Pedantry!

Yeah good work. The capitalisation was for emphasis.

That would be capitalization, if you're a slave to OED protocol.

(but possibly Kapitalizashun, if you were to parody hip-hoppish bastardizations)

well on a lighter note, i just tried to use the search function for the original hiphop slave thread instead of just asking and then getting told to search. ok so i didnt find it but guess what, on the bit where you have to type in the words for verification one of the words was bronx. hiphop-bronx. get it. amazing coincidence. so who can fill the space in the classic bdp lyric below with the best word, misspelled or not.

the bronx created hiphop, ________ will always get dropped. ya still tellin lies to me.

That would be capitalization, if you're a slave to OED protocol.

to be fair, my OED does list both versions.

Which one does it list first?

Searching would have done you no good - as it is not text, but an image.

Naughty old Wheels, look at all the trouble he has started.

What in case a 'black' beats me up ?

Silly boy. :)

That is exactly what you implied.

Like I say, your concern is that 'the blacks' are going to beat me up.

No need to sign every post.

I didn't imply anything, I stated quite clearly that I think black people might find your witticism offensive. I did not use the phrase 'the blacks', or a 'black' which to my ear itself implicitly suggests a small minded, racist, perspective, and perhaps displays your own prejudices.

Do you know tynan? This debate could run and run...

yea like ten thousand spoons when all you need is a knife... killer.

I like how nothing in that song is really ironic. It's...ironic.

"Ten thousand spoons when all you need is a knife. " What were you doing with ten thousand spoons? That's not ironic. It's just weird.
"Rain (Raiiiiaaan) on your wedding day". Not ironic. Just unfortunate....

well, i think they call it satire.

You'll no doubt dismiss my reaction, but satire should be funny, surely. Of course I am being a curmudgeon.

I thought it was rhyming slang... :-(

Not really a debate, and I'm thankful I don't know Tynan. However, I will answer his charges if required. I think I should probably dislike him intensly were we to meet.

Lots of big words and bored people with English degrees makes this thread fun to read, but mugs has a good point. Wheels' original photoshop work was witty and original, but now it's becoming a fairly crap in joke. Making jokes about riding bikes from one plantation to another to oversee the slaves (to paraphrase loosely from recent comments) may not be racist but it is fucking lame.

I don't have a degree, and I'm not bored :p

I agree, heartily. [with momentum] Perhaps I overstate the racism, but it is all very provincial. Thought you lot were all cosmoploitan cyclenangtings.

In what sense? I think you are misunderstanding your misquotation. In Elizabethan times 'protest' didnt mean object to but to declare solemnly. That your stupidity manifests itself on a thread concerning pedantry is fitting.

and your pedantry.

Is that a 'I know you are but what am I' style come back? I don't really understand its significance.

There is nothing of any significance here.

Yeah, move along people...

Now that is satire! Great thread, keep 'em coming ;)

It seems you have a bit of a problem you cunting piece of shit.

I saw it, found most of it mildly amusing, but I really don't get the connection with fixed wheel posturing and 'hiphop slavery'.

well you did admit you found it amusing...

I like how nothing in that song is really ironic. It's...ironic.

therin lies the point of that song and indeed the proof that alanis morrisette is hactually a genius. i know if she posted on here we'd be spell bound by her posts and stop this arguing right now just to see what genius she'd write next.
also she might have a go at my missing word game and come up with a real corker that would put everyone else to shame. oh hang on, no one else had a go. that puts me to shame. shame.
