Alliterative?

Yes, Alliterative.

al·lit·er·a·tion

I figured a guy who said he could have gone Harvard would know that.

Yes, I miss Sporty

I don't know.

Actually I fancy myself as a purveyor of common sense with a decent vocabulary which does not parse any insult in the delivery of the word in question, but you indeed decide for yourself that is an 'insult' (despite insisting previously that is does not bother you). I suppose next when someone uses the term 'Tide' you can take it as an insult comparing your team to laundry detergent.

I am shocked, shocked! to find tedious and obnoxious comments on these boards.

"Bother me" is the wrong phrase, I think.

Tide is fine. Bama is fine. UA is fine. Bammer is not.

But who knows...maybe I'm just looking for an excuse to poke you in your eye.

Ghost, please stop picking at AA's translucent skin. I know it's fun to provoke the inevitable "______, you are a moron" response, followed by a grumpy rendition of War and Peace. But in the long run, it's just plain cruel.

"But who knows...maybe I'm just looking for an excuse to poke you in your eye."

We have a winner...

Indeed, an eye for an eye .......

now all we need is a benediction from the apostate preacher.

A,TAPR

Sometimes, I admit, I do like picking the odd fight. While anyone who uses the term "Bammer" is of low breeding and intelligence, I don't normally stand in the way of people who wish to look foolish.

Hello

Please let the reflect that I, Professor Tiger, the Apostate Preacher who returns, hardly ever use the term, Bammer. It's schoolyard stuff.

But if/when others call me "Aubie" or "Barner" or some such, I really don't take it personally or fulminate as a result. This is a college football board, fueled by various rivalries that often result in disparagements. I never profess shock when it is aimed at me.

Yes, we are ALL very proud of how grown up you are. Now button your coat, young man.

To the last, I will grapple with thee... from Hell's heart, I stab at thee. For hate's sake, I spit my last breath at thee.

Then again, Khan could have just said - 'Yes. Bammer'

usually works

Prof,


Rammer Jammer is not alliterative. Not sure if you posted that definition and still didn't understand the word or not.

PT, is war chicken acceptable?

Prof probably prefers poultry. Because Barner belittles BusGus.

(^^^^^^Alliteration^^^^^^)

BBB, you are a mouth breathing knuckle dragging moron.

No, you ignorant slut, "War Chicken" is not acceptable to me. Furthermore, "War Chicken" is not acceptable to anyone with any intellectual capacities whatsoever. This crude and childish derivation from the noble cheer War Eagle is not funny. I know funny, and if it were funny I'd say it was funny. I appreciate funny more than anybody. Everybody is always telling me how funny I am. Just the other day, Consuela (my domestic) told me, "Senor Tigre, you so funny!" Based on this consensus, therefore, I am uniquely qualified to decide what is funny and what is not. And "War Chicken" is simply not funny. That settles this tiresome business that "War Chicken" is funny. That is because it isn't. Not that it bothers me if you say "War Chicken." It bothers me not a whit. I could care less if you spew such peevish and moronic claptrap. That merely proves that you are a demented fool. But if you insist on saying , "War Chicken;" I will continue to ignore you, just as I have heretofore. So cease and desist from embarrassing yourself by using such puerile jingoism. You only have yourself to blame for your marked decline in social standing. That will be your problem, not mine. I never dignify "War Chicken" with a response. That would imply that such boorish nonsense bothers me, which it most assuredly does not.
