General Septem Posted October 18, 2006 Posted October 18, 2006 FLOK-sih-noh-see-NEE-hee-lee-PEE-lih-fih-KAY-shun I always say NYE-hih-lih-pih-lih-fih-KAY-shon because of the derivation of the word "nihilism" but that's just me. I know there are actually several ways of pronouncing it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

momma Posted October 19, 2006 Posted October 19, 2006 were very obliged that you keep this thread going and continue putting up with our corny jokes I am just glad that at least some oblige me by participating and not just letting it sit there each day with no replies. Sometimes I feel pretty useless and out of it around here being that I am with the big mouth (AG) who can articulate much better than I in one of his 10,000 word posts. Anyways, thanks for making me feel appreciated . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

DuTcH Posted October 19, 2006 Posted October 19, 2006 If the powers of perception are attributed largely to women, then I must be the exception. When the missus walks in from the hairdressers and im posting more crap on dfiST I perceive quite quickly that if don't mention how nice she looks, I'll get a clip round the ear. Also when she asks if i think she is getting fat I perceive that not changing the subject briskly would eventually end in tears, most probably mine. As you may perceive by this post she is not in the room! lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
