using code language is not the same as being deficient in life skills, you know. -- nm - loosilu Jul 6, 09:06 15
- i'm not sure that's 100% true. writing sentences and communicating with grownups is an important skill. -- nm - TFox Jul 6, 09:08 10
  - but why should we expect them to exhibit that skill while communicating with their peers? - znufrii Jul 6, 09:09
  - they were communicating with *each other*. grownups are not supposed to understand. -- nm - loosilu Jul 6, 09:09 8
    - we shouldn't, but that doesn't mean they could do it when asked. - TFox Jul 6, 09:12 3
      - that was not part of the situation we were presented with. you're speculating. -- nm - loosilu Jul 6, 09:12 2
        
        yep, i'm really making a gargantuan leap with this one. -- nm - TFox Jul 6, 09:14 1
        
        says the dude who uses more code words than almost anyone on ST. -- nm - loosilu Jul 6, 09:15
    - you. out of my head. now. -- nm - znufrii Jul 6, 09:10 3
      - I posted first, that means you're in *my* head. -- nm - loosilu Jul 6, 09:11 2
        
        I had to censor out some of the longer words so TFox would understand, so it took me longer to post. - znufrii Jul 6, 09:11 1
        
        you also, on my nuts. -- nm - TFox Jul 6, 09:12

- *ding* -- nm - znufrii Jul 6, 09:06 2
  - some might even argue it's smart. -- nm - loosilu Jul 6, 09:06 1
    - I'm not sure I'd go that far. -- nm - znufrii Jul 6, 09:11
BTW uncle Walt, it's spelled "Fiancee" not "finacee" -- nm - Walt's niece Jul 6, 09:01
