    Melody is so right lots would post more if every thread wasnt trashed by that thin ice who seems to think he rules the boards and spends his time goading and being down right nasty to everyone. I really do wonder what he gets out of it because its obvious he private messages people to say he is sorry for what he has done but still continues to be nasty to them.

    Very sad behaviour really but it does put people off. I like posting but tbh seeing those type of sniping comments makes me think oh why bother and I’m sure others think the same even though we have enjoyed lots of AngelBabes threads, he doesnt put us off reading them so he can’t win.

    Still I guess kentobe loves him even if no one else does.

    Keep it going Angelbabe some of us love reading it even if some have to scroll through quickly to avoid some sad sacs comments.

    So Blossom you are complaining someone is trashing threads then you yourself throw in a childish remark, to continue spoiling posts.
    So whilst lots seem to be on an assumption free for all….I will assume that you Blossom have never been in love or been loved, otherwise you wouldn’t make such a flippant remark about love, and it shows in your posts here and on the other site.

    Now back on topic. Wonder where “talking out of your arse” originated from. :lol:

    PAY ON THE NAIL……..In the Middle Ages ‘nails’ were flat-topped columns in markets. When a buyer and a seller agreed a deal money was placed on the nail for all to see.

    You’ve heard the expressions “stinking drunk” and “stinko” (“stinking” has been used in English to express disgust since the 15th century). No creature alive is stinkier than a skunk. Because “skunk” rhymes with “drunk,” the two words are a natural match.
    The term “drunk as a skunk” is, as you guessed, simply a good example of our love of comparisons and rhyming, made especially popular by the fact that “skunk” happens to be one of the few words that rhymes with “drunk.” Similar, albeit non-rhyming, terms for “extremely drunk” have included, over the years, drunk as a fly, a log, a dog, a loon, a poet, a billy goat, a broom, a bat, a badger, a boiled owl, and several dozen more too risqu? to list here. Although comparative terms for drunkenness have been popular throughout the history of English, “drunk as a skunk” seems to be a fairly recent (20th century) addition to the canon.

    The ability of our friend the skunk to douse its enemies with foul-smelling musk has, however, made “skunk” a slang term of derogation in other senses. “Skunk” has, since the early 19th century, been slang for “a contemptible or untrustworthy person,” as in “That little skunk told us to buy Enron stock while he was selling his own.” And because the odor of a skunk’s musk is strong enough to discourage even the bravest competitor, “to skunk” has, since the 1800s, meant “to emphatically, unequivocally defeat,” often used in situations where the losing party or team did not score a single point.
