The original post (now removed #2) used a word that does not mean anything.

It may not be in the dictionary but it is a commonly used slang term meaning that something or someone is screwed up or messed up.

That was a very funny controversy, and not just because of the ignorance of the students who were protesting.

The prof involved is VERY liberal. I know him personally.

Out of respect for the commands to respect your elders, I haven’t given him [much] guff about the ordeal.

Leviticus 19:32 ‘Rise in the presence of the aged, show respect for the elderly and revere your God. I am the LORD.’

You won’t see Obama doing that. He is either pretty much gay or bi-sexual. He’d be the guy in the middle in that scenerio with two guys on each end.

Lloyd: That's a lovely accent you have. New Jersey?
Lady at bus stop: Austria.
Lloyd: Austria! Well, then. G'day mate! Let's put another shrimp on the barbie!
Lady at bus stop: Let's not.

From "Dumb and Dumber" (1994)

Just to clarify why I said that.
