Discussion
DISCUSSION, n. A method of confirming others in their errors.
2008 Update: Reason as it emerges between two participants, such as a mule's hoof and a stump.
The word "discussion" can be used interchangeably with the word "fight." For example: Little Johnny asks his mommy if she and daddy are fighting. She replies, "No. Daddy and Mommy are just having a discussion."
It's not often I get to tell my mom to "stop talking" but her discussion was rambling and our waitress really didn't care. Said original discussion did send the cute restaurant manager (wow, he was hot!) scuttling away though he did return to take my broccoli away. True love or what? I mean he's good looking, employed at one of my favourite eateries and is involved with food. What a catch.
Wait...what was I originally discussing? I forgot.
discussion = Rant and Rave...Between a Rock and a Hard Place..........................Better red then Dead,,,some "discussions" never end...............
I'm first. End of discussion.
ReplyDeleteDiscussion: the blah, blah, blah that my companion rattles on about while I'm waiting for my turn to talk again.

ReplyDeleteFirst is first, TLP.
ReplyDeleteWhy should there be differing viewpoints, Amoeba? Ow!

Absolutely, Ariel. That's what I meant, actually.

Boy, there's plenty. Help yourself.
Actonbell, you will not!
JD, that reminds me of a lot of my first dirty jokes, too. I think I was raised sub-optimally.
There's the right definition, Cooper. Good job.
