The most ridiculous form of saying "I'm better than you!". Gout, being often refered to as the "rich man's disease" caused by overindulging foods, was somewhat relieved by raising the infection. So the rich would carry around a stool for which to rest their gout infected appendage. In a sense, "I'm better than you because I must sit down to tend to my gout, which by the way I got because I'm so much better than you."
I am now a better person for having the explanations. If I have the green light to post what I wrote here in the thread, I will do so in a heartbeat. I don't think you want to take me up on the offer, though.
2. Possibly a compaction of g'out stool (Aussie for get out, stool). My Lord, is this a triple or quadruple entrendre?
Foth, When I started this thread my intention was to give those of us on staff who needed to blow off some steam because they weren't able to "stay cool" a place to do it where it wouldn't have to be an official policy discussion. I loved your post earlier today. I like that a goodly portion of it is x'ed out. That's kind of how I feel, too. Adam
Line forms to the left............ltake a number, lol Never heard of gout stool- as a healthcare professional, I've never heard of such a term. He needs to stick to what's best.......oh wait, never mind.... All that money, and he has such poor facilities? What a cheap, penny-pinching (person of illegitimate parentage)! Dude, he's so full of himself (read: stool, gout or otherwise) that you would have some difficulty finding his heart attempting a rectal extraction. Better borrow a cow glove from the vet's office first................... Personally, he isn't worth the money it would take to blow him to hell and gone.
Friscobob- "...person of illegitimate parentage...." How come you are not X'ed out? You have written the dictionary definition of ¤¤¤¤¤¤¤. Should I replace mother¤¤¤¤er with motherfornicator? Since the root words "¤¤¤¤" and "fornicate" are verbs, why do we have a restriction also when "er" or "or" are added to the root to make them into nouns? I was out of school because of measles when they explained it all to me and it is an unsolved mystery for the last half century.
Hey, guys, I WOULD post more PHOTOS here BUT THE POWERS THAT BE WON'T LET ME SINCE MY RAILIMAGES ACCOUNT IS FULL AND I AM TIRED OF POSTING from PHOTOBUCKET. You can SEND ME A PM if you need me. Meanwhile, Mark Watson will be covering for me here just in case there's a STAFF TAKE-OVER!:thumbs_down::tb-wink:baffled:eek:
