  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,368 ✭✭✭thelordofcheese


    'Gowl', and it gets extra points because people have no idea what i'm on about over here.

    And 'End', as in, "i will end you if you don't stop being such a gowl", i have no idea where it came from, but it's slipped into my vocabulary, and i think it's got a nice ring to it.

    Yeah, I'm a fan of that un too. I don't think the film damaged it that much though. Verisimilitude is a nice word.
