Why don't you go prematurely ejaculate some more into your own well-worn hand, penilebandit?

7/30/2008 3:41:47 PM

penilebandit.

Really?

Really?

7/30/2008 3:43:22 PM

^ Yes, you have a firm grasp of the obvious--and penises--penilebandit.

7/30/2008 3:48:39 PM

I'm sorry. I've obviously had you all wrong in your time on TWW.

You're not a grumbly old man at all.

You're just a twelve year old boy, awash in a sea of early pubescent hormonal confusion.

I apologize for the mix-up.

7/30/2008 3:53:07 PM

Is there anything in the world that doesn't enrage you, hooksaw?

7/30/2008 3:55:53 PM

My guess is going to be high school chicks

Wait, i bet they reject him

and I bet that enrages him too

7/30/2008 3:57:29 PM

i still don't understand the whole [sic] thing...why would anyone use it in the first place? to note that they're are knowingly and intentionally using bad grammar and/or misspelled words?

7/30/2008 3:57:33 PM

The weird thing is he even adds it when he is quoting people.

Isn't it obvious if he is quoting that he isn't referring to something he wrote?

7/30/2008 3:58:43 PM

fucking Bono?

it's for when you're quoting someone directly and want to acknowledge that you know there's an error, but you're including it for the sake of accuracy

7/30/2008 4:02:40 PM

You people are fucking stupid. If you don't know what sic means, fucking look it up.

Let's see now:

Fuck you, FrumpyFOP.

Fuck you, penilebandit.

And fuck you, too, PoleTracks.

Yeah, that about covers it for now.

7/30/2008 4:03:12 PM

Seriously, those comebacks are worse than the ones I used when I was in fifth grade...and I was a huge fucking nerd in fifth grade.

You might as well call us all stupidheads.

Prick.

7/30/2008 4:04:56 PM

I think most of us seem to have known what sic means.

And your pet names for us are fun and all, but generally they're not even that insulting. I mean, "Frumpy?" Oooooooh, burn. Got me good there. And for "poletracks" to be offensive you have to take some pretty big leaps.

Also, a disproportionate number of them seem to involve dicks. "Pole," "penile," etc. Not to mention your penchant for posting pictures of small penises. The trend is a bit disturbing.

l like the it when they use [sic] on the news to reinforce stereotypes and/or mock

like they quote a letter from a black guy to his mom

"i axed [sic] her to date me and she said no"

shits off da chain, yo

here's a question, how about when they use brackets like that... example, let me rewrite part of my first sentence to see if i understand this...

"i like it when [the news anchors] use '[sic]' to reinforce stereotypes"

is that how they do it/what they're doing, when you see stuff in brackets like that? identifying an implied noun or some shit?

7/30/2008 4:10:06 PM

It's replacing a pronoun with a proper noun to give context.

If I said "he enjoys posting pictures of male genitalia," it'd be better to quote me as "[hooksaw] enjoys posting pictures of male genitalia," so that everyone knows what I'm talking about.

To the crybabies here:



And, PoleTracks, nobody's pushed my beak in yet. And you sure as hell won't, you fucking phallus.

7/30/2008 4:23:48 PM

Siiiiiiiiiiiiickkkkk Burrrrrrrrrrrrnnn

7/30/2008 4:25:42 PM

^ Like I said.

7/30/2008 4:27:25 PM

FUCK



NOT THE DREADED ROLLEYES



NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

7/30/2008 4:28:31 PM

thanks boone

i mean i've always kinda understood what it meant when i read it, and always figured i did it right when i was using it in writing... but i never knew the definition or whatever, and i don't remember ever actually learning it in school. just something you kind of learn through context, placement, and repetition....

is there a name for it besides "replacing a pronoun with a proper noun"?

can't you also use it to show that you've replaced a letter from a quote? for example, the original was:

"He has never seen a vagina in person."

but if i were using that quote in the middle of a sentence, i could do:

"hooksaw is so pathetic that '[h]e has never seen a vagina in person'."

7/30/2008 4:39:12 PM

you're a teeny tiny weewee

7/30/2008 4:48:49 PM

^^ I was laid this weekend--by a woman--and that's one big difference between us.

^ You should have hyphenated "weewee" (sic).

Oh come on now, hooksaw isn't quite that bad.

Unless I missed a thread where he expressed a sincere belief that Barack Obama is an Al Qaeda sleeper agent.

7/30/2008 5:11:38 PM

he would be banned 10 times over within seconds

7/30/2008 5:15:29 PM

^ And why is that, whatever alias you are?

7/30/2008 6:08:54 PM

so glad i dont know why people use "[sic]"

7/30/2008 6:11:39 PM

why would you be proud of ignorance?

7/30/2008 6:19:20 PM

^^ Keep in mind that it's only in brackets within quotation marks; outside it's in parentheses.

7/30/2008 6:25:38 PM

How do you feel about simply "WRT" ?

7/30/2008 6:26:00 PM

yo this thread is (sic)

7/30/2008 6:26:46 PM

I like the brickyard

7/30/2008 6:37:27 PM

^^^ It certainly could be used in this type of environment, just as FYI, FTR, and BTW are used. Just as long as those using the intialism at issue know it stands for "with regard to" and not "with regards to."
