remixor Posted September 9, 2003 Share Posted September 9, 2003 Bad ass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wajus Posted September 9, 2003 Share Posted September 9, 2003 It depends. When I use it as adjective: badass. When as noun: rather bad-ass. Bad ass looks too literal to me. edit: But maybe this noun-adj thing should the other way round? Well, who cares? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingzjester Posted September 9, 2003 Share Posted September 9, 2003 I think I will use this pointless thread to compliment your avatar, remixor: it is badass. What the hell is that, anyway? Note, I spellt it 'badass' as a homage to this guy I know who says it a lot, out loud, and proudly as if the expression were a single word. He's the dimmest, most conceited man this side of the Pecos.... A toast! Note for the note, I always wanted to spell spelled spellt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What the hell is that, anyway? Thanks. I'm not sure if your question is serious (you being Kingz and all), but just in case it is: it's me.

twifkak Posted September 9, 2003 Author Share Posted September 9, 2003 Note for the note, I always wanted to spell spelled spellt. I'm done with my crusade, so there's no need for the disclaimer on my behalf. On the other hand, if it's on behalf of the fact that you wanted to say "spell spelled spellt," then recontinuez.

remixor Posted September 9, 2003 Share Posted September 9, 2003 Speaking of spelling, I've always spelled spilled spilt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
curacao Posted September 9, 2003 Share Posted September 9, 2003 as far as spelt (not spellt, sorry) and spelled go, they're both correct (in different contexts). Spelled is the past tense, spelt is the past participle. Spilt is similarly correct. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
curacao Posted September 9, 2003 Share Posted September 9, 2003 Oh and Remi: re your avatar, I thought it was you, and have been meaning to ask you - do you have a bigger version of that? And if so, could you lend it to me to make some artwork out of? I like the expression. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twifkak Posted September 9, 2003 Author Share Posted September 9, 2003 1)Why is it that a Maltese knows more English than a native English speaker. Wait, I know this one... 2)remixor is Remi? Woah! Mindfun.* *I may or may not have been thinking of a word other than fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
curacao Posted September 9, 2003 Share Posted September 9, 2003 1) I *am* a native English speaker. English is my first language, my Maltese is crap in comparison. And I speak/write better English than most English and Americans I've met, frankly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I speak/write better English than most English and Americans I've met, frankly. Psh. Shows what you know. In my invisible dreamworld, you are a Maltese falcon, and you swoop down from the highest tips of the Maltese mountain range to drop rare and unnoticed adventure games down the chimneys of AG forum posters everywhere. Also, yes -- it might have something to do with the crappy American education system that I went to the best school in the best county in the country and I still don't know how to write anything other than the typical 5 paragraph essay. butt knot de Vietnamese yo've nown.

twifkak Posted September 9, 2003 Author Share Posted September 9, 2003 OK, so if I've figured this right, then remixor is Remi, with himself as his avatar, and RemiO is apparently Remi's dog, with itself as an avatar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
remixor Posted September 10, 2003 Share Posted September 10, 2003 I knew that remi/remixor thing was bound to crop up eventually. And, just for the record, I am completely aware of the usage of "spilt" and "spilled"--I was merely continuing the wordplay that Kingz established in his post. Believe me, I pride myself on my proficiency with the English language. It's been drilled into me from a very early age. Tamz: I imagine I must have a bigger version, since I remember scaling it down to make my avatar. It's only one of two pictures I have of myself (the other being the one in the old "Post your picture here" thread), so I'll have to do some digging. If I can track it down I'll send you a pm.

Firefoot Posted September 10, 2003 Share Posted September 10, 2003 I voted bad-ass... as bas ass sounds to much like someones back participating in crime... and badass... really doesn't sound... Or else the 4th alternative... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
