hat trick is a sports reference for doing something three times in a row. unless you’re just trying to be clever about not know what it is. if so, hats off to ya.
I thought this page was for real puns, for putting creative twists to words but things like this are just lame. “Oh, here’s a word that sounds remotely close to something else, let’s make a pun with it.”
English is so full of this, and you don’t even feel embarrassed about exploiting it in every zombifyingly mind-numbing way possible.
agreed. his squawking is really falling on deaf ears. If he had a bird’s eye view of the flock that follow this site, he’d realize that he should be flying his arrogance elsewhere.
The funniest thing is that I’d never think that the “english language” needed defending (what are you, the grammar police? a grammattorney? My old highschool english teacher?), and if it ever did, you could find so many different places to rant about that than here that’s even more worthy of it. Just look at a single rap song and you’ll find countless grammatical errors that seem to “exploit” the english language. People that don’t like it don’t listen to the song. You don’t like the funny stuff here? well no one forced you to see them. Don’t let the cyber door hit you on the ass on the way out.
Oh, this is embarrassing. Did I give you the impression that I was _defending_ the English language? Heck, I’m not even a native speaker, and boy am I ever thankful for that.
No, fire away your puns at your hearts’ content. Some of them are actually ingenious, like the earlier posts “Classic Rock”, “Thesaurus” or “Lost Ctrl”. Puns just for the pun’s sake like this hawkward thing and most of the comments at this site though … ah well, I guess it’s a cultural thing.
This guy must think we're all a bunch of birdbrains. He comes on here with
a name indicative of an inclination to pry things apart, insults everyone here,
and when they flame him for it he claims it's a cultural barrier. An ESL troll is still
a troll. Plenty of his own countrymen would probably like to wing him away too.
Would you say, it was…. “hawkward” instead of embarrassing? maybe it was “embirdassing?” Thanks, but I don’t think we ever needed your permission to keep being silly. I understand your desire to regulate what you believe would be quality material for this site, but everyone is entitled to their own opinions and abilities to try to be ingenious. Something you may think is witty may be dull for another person. If the regulars here try their best to make the most fun out of something they think is funny (or punny), who are you to judge them? In general, this is the website culture: Fun for all, and all for Pun!
Why would it be “embirdassing”? And if it is the case, I don’t understand how substituting a topic-related but otherwise non-contributive word for a series of letters within “embarrassing” that happen to form a word on its own, just because both strings form a juxtaposition of both my moniker’s latter part and said non-contributive word, is supposed to be important enough to mention it.
As for the trolling: Crap, I should have said “you sound”, not “you are”. Opinions good. Insults bad.
smart sounding Crowbar uses big words to try to impress people…. yeah… sorry… doesn’t really work here, buddy… i think it’s time you flew this coop and tried winging it another time….
It would be "embirdassing", Crowbar, because it is a bird pun, and because
we are trying to keep the flow while you take up an awful lot of space which
could be happily filled with wordplay by giving your ridiculous rants. And that's
where you're messing up - this is word*play*, and you are far too serious to
enjoy it. Using big words and high concepts does not, in fact, reflect an
understanding of a language, and you have already expressed your disdain
for English for whatever reasons. My feeling is that you are uncomfortable
with sound-alike and similarity play and perhaps idiomatic usage in general,
and thus don't understand why we are enjoying ourselves, which is fine.
Overcompensating for your own lack by being a snob is not fine... at all.
Punning is all about the kind of linguistic re-positioning that you dislike.
I seriously think you would be happier somewhere else, where you can enjoy
more literal and erudite interpretations.
Of course……you’ll notice his name is…….
*snicker*
*snort*
CROW bar!!!!!!
Get it??? CROW………BAR??????
Guess he’s just a RAVEN Lunatic!!!
*snicker*
*snort*
(Please forgive my lame-a-ninity Mr. Bar!!)
I don’t really like the dead animal puns, but I’m even more tire-d of people like Crowbar trying to flatten out everyone’s playtime. It’s just jacked up. If you lugs want to go nuts and be falcon goofy, why should he care?
If anyone sees this cŏck crossing the road, you know what to do. :p
i guess this would be a Failcon?
Ironically, the pet bird was for the birds…
Steven would be proud of this bird….
Three puns in a row?! Hawk trick!
sorry… don’t know what that is…. never been a fan of Hawk-ey….

i’m a bird brain
Man, that bird is quite a Thrasher.
bird ON prey
there has to be a claws in the handbook about this kind of job-related injury…

If there’s any hope at all of saving the little one, he’s going to need a lot of tweetment, STAT!
When such a faux pas like this is made the results can be un-beak-oming.
*in Tweety Voice* and wewationships can become a weetle stwained…
That’s some fowl play.
*facepalm* don’t invite the chickens into this…. we’ll all end up being hen-pecked, and some people get overly cocky…
*facepalm* don’t invite the chickens into this…. we’d all end up hen-pecked, ans there are those who(who) can get a little c0cky
and apparently i’m turning into a parrot…
What a mocking bird!

You’re not creative, you’re lame.
Wow dude…..
You have a real Talon for passive-agressiveness.
(Oops, sorry – was that considered lame????)
It’s sort of like going onto a kid’s playground as an adult and telling all the kids “wow, like all this playing is lame, not fun!!
Find a less annoying site or learn to embrace silliness – the folks here are kids at heart!!
agreed. his squawking is really falling on deaf ears. If he had a bird’s eye view of the flock that follow this site, he’d realize that he should be flying his arrogance elsewhere.
eh… blue jays are always like this…
Yes, I agree as Silliness is the last refuge of the damned
*troll alert* hide your fun.

A crow flew into a bar … bah dun dunt…

Maybe his ranting will crow on you. lol, lameaninity. “how dare you violate the english language like that!” I’m sure he would Bar-k.
eh.. i think he has a few screws loose….
Well, he does warrant the Booby Prise…..
I don’t really like the dead animal puns, but I’m even more tire-d of people like Crowbar trying to flatten out everyone’s playtime. It’s just jacked up. If you lugs want to go nuts and be falcon goofy, why should he care?
I know what to do…..
Send his arse to Carcass, Venezuela!!!!

that was just a wayward pun…
