I'm not trying to be smug or elitist. It's just that I rarely watch anything on TV except for sports but I regularly watch TV shows online through Amazon, Hulu, or wherever. So the TV thing really did just slip my mind.

Petty your Paw is steaming at the ears, whats a Sassenach? is it a Saxon-Pig-in-a-Wig?

Its anyone born south of the Highlands as far as Paw is concerned- that includes the entire south of the country of course, the Lowlands. But mainly it means {{{englishman- sorry about the encryption but if Paw hears the word... }}}}

ps he nearly always steams at the ears- its all the buckie in his system being vapourised by pure crabbit- he's a master of the crabbit my Paw. {{{Fair makes me proud- Eru bless the violent old !@#!@- excuse the brackets again but its a days kicking if he hears me expressing a sentiment}}}

{{{{{{{{{{{{{I personally find Paw to be quite piss-weak, actually. }}}}}}}}}}}}

But does sassen mean saxon I wonder? its interesting to know where words come from, like the word bankrupt comes from the italian bancarotta, which literally means broken table or banco. merchants displayed their goods on tables before their premises.
It is said that the economic concept of bankruptcy originated from when a merchant could not pay his debts, the table on which he sold his wares (the "banco") was physically broken ("rotto") by soldiers, and this practice was called "bancorotto" (broken table; possibly it can come from "banca rotta" which means "broken bank"). Not having a table anymore, the merchant was not able to sell anything.

I saw that 'bank' business somewhere too. On a doco maybe. Interesting. It all brings back fond memories. You see, I started my first bank on the banks of The Water. When I was at the beginning of my career in commerce - back when I was even shorter of money than I am now. Nowadays, thankfully, I can rub a couple of pennies together. I'm not totally distitute now, no, for which I am thankful.

what does smug or elitist mean?

Smug er selvtilfreds, snobbete og nedlatende. Og det er i grunnen elitist også.

Words I have always associated with Eldo btw.

I hope someone will go back and hide the spoilers. Or I guess I should just avoid this thread.

Anyhow... the episodes may only be there for one week, but I sure was glad it was up as the recording was messed up half way through, so we had to go there to see the end!

BTW; "it's a three patch problem". <--- BRILLIANT!! XD

I'll try to translate for you, Norc.

"Smug and selfish, dare I say, is snobby Og the Dutchobbit. Og is always grinning and his nickname is Braggy Ogsa."

Orwell likes to help where he can.

thanks, Orwell. I didn't understand a thing of what Amarië was saying -.-"

Not a problem, Norc. You wouldn't believe it, but I don't know a word of Fjordianlandian. No, I'm not joking. I don't. Honest truth! It's hard to believe, isn't it!

If I didn't tell you this, I bet you wouldn't haven't been a bit the wiser, Norc. It's true isn't it.

I put my skill down to experience, age, natural abilitlity, and an over-abundent sense of selfhood, self confidence, and a perfectly humble belief that I can work out any language in Forumshire without any training at all!

wow, really I'm impressed!

Oh, stop it... You're embarassing me now...

Fantastic translation, Orwell. I am stunned.

But does sassen mean saxon I wonder? - Mrs Figg

According to wiki more or less yes.

'Sassenach is a word used chiefly by the Scots to designate an Englishman. It derives from the Scottish Gaelic Sasunnach meaning, originally, "Saxon", from the Latin "Saxones"; it was also formerly applied by Highlanders to (non-Gaelic-speaking) Lowlanders.'

Pettytyrant101 wrote:it was also formerly applied by Highlanders to (non-Gaelic-speaking) Lowlanders.'

What do they call them now?

Sorry for any spoilers people, I dont know how to do the spoiler hider thingy on the compuder. gosh I am so rubbish with tecno stuff its annoying and frustrating.

The forum has built-in spoiler tags, Mrs Figg. Just type the following code, like this:

Code:

[spoiler]This is a spoiler.[/spoiler]

The text inside the [spoiler] tags will appear as a simple white bar until someone clicks on it, at which point it will appear.

er sorry to be thick but how do you get the spoiler tag what do you do? wow how embarrasing.
