That makes sense. Good post, you smashed it. (Are you done? )

Might be an English thing, but I also miss people saying 'Crikey!'

“Nincompoopery”

I have just made a reasonable effort to use this excellent word elsewhere.

Would that be the plural of Nincompoop? Which means a foolish or stupid person.

Speaking of stupid people, who here voted for Trump? 😲 🤔

Surprise no reaction! 😉

Go to the "Debate Thread" and say that, you will get lots of reaction there.

My friend you are right, but they would jump all over your post about Trump in the "Debate Forum", I was surprised to see how many Trump supporters are around. Even here in Canada talking to people at our local Mcdonalds which I frequent pretty much every day. Might be best to stick those comments in here. 😉

Here's one I haven't heard in a while. I read it reading a newspaper article. Obviously the writer was not a recent graduate from a journalism school.
