Hey Homer, you never explained to the "cattalxy crew" why you seriously thought Skan Ki Ho was a "Chinese warlord's mistress", rather than Mark Latham calling Janet Albrechtsen a "dirty street hooker".
ReplyDeleteSeems like you learned your history through the 'Speed Learning' brainwashing the ALP stole from the plot of The Prisoner.
Hey Homer, Was it his wife or mistress. I forget.
ReplyDeleteI did a number of times but unfortunately they were too think to understand
ReplyDelete"I did a number of times but unfortunately they were too think to understand"
ReplyDeleteTHEY WERE TOO THINK TO UNDERSTAND
Of course.
too thick.
ReplyDelete*People who didn't know how to use the internet to get definitions used in history.
*Jason Soon put his foot in his mouth one time by producing a comment I made at the time.
*I said there were 5 definitions in the Urban dictionary.
*I also said Latham had no idea of what the term meant. This was confirmed in his diaries as well but of course no-one but no-one would take this as evidence!
http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=skanky%20ho
ReplyDeleteThere are but 3 definitions in the urban dictionary, none of which pertain to a Chinese warlord's mistress.
Recant.
Mark, you really should get some-one to tell about the internet.
ReplyDeleteThere were 5 definitions when I made the comment hence no-one ever questioned that at the time.
Urban dictionary is not like an ordinary dictionary.
It merely gives you the current definition.
you have provided perfect proof of the Catallaxy mind!
Err, Hmoer, urban ditinary has as many defenitions as possible so the ycan generate revenue on there merchandice. somone with a MBA should know that! shouldn't they?
ReplyDeleteIt has as many definitions as they need but it is up to date unlike a normal dictionary
ReplyDeleteYou blundering idiot Homer. You're still not defending that horrendous crap you tried to pull.
ReplyDeleteThe Internet is great at exposing ignorance.
ReplyDeleteWe now have here listed ignorance of how urban dictionary operates.
How any sane person would expect a definition in early 2000s to be still on there now exposes this.
However I have repeatedly told said people how Urban dictionary works so one has to ask why the continued ignorance.
Probably aspergers.
Right...and you're probably full of crap, Homer.
ReplyDelete"How any sane person would expect a definition in early 2000s to be still on there now exposes this.
ReplyDeleteHowever I have repeatedly told said people how Urban dictionary works so one has to ask why the continued ignorance."
So why did the definition of an allegedly historical figure change in the last nine years?
Please retire, Homer. Think of the children.
Mark,
ReplyDeleteAre you that think you do not understand how Urban dictionary gets their definitions and why they constantly change?
They don't change Homer. They are compiled. You are still lying and you still defend Mark Latham over a comment he regrets and he has moved far to the right of you.
ReplyDeleteYou are lying. Admit to your dishonesty and stupidity if you have any sense of shame.
Yes it changes all the time.
ReplyDeleteYou have aspergers
Explain how it changes Homer.
ReplyDeleteI put it to you they compile as many definitions as possible.
Please tell us the alternative, how you think it works.
Maybe you should email the editors to prove that urban dictionary really did define "Skan Kee Ho" as a "Chinese warlord's mistress".
Then you could clear your name from this disgrace.
Mark, I have already told you this
ReplyDeleteProduce some evidence of a deletion log. GO!!!
ReplyDeleteStop picking on Homer.
ReplyDeleteIt changes constantly like wikipedia.
ReplyDeleteyou really are slow on the uptake.
Produce some evidence of the deletion log where Skanky Ho had the "Chinese warlord's mistress" definition deleted.
ReplyDeleteGO!!!
Go away Mark, you are embarassing yourself.
ReplyDeleteif you wish to make comments at least make an attempt to understand the topic.
Produce some evidence.
ReplyDeleteGO!!!
go away you have been told what happens.
ReplyDeleteYou have explained the general process, even though deletions are very rare.
ReplyDeleteYou still have not cleared your name of any wrong doing.
The deletion log should exist. Please produce evidence of it.
Mark,
ReplyDeleteYou are a fool.
Jason Soon produced comments by me in ,I think, 2001, where I said there were 5 definitions. please note no-one produced evidence to contradict me then because there wasn't any.
The onus isn't on me it is on you.
It isn't hard to go back into history and find out what was on a website on a certain day of any year.
"Jason Soon produced comments by me in ,I think, 2001, where I said there were 5 definitions. please note no-one produced evidence to contradict me then because there wasn't any."
ReplyDeleteYou cannot even get the date right so why should we believe you?
"It isn't hard to go back into history and find out what was on a website on a certain day of any year."
True.
http://web.archive.org/web/20110814033340/http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=skanky%20ho
No evidence can be found of "five definitions of Skanky Ho with one as a Chinese warlord's mistress"
You are lying.
You silly old fool.
Mark ,you are only showing you do not understand the internet.
ReplyDeleteAnother subject to add to all the others
You made an assertion.
DeleteYou could not back it up with any evidence.
I searched the relevant webpage.
There was no corresponding evidence to support your position.
Now please explain why you are not lying, or why the evidence cannot be produced.
Leave Homer alone!
ReplyDeleteyou haven't Mark you are not capable of it indeed you have no idea how Urban Dictionary operates.
ReplyDeleteyou are an embarrassment
Just answer the questions Homer and explain why you cannot produce the evidence.
DeleteAdmit you were lying and shilling for Latham whom you were in love with.
The only person lying around here is you.
ReplyDeleteI have firm evidence on my side but you ,as usual, have nothing.
