John Kettler Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 Someone came up with a cute little document scanner called doxie. Now, I'm sure it was meant to be a riff on of "docs," but whoever named it didn't realize there is a much better known use of the word, though not in common use. http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=doxie http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/doxy Regards, John Kettler 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

agusto Posted June 15, 2014 Share Posted June 15, 2014 How about a bit of rape on your noodles? http://asset-c.soup.io/asset/1688/6722_c44b.jpeg Also an all time favorite of mine, that little village in upper austria: http://www.glo-con.com/images/article/4677_1.jpg It's really there, look here at google maps: https://www.google.at/maps/place/5121+****ing/@47.7871214,12.8795571,9z/data=!4m2!3m1!1s0x4775d4854dbcba19:0x802456ee60b72a17 *EDIT: It was hard to find an image URL to that austrian village that doesnt contain the name of the village itself. The forums automatic censorship would always censor the url and prevent me from posting it if the URL contained the name of the village! I feel seriously discriminated now, i have an uncle who lives there! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael Emrys Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 Well Le or La Prophylactic... I only studied french for a year. Never got the grasp for it... I think it was designed to be inscrutable by non-French. Michael 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tagge Posted June 22, 2014 Share Posted June 22, 2014 The Mitsubishi Pajero is a sport utility vehicle manufactured by Mitsubishi Motors. It was named after Leopardus pajeros, the Pampas cat which is native to the Patagonia plateau region of southern Argentina. However alternative names have been used for many markets overseas. Due to the vulgar meaning of the word "pajero" in Spanish (which means "wanker") it is known as the Mitsubishi Montero (meaning "mountain hunter") in Spain, the Americas (except Brazil), and India, and as the Mitsubishi Shogun in the United Kingdom. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
