[xRyokenx]

Hahahahahaha, that's sooo messed up.

[luciusad2004]

I'm not sure i even find this story believable. I've never played a game that would actually let me use that sort of language. I could be wrong though. Either way, I think this is awesome.

[Ichbin]

I love it when life pans out so well.

ROFL, by Seaman's he means boat folk, sailors. This is a bloody hilarious article. Scrabble FTW haha.

I feel sorry for the kid though, having a pink DS and all hahahaha.

[FuzzyPlushroom]

I know, but it's pronounced the same way! :D

[The boy 4rm oz]

Just clarifying lol.

[luciusad2004]

Lol we have a tire shop around here that is called something along the lines of seman tires or something similarly close to the word that it sounds like. I always joke when we drive by. I think there motto should be "sticks to the road."

[The boy 4rm oz]

HAHAHA, that is hilarious. As long as they work lol.

Kumho? I always get a kick out of Kumho. As in "Swallodat".

Actually for extra lulz, they sell that brand and advertise it right underneath their sign.

Nope. Seamen has a pause between the syllables. Be careful about that pause when you use those words... ;) If you're going around called seamen semen you're gonna get press-ganged, or something worse! ;)

It's easier just to say "sailors", mind. :) Unless, of course, you're making the old submarine joke.

[xRyokenx]

Yeah, I was going to say "sailors'" but I decided it was funnier this way. And look at the discussion over it that I started! Hehehewuahahahaha. :banana:

Absolutely ****ing true.

Which reminds me ... There was a kids TV show that fell prey to "urban myth" that the characters had rude names: "Seaman Staines", "Master Bates" and "Roger, the Cabin boy".

There was no one in the show called seaman anything and the cabin boy was called tom. Two British newspapers were successfully sued for printing this as fact. The Master was called "Master Mates".

However if you listen too an original soundtrack of Captain Pugwash addressing "Master Mates" it is not hard to see where the myth came from:

Capt'n Pugwash certainly does not sound like he is saying "Master Mates" in that clip!

"Roger, the Cabin boy"

...I don't get it. o0

[Crazy Buddhist]

...I don't get it. o0

Well in England we even have slang words for our slang words.

"roger" is synonymous to a word starting with the letter f that means to have sex with someone.

Ahh, lol.

[moon111]

It's called a homonym. Oh the irony.

I mentally cringe whenever I say it because I'm afraid someone's gonna be a jerk and try to be funny. lol

[theshoeshineman]

I think the kids going to hear more profanity having a pink DS than he'll learn from the scrabble game.

You asked for a mixed salad. Otherwise if the waiter doesn't like the look of you, he may well toss in your salad.
