Sooo...I pulled the trigger on this one I picked up and it followed me home. Those aren't the original shoes on it, though. It's not exactly minty, but the action is cherry and the trigger breaks like glass.

That habanero pepper and the Dick Special are both some serious heat. I like your idea of breakfast!
 
since i live on the high plains n have actually ran cows. i reserve the right to use the term ''thinning the herd'' any time i want!

by the way, i shoot only factory ammo.
am i shooting hard cast bullets or soft?
 
Wait, you're saying the theory has been tested in real life, enough times to have a conclusive database? :eek: :D

Not at all. It's just a theory. I said, "likely to".

I've considered the following scenario:

I'm walking through bear country, with someone else, and we're unarmed. (Like that's going to happen!) We see a bear. I turn to my companion, and yell, "Bear! Run!", and then as soon as he takes off, I drop to the ground and roll up into a ball. The bear is more likely to chase someone running. Don't they always tell you not to run? There has to be a reason!

I grew up in SE Alaska, and I don't go to bear country unarmed. But sometimes I think funny things.
 
OP describes firearm function or finish problem. Poster replies "Send that dangerous/defunct/worthless thing to me and I'll dispose of it properly for you at no charge!"

Not helpful. Not funny.

EXACTLY!
When I read something like that, I have to wonder if that person JUST found the internet and honestly believes he's conjured up a brilliant witticism and is completely unaware how tired and lame it really is.
 
Baby talk drives me nuts, like adding ie on make of gun. Makes
me think of Richard Simmons type people talking to 3yr olds.
Me, too. And calling sandwiches, sammies". Gawd I hate that! And when grown men on lame entertainment shows combine a couple's names and call them that. Like "Brangelina". I even hate typing it!

Guilty - a couple of times....

But I pick my audience carefully. :)

The "boating accident"!

You have to know that whatever "they" want to find out, "they" WILL find out!

Ever heard of enhanced interrogation?
 
in·farc·tion
inˈfärkSHən/Submit
noun
the obstruction of the blood supply to an organ or region of tissue, typically by a thrombus or embolus, causing local death of the tissue.

You do NOT want one of those....

I got one, didn't want it. It finally went away. :rolleyes:

"what he said" or+1 :eek:
 
OK, one more.

"If I say what I'm thinking I'd be banned/slapped/suspended."

Either say what you're thinking and take your whipping, or shut up and respect the rules of the forum and don't post anything.

Don't be a weasel. It offends actual weasels.

Triple like :D:D:D

Don't be a coward.:rolleyes:
 
i post too many silly things to criticize the way others talk.
these phrases are here to stay n don't really detract from the fun of reading posts, even tho i agree with many of the above comments.
what really drives me crazy are the esoteric abbreviations some people use.
a cliche i can just skim past, but an abbreviation i don't know stops me in my tracks.
 
I found a new one this morning... someone posted about their rifle's action being "in a chassis" meaning they'd re-stocked it in a "tactical" looking stock instead of the timber original.

Yes, it's a small thing in the grand scheme, but if you want folks to think you're "well 'ard" as the Brits put it, learn to shoot it rather than buying it dress-up clothes.
 
Don't know if this one was mentioned? New to the world of slang?
Fanboi
Are you a Fanboi of S&W firearms?
I hate that one.......:rolleyes:

Forgot to ask, Is this new Snowflake slang? :roll eyes:
