. What am I going to do?

[Dorian Gray]

I'd recommend a movie, I'm trying to decide between Strangers on a Train and Network. By the way, the apostrophe (') replaces the letter that's being removed, such as the o in not. Therefore, should not becomes shouldn't.
