Guest skw Posted December 23, 1999 Posted December 23, 1999 If the simpsons is such a great cartoon then how come duff isn't such a great beer
Guest Imladil Posted December 23, 1999 Posted December 23, 1999 In American slang, a duff is a bum. And a bum is a transient. This computerized hypercultural transliteration has been brought to you by the makers of Zoom Rabbit, the fastest podracer to blaze Beggar's Canyon in the Boonta Classic. ------------------ "The entire universe is simply the fractal chaos boundary between intersecting domains of high and low energy." --Imladil the Wanderer "If Jupiter obeys liquid rules of physics, wouldn't it be teardrop-shaped?" --Little Jimmy
Guest Stealth Posted December 23, 1999 Posted December 23, 1999 Duff = broken,nogood,useless etc.. Never heard of a bum being called duff ! besides they probably call them something stupid now like disadvantaged home person. Ha and yet Websters dictionary calls duff a pudding boiled in cloth. Never heard of that one either,
Guest Imladil Posted December 24, 1999 Posted December 24, 1999 To me, duff sounds like it could describe the kind of pointless banter one experiences posted here on occasion... <font size=4>Zoooooooooooooooooooooooommmmmm--!</font> <font size=5><font color=red>CRASH!!!</font></font><font size=1> ................BWA-ha-ha-ha-HAH!</font> This has been a production of Radio Free Saturn, broadcasting from the RINGS, baby...! ------------------ "The entire universe is simply the fractal chaos boundary between intersecting domains of high and low energy." --Imladil the Wanderer "If Jupiter obeys liquid rules of physics, wouldn't it be teardrop-shaped?" --Little Jimmy [This message has been edited by Imladil (edited December 23, 1999).] [This message has been edited by Imladil (edited December 23, 1999).]
Guest Lt Guilo Posted December 25, 1999 Posted December 25, 1999 Actually, Stealth I think Imladil's extemely-out-there style once again carried any pertinent info which also happens to be in his posts along with the rest of his usual content... In American slang, BOTH <font color="000000">"duff"</font> AND <font color="000000">"bum"</font> are actually subs for one's backside. Some examples might include:    "To sit on one's duff"    When Lara Croft (of <u>Tomb Raider</u> fame) says "...You'd best not be lookin' at me bum!!!"
Guest Lt Guilo Posted December 25, 1999 Posted December 25, 1999 Er, actually....the above usage of "bum" is derived from British slang, NOT American. My bad.
Guest Imladil Posted December 25, 1999 Posted December 25, 1999 Well, it looks like at least Lt. Guilo is fishing after them pearls... Oink! ? ? ------------------ "The entire universe is simply the fractal chaos boundary between intersecting domains of high and low energy." --Imladil the Wanderer "If Jupiter obeys liquid rules of physics, wouldn't it be teardrop-shaped?" --Little Jimmy
Guest Imladil Posted December 25, 1999 Posted December 25, 1999 ...And the post does make more sense when you bear in mind that I was responding to a British unit...to whom "bum" would mean "duff." --Just don't get mad if one asks you for a cigarette!!! ? ?
Guest Lt Guilo Posted December 25, 1999 Posted December 25, 1999 *(ROFLMAO)* ...How 'bout if you give one o' THEM a pat on the fanny?
Guest skw Posted December 25, 1999 Posted December 25, 1999 I have , now that you mention heard duff used in a negative sense ie... "it's duffed up" (referring to a broken object)
