"Jumpin' Jack Flash, it's a gas, gas, gas."
-Rolling Stones-

Does the lyric make sense to y'all, now?

The term 'gas' as a synonym for 'cool' was most popular in the US in the early '60's, part of Beat Generation lingo, most-frequently applied to jazz musicians. It was eventually replaced by 'groovy' in the latter part of that decade. Obviously, it's still in use overseas.

I like outmoded slang; keeps the kids on their toes.

I like that you think that is outmoded, who's to say gas didn't originate here... people in Ireland have been using that bit of slang here for ages young and old, and still do...la..

thank you Sarya i hope everything is alright

Sheppard

It's only outmoded in America. Current lingo for 'cool' in common usage (at least within Army subculture) is "Sweeeet", "tha bomb", or "tha shizzle."

Spilling from the lips of someone my age, though, those terms are just FUBAR.
Which is why I dig outmoded slang... it suits my age demographic.

Returning to topic... I like some things about my job.

Today's entertaining moment was probably one of the best I've had in weeks; the NCO meeting at close-of-business. My acting Platoon Sergeant, SSG Fatinikun, is a nice-enough guy, but he's originally from Nigeria, and English is a second language for him. Our meeting today came at 16:00, he walked in, complaining about not having gotten any breakfast or lunch, and started chowing down on a piece of cornbread from the Dining Facility.

Now, his Nigerian accent is really thick to begin with.
He stammers when he speaks English, and it's even worse when he's not in a good mood.
Add in a mouthful of cornbread on top of that.... I couldn't understand a single syllable coming out of his mouth for ten full minutes. I just sat there, smiling and nodding my head, knowing that I'd get all the important information tomorrow morning from SGT Morris.
Wish I'd had a tape-recorder.

I use the word cool, I like that word. my dads 58,never heard him use gas as a term for cool.
He used to use F***in A, but hasn't in a while

"Cherry" was also used, as was "tits". But all in all, it's sweet, cool, hip, hep, grooovy, a gas, and far out. Can ya dig it ?

Oh....*I Like* having enough self control to be able to keep myself from saying in another thread to a person: "Don't talk with your mouth full." ...heh....

*I Like* the difference between "can be" and "is be".

I like "may be", "could be", "should be" and "would be"
I like never talk with my mouth full...I swallow first

*I Like* the person knew who they was (is).

I like well "duh!",it wasn't hard to figure out!

i like that my girlfriend is getting back from her 1 month holiday on sunday.

i like that katie is a good dancer hehe

Sheppard

You know what i like not getting sent to prision at age 13 I am so glad the pulled the charges....

Yeah, well....*I Like* making it easy enough so even you could figure it out. ...heh.....

I like can't hear you!

*I Like* being a bit of a sh*t.....

<a bit Mos? Just a bit? ha ha ha>

I like the I made friends with a box of Light Golden Brown Hair Color this evening.

I like that you beat me to it Dani..I was going to say that..and then read yours..

I like that I have a date to meet Lady Revlon High Dimensions vibrant Copper Blonde later..she makes all the grey clouds disappear..

I like that this weekend, I will be making pretty things for a good friend if said friend reads her mail and sends me what I need..

I like the saying when you hear something in stereo it must be true..So hear it is in full stereophonic sound..A bit Mos????? lolololololololo

I like mos being ganged up on!

I like.....

in a odd way i feel sorry for moz nah carry on hehe

Sheppard

I like that I know what Sarya's sig says.

google translater?

Sheppard

I like that tyreil will soon find out what this means

Θα σύντομα επίθεση ΑΤΛΑΝΤΙΣ και υποδουλώνω όλους σας

I like that no on-line translator can translate this with accuracy, but Garrett,its for you!...he he

ako ay gaya matamis gaya candy,and gaya masimbuyong dam-damin gaya ang bungangkahoy atipan ng pawid umagos sa akin lipistik!

Ugh...

garret before you get over jumpy with this i haven't the time to work with anything like this for the time being

Sheppard

I like that I dont know what the heck any of you are talking about

Wish that I could hear stereophonic sounds, but alas, a ruptured inner ear prevents that. *I Like* it cutting down on nattering I have to put up with by only having to use one finger to block the sound while I use the other finger to express my gratitude.
Three to one...heh.... *I Like* a fair fight when things are evenly matched.....

Oh, and *I Like* not giving a rat's arse what those foreign words mean since I am not a foreigner.

moszibby, not a foreigner in relation to what non-foreigner basis? If making it in the most fair way - basing solely on the population principle, then those who are true non-foreigners are actually the Chinese people But if it's another principle - who were non-foreigners first - then those are either Egyptian or Iranian

*I Like* that Sarya actually expects a straight answer from me even though she's been here long enough to know better.
*I Like* that I feel like dancin'
*I Like* that even after my character in the game got killed, my companion Carah went right on kickin' arse.

Since this is actually an English site..then that would make you a foreigner.

Yeah, that makes a point too

I was born in the U.S. speaking another language doesn't make you a foreigner..
I like that mos sometimes reminds me of the south end of a mule going north!

What is the meaning of that rabbit smiley? Does it have anything to do with that mule's... emm... rabbit's south end?

Necromancer G, try to translate what that means: "Шла Саша по шоссе и сосала сушку". No, better try to say it

i like that i just broke a Nazi Punk's arm.
i hate Nazi Punks.

(in my self defence he attacked me first)

Why did he?

must admit self defence works

Sheppard

cause he's an idiot, one of those aggro people that think they can take anyone on.

blast my lips just swell


yup quite well

*I Like* that some people quote a whole bunch of stuff and then only comment on what's in the very last line. *I Like* that Dezi often talks what the donkey leaves behind.... *I Like* that Jntk kicked arse.

That's so sad... but even more sad are kids going nazi here... where's not a single family that lost no one in the war.

you will always have fight if your in a group with another group no matter what

Sheppard

if you can't take it,don't dish it out...

*I Like* that your dinner is served....

ILIKE TO SEE YOU TRY IT, TOUGHGUY!

Since foreign can mean "strange or unfamiliar", yes, yes I am, and *I Like* it ! woo hoo

@ Dezi: Please quit burpin' when you say that.

i like that mos waits till someone logs out to make juvenile comments,immaturity has no physical age limit. Further responces from me are now non-existant. I refuse to lower myself to your standards.

anak na lalaki ng a buriko

Good one!!!!!
hahahahahahahahahah

*I Like* EDITED
....heh....

Fek!!! I FEKKIN like FEKKIN BEARS!!!!! FEK!!!!!

I like that some day I will be remembered by history for doing something great....I swear it
