this exchange right here is all that really needs to be quoted again. ahahahahahahahahhaahahaha

waow - you realise ive already stated that i didnt notice that post right?

jeeze i dont even need to own people any more, they are self-owning in front of me..... its like the scene in a fighting movie where the guy kicks like 50 ppls asses and so the 51st just jumps on the ground in front of him.

"well wtf is william and mary"

this implies that you understood what a "diploma" was, but not what "william and mary" was. it seems fairly obvious to me that you did notice stinkypetes post considering the exact wording of your reply.

see, at first youre all like "wtf is a 'william and mary diploma'", stinkypete posts his reply, and then youre all like "well wtf is william and mary". anyone with a brain would infer from their knowledge of what a "diploma" is that "william and mary" probably refers to somewhere one could get a diploma. like a school. anyone with half a brain would have googled it. anyone without a brain would be an ex-girlfriend in this thread, or you.

my wording is clearly a response to claunchy and miajag, ainec.

you would have to be a ****** to not realise that.

glad you feel like you're "owning" this thread, though. i don't even post in OOT, but someone actually sent me this thread saying "wow look at this idiot still arguing the same crap 3 years later", and i couldn't help but lol.

and boy did i lol

ie 'well, you guys are gonna laugh and wow, but how about just telling me'

congrats tho, im pretty sure you have cracked the top 5 dumbest posters itt now.

mmm probably not as ******ed as someone who couldn't figure out what "william and mary diploma" meant. i could be wrong, though! those four words could very well be the most indecipherable phrase in the english language.

ahaha awesome

im famous!

this has already been refuted if you bothered to read the thread.

just curious - if you could remember 3 years ago, what did you think "william and mary" meant, if not a school? im trying to wrap my head around the idea of seeing the phrase "william and mary diploma" and not being able to figure out it has something to do with education.

thats all people using that line are getting from me now btw.

if you actually want to argue, then you need to come up with something that hasnt already been proved wrong, and ill happily oblige. im not just going to repost the same stuff for every new ******ed noob.

ugh.... 3rd time this gets copy pasted. someone else had a decent explanation too. you guys are so lazy.

yeah the issue is how ridiculous it is to call a college 'william and mary', and then how likely is it that of the colleges with names that ridiculous, how many could be dropped in to an op on oot and have people actually know them. simple logic would indicate that it would be very unlikely.

as a result when someone says 'william and mary diploma', my first thoughts are:

1. william and mary is some sort of slang for a type of diploma. for example a wharton masters diploma? or a diploma from a school founded by two people named william and mary? or a diploma from a town which crosses state borders between a w state and an m state. or anything else.

the term fannie mac i believe is used in the stock exchange for example. a bunch of stuff like this is used in the military, in which its a colloquial slang used by a group of people to define something.

2. some sort of in joke that i dont know about. something similar to the mile-high club (BY THE WAY DESPITE THE CONTEXTUAL CLUES HERE THE MILE HIGH CLUB IS NOT ACTUALLY A CLUB). it could be something from an online community, a fastfood chain, or pretty much anything else.

3. some kind of diploma with two different colleges. maybe its a diploma with coursework split between a school called Williams, and another called St. Mary, and the diploma is popular enough that it has been given a nickname.

btw im somewhat interested in pursuing this with you/microbob, but any ******s that want to chip in can just save their sick one liners and pm me so i can stick them straight on ignore if they want.

oh i dont want to argue, but you are certainly willing to reply to every single new post rofl. im just here to laugh at the idiot. it's like classic old daliman up in here.

meh im grinding again for the first time in 4 months but without hud so i cant mass table as effectively. this is my entertainment.

feels good to be the centre of 2+2 again tbh, i feel like its been at least 3 or 4 years

can someone please rename the thread to 'Eskimonk opens cans of whoop ass!' so people dont get confused and post derailing things that dont involve how awesome i am?

A fountain of knowledge itt

it was an example.

because there are some people so stupid they seem incapable of working out that nicknames and slangs dont exist

It isn't in the Ivy League.

And to stay on topic with the point of the thread, a girl who couldn't wrap her head around the concept of bc time, that it went backwards because it was applied after the fact. She thought that the people back then were counting down.

Fannie Mac is a bad example since it's a conflation of Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae.

LOL Euros.

actually that makes it a pretty good example imo. fits in pretty well with as a mix of my first and third bullet point.

im not euro btw.

prohornblower + brrrr - i do appreciate the efforts to find new and exciting spots to argue about tho.

LOL @ not knowing William & Mary. ****ing ******.

bulletproof monk you are just such a ****ing idiot. like if you were to assign 100 stupidity points to everyone in this thread, you would get about 99.99 of them.

let me break this down for you so you understand it:

william and mary diploma.

thats an adjective followed by a noun.

a noun clearly always used with a college in front of it.

and you still couldnt work it out. jesus ****ing christ. please dont breed.

Bulletproof Eskimo,

You seem to enjoy baiting people into saying you are from a certain geographical location (e.g. saying you were born at Oxford and later chastising people for assuming you were English, later saying "I'm not euro" but nothing more). Could you let everyone refine their ad hominems by revealing your nationality?

australian.
