Mental Floss ^ | April 10, 2013 | Therese Oneill

[Slings and Arrows]

I'm not 100% sure about that "modern usage" of #3.

[Slings and Arrows]

"The ox is slow, but the earth is patient."

[knarf]

SOMEone got a weird book for Christmas, and decided to read it while in the bathroom last night

[Slings and Arrows]

Hey, they got a publication out of it.

[Secret Agent Man]

“Any excuse for a tyrant.”

i think you understand the point.

[wardaddy]

Scorning illegitimacy again would help a lot

Have the Catholic church truly expell apostates

Those two things would help repair America more than anything I can think of

[spokeshave]

Many a true word spoken in jest

Those that would sup with the devil need a long spoon

[Daffynition]

My all time fave:

[rfp1234]

FReepers’ taglines are just as good as proverbs.

[Slings and Arrows]

That line was just plane wrong.

[CottShop]

The only sayign we need is “I fart in your geenral direction sir”

[Slings and Arrows]

You forgot “Your mother was a hamster, and your father smelt of elderberries!”

[Moltke]

I see what you did there.

[D Rider]

Why don’t we start with “A man is only as good as his word.”

[nikos1121]

I’m more concerned about the words the younger generation is losing. We need to throw them into your posts now and then.

For example:

Cockamamy as in, “It’s a cockamamy university.”

Whippersnapper: as in, “He’s a young whippersnapper.”

Caddywompus: as in, “That table is caddywompus to the wall.”

etc In fact this should have been the post.

[EternalVigilance]

In viewing the news of the last few days, I think we should bring back: “Resign and leave, Senator, or we’re going to tar and feather you and ride you out of town on a rail.”

[yldstrk]

those are really good

[yldstrk]

I do love that one

[null and void]

I see what you did there.

He was flat-out angling for a complement..
