    What makes you feel like the guy in the ad?
    What phases you?
    What don't you know and are kinda afraid to ask?

    OK, i know the average AHer is a cosmopolitan, suave, sophisticated and generally well-rounded individual :p but is there anything (mundane, even) that stumps you, that makes you feel a bit like a scared kid again?

    When I was 13 I was ridiculed for asking somebody to clarify what "topping" a girl meant.

    What's 'topping'?
    And what does AFAIK mean? I've spotted it in a few posts but have yet to make the connection.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,312 ✭✭✭Daftendirekt


    Couldn't you just wiki it?

    As Far As I Know

    When you meet (french kiss) a bird (female) and you stick (put) your hand up her top and gently (roughly) feel her tit (breast):P

    When I was a kid, I initially thought that a femaile got pregnant when the male put his balls inside the womans 'place'.

    No joke. :pac:

    It's a mortgage that tracks current interest rates so the rate you pay can differ from month to month


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,829 ✭✭✭KerranJast


    I still don't understand the offside rule.
    You're in a shoe shop, second in the queue for the till. Behind the shop assistant on the till is a pair of shoes which you have seen and which you must have.

    The 'opposing' female shopper in front of you has seen them also and is eyeing them with desire.

    Both of you have forgotten your purses.

    It would be totally rude to push in front of the first woman if you had no money to pay for the shoes.

    The shop assistant remains at the till waiting.

    Your friend is trying on another pair of shoes at the back of the shop and sees your dilemma.

    She prepares to throw her purse to you.

    If she does so, you can catch the purse, then walk round the other shopper and buy the shoes.

    At a pinch she could throw the purse ahead of the other shopper and, *whilst it is in flight* you could nip around the other shopper,
    catch the purse and buy the shoes.

    Always remembering that until the purse had *actually been thrown* it would be plain wrong to be forward of the other shopper.
    :D

    I've never seen this tracker mortgage ad thing so I don't ever get the reference apart from it being annoying.

    I used to think <3 meant - balls and penis.

    When I'd see on Bebo or elsewhere - "Sarah <3 Joe" I just thought, ah Joe's riding Sarah.

    I only found out this week that sheepskin is actual dead sheeps skin. I always thought they sheared the wool off carefully so that it stayed in one big piece. Feel a bit worse abot my sheepskin lined boots now (but only a little!)

    Then again, maybe you were just (even more subtly :p ) countering by anti-joking it. ;)

    Example:
    Q: How many blondes does it take to screw in a lightbulb?
    A: It shouldn't take more than one person to do this task, regardless of hair color.

    Basically, something you think that's going to have a punchline but doesn't (in the traditional comedic sense) thereby creating surprise which kinda leads to the humour.

    Slightly different to what i suggested you did admittedly, but the principle is the same- taking the sting out of intended humour (Tar Aldarion's joke)- paradoxically leading to its own humour.

    TBH deadpanning may be a better description of what you did (if that is what you did of course).

    I still dont understand the whole chicken and egg thing, i.e. theres no actual dead baby chicken in the egg when you're eating it! Have googled it so many times its ridiculous.

    You could think of the egg you eat as being a hen's period, if that helps.
    Mind you, it might put you off eggs forever, who knows? :D

    I don't understand betting odds but then again I've never been inside a betting shop ever. I don't need to know and could Google the info if I really wanted to know. It just seems like something everyone knows.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,824 ✭✭✭ShooterSF


    i dont know what the meaning of life is!!!

    It's a rather humorous movie made by the "Monty Python" crowd who also made a t.v show called "Flying circus" and the famous "Life of Brian"

    Alternatively it is 42.
