Keepin' the magic of Christmas alive, kids!

Hm, I only hope you can manage to swallow when Santa comes.

Well, you're definitely consistent. (Y) :)

(My bets are on you and the power of Kundalini).

You got me down. (Y)

Big birds though. I like that about them.

They are rather unforgiving.

My degree thesis was on herons. So, expert but not enthusiast(ic).

Nothing beats my flocking behaviour. Then again there being only one of me does help.

Zing. Just for that I'm gonna let you say elameno-p.

I've actually lost my old profile pic now so I may be stuck teaching the alphabet and basic interpersonal skills forever. Hope those skills will be ap...

Birds are also great for teaching kids the alphabet as well as the basic interpersonal skills necessary to navigate our modern multicultural environme...

They're not. It's just your imagination.

Ah, un beat me to the lover bit. But I'll put it in context. Put yourself in situations where getting it right is a big carrot and getting it wrong is...

TimeLine.

Yes, I'm for Halliday not Chomsky. The grammar is built up from how we relate to the world. Chomsky and his bloody trees. Bleurgh. /uploads/resized/fi...

I have no idea what would constitute "winning" here. Anyhow, I knew nought about the transubstantiation when I was a young Catholic chewing on wafers,...

Hopefully the above will help to show that we do listen to complaints. As far as mod hiring is concerned though, it was suggested to us by some that t...

I've reopened this as after reading Buxtebuddha's PM I see I misunderstood something about the specific incident and that was part of the reason I clo...

This has been dealt with before and the guidelines should be clear. Besides, your own behavior and the type of comments you are prone to suggest you m...

There's a difference between a priest declaring John and Mary man and wife and me claiming they are. (And there's a difference between a priest declar...

In this case, you don't have a reasonable case. Or any case actually. So, there doesn't really seem to be anything further to say here and I'm closing...

Anyway with regard to the general point: By posting on the site you accept that we have full rights to edit and / or delete your posts. That's how mod...

I can confirm "PIZZA" was Noble Dust's edit. You could have simply asked him before creating this discussion.

You're a mod now. Get used to explaining stuff. Without end.

Spoilsport. Go on back to the Shoutbox. See how you like it there. :p

Excuse the spelling edits btw. Must be my fish fingers.

(Accepting it would anyway have the odd result of allowing a caught and thrown-back fish to be called "wet" in opposition to its uncaptured comrades. ...

But even if we were to accept this "novel" definitional constraint, the fish prior to being birthed was not immersed in sea water but in some internal...

Beats magic crackers anyway.

Wish you wouldn't carp on about that.

It's a "hidden in full view" thing I guess. Then we would be talking about disembodied fish parts not a fish. ;)

(imho :p)

The fish is wet but we don't need to say so. It's bloody obvious. That's the solution.

Beer may be though. Especially in a conversation like this.

If it were just our clothes, we would say "my clothes are soaked" not "I am soaked". If only some of our clothes were soaked and for some reason we es...

"Dried" not "dry". No. You can be soaked by rain without it penetrating your surface. See definition above. What water repellent object did you have i...

"Covered or saturated with water or another liquid." Covered (not infused with). https://en.oxforddictionaries.com/definition/wet

Sure, but this is all that we refer to when we speak of being "wet". It does not mean the same as hydrated.

If the fish is soaking (wet), it's also wet. There is nothing ambiguous in this case.

E.g. "Make or allow (something) to become thoroughly wet by immersing it in liquid." ‘soak the beans overnight in water’ https://en.oxforddictionaries...

To soak something is to immerse it in water or to make it extremely wet. The fish is literally soaking in water when it is in the water.

Describing a fish in water as wet is superfluous (unless the bugger is wrapped up) but not any less accurate then describing a lizard in the desert as...

Yes, hence phrases like "soaking wet". In that case the part of you that stepped in the puddle would be wet (if exposed). The rest not necessarily so....

Do you become less wet or wetter when you jump into a swimming pool? How about when you climb out (considering that water falls from you onto your sur...

So we're on what, delusion? Or new paradigm?
