<p>same here deus, </p>
<p>for 'gansta hoodz sppeek', i have to forcefully read it aloud a few times, before my parents ask me, "what the hell are you saying, none of this **** in my house, <em>translated gansta language</em>, what has gotten into you George?" ya, only then am i able to comprehend, too bad after my parents' scolding</p>
<p>Thanks Anita; Zantedeschia is kinda hard to pronouce though. And most people just say Zante. </p>
<p>But yea, you have the college years ahead (I hope you're not planning on an all women college?)</p>
<p>....poopoo?
<em>snicker</em></p>
<p>what does zande's sn mean, *i'm afraid to say it outloud...eek</p>
<p>deus: the 'common synonym' will be asteriked to death</p>
<p>no way......i have to make up for all the years of coed school i've lost lol :D</p>
<p>um.... "poopoo" ... can you tell i'm snickering too? :)</p>
<p>it's latin for god out of the machine and is a literary term for when an author cops out and writes a improbable ending where it seems like some divine entity suddenly just tied up all loose ends. it looks purty and symbolizes my ever present fear of my life turning into an anticlimax. without the period, it looks a bit like do sex machine. sigh.</p>
<p>hahahahaha deus i just noticed that its like do sex machine....i never read it out like that lol :D :)</p>
<p>no comment...</p>
<p>see edits</p>
<p>lol
zantedeschia = calla lily</p>
<p>Deus Ex Machina is also an industrial rock band from Italy who sing in Latin. </p>
<p>When I first saw your screen name around, I thought you were a fan of the band until now. Oh well... good band ;)</p>
<p>Nearly all of the outspoken liberals at my school are boys, and I suppose that could be looked on as immature...</p>
<p>ouch,tomas, that is insulting.</p>
<p>no don't worry, I'm one of them. I would like to think that those only listening to their parents' conservative beliefs are the imature ones, it just that one Churchill quote, you know.</p>
<p>lol, tomas i think you just showed that you're a part of the immature group to call others deficient if they do not agree with your beliefs.</p>
<p>or nvm....</p>
<p>I suppose, but I did use very conditional language, critisized a group I belong to, and it was sort of meant as a joke, hence the ..., though I see it was rather unclear</p>
<p>Found it; now I see it is '30', which I suppose is a little old to substitute for 'mature'.
Any man who is under 30, and is not a liberal, has not heart; and any man who is over 30, and is not a conservative, has no brains. -Sir Winston Churchill.</p>
<p>oy, the most outspoken and obnoxious boy in my class is (unfortunately one of my friends as well, lol) very politically conservative. p<strong><em>es me off. Uhh, the guys in my class aren't really that crude. I actually haven't been addressed that way (ie "do you sleep on your stomach" type way) since beginning of sophomore year(?). Now, we mostly get into political, academic, nerdy arguments, and if not, discussions/convos are pretty civil. Just b</em></strong>* slap the little f***s upside the head if they give you that BS.</p>
<p>i hate getting asteriked out</p>
<p>Hmm... mostly sophomores and freshman boys are immature at my school. There are less of them later on.</p>
<p>Last year, I had to take an extra (NW) history class with freshmen along with my world history class as a sophomore. It was horrible. Almost every 2-3 minutes, a batch of boys would shout p-n-s for absolutely no reason and then laugh crazily! It was really annoying. </p>
<p>In my English class last year, boys (and a few girls) would spread rumors about my teacher being a 'dyke'. They would crack pretty stupid jokes. Once, the intercom turned on for our class and 'You're a dyke! You're a dyke!' was shouted. </p>
<p>This year has gotten better. I'm slightly bothered by some boys in my class: there's one who's really sweaty, kinda smelly, and twitchy. I sat next to him in English and he touched my leg, tried to put his arm around me, and winked and threw out pick-up lines (and I'm not a beauty-queen either). He does this to EVERY girl. We were reading Scarlet Letter and he would compare the different covers because some girls he thought were hotter. </p>
<p>OK. I know the last paragraph wasn't very relevant but... boys are severely hormonally charged and it's not surprising their jokes are... like that.</p>
<p>(Oh, and boys in my grade usually sit together at lunch and talk/joke about sex then.)</p>
