God you're tedious - you think this 'obnoxious superiority persona' you're currently displaying is new? It's been done time and time again on TK, everything you do and say has been done to death before ... yawn

I guess you await my response with 'baited' breath yes??? :laugh: I suppose when you go fishing, you use worms as 'bate'. :laugh:

BATED BREATH
[Q] From Steve Gearhart: “Where does the term baited breath come from, as in: ‘I am waiting with baited breath for your answer’?â€
[A] The correct spelling is actually bated breath but it’s so common these days to see it written as baited breath that there’s every chance it will soon become the usual form, to the disgust of conservative speakers and the confusion of dictionary writers. Examples in newspapers and magazines are legion; this one appeared in the Daily Mirror on 12 April 2003: “She hasn’t responded yet but Michael is waiting with baited breathâ€.
It’s easy to mock, but there’s a real problem here. Bated and baited sound the same and we no longer use bated (let alone the verb to bate), outside this one set phrase, which has become an idiom. Confusion is almost inevitable. Bated here is a contraction of abated through loss of the unstressed first vowel (a process called aphesis); it has the meaning “reduced, lessened, lowered in forceâ€. So bated breath refers to a state in which you almost stop breathing through terror, awe, extreme anticipation, or anxiety.
Shakespeare is the first writer known to use it, in The Merchant of Venice: “Shall I bend low and, in a bondman’s key, / With bated breath and whisp’ring humbleness, / Say this ...â€. Nearly three centuries later, Mark Twain employed it in Tom Sawyer: “Every eye fixed itself upon him; with parted lips and bated breath the audience hung upon his words, taking no note of time, rapt in the ghastly fascinations of the taleâ€.
For those who know the older spelling or who stop to consider the matter, baited breath evokes an incongruous image, which Geoffrey Taylor humorously (and consciously) captured in verse in his poem Cruel Clever Cat:
Sally, having swallowed cheese,
Directs down holes the scented breeze,
Enticing thus with baited breath
Nice mice to an untimely death. [I’m indebted to Rainer Thonnes for telling me about this little ditty, which appears in an anthology called Catscript, edited by Marie Angel. However, it was first published in 1933 in a limited edition of Geoffrey Taylor’s poems entitled A Dash of Garlic.]

suck it, fatty.

looks like I missed Starguard's landmark, wonder what it was... (i'd definately hit it though)

 

[starguard]

Yeaahh.... I'm Bad

 

[SaintLucifer]

suck it, fatty.

So the idiots admit their spelling of the word is incorrect but because there are so many morons in this world incapable of spelling society has decided to accept their spelling of it? This is your cover for your own idiocy? Incredible. Spoken like a true socialist who whines when he does not get his way. I bet you complain whenever your welfare cheque arrives late yes?

I challenge you to write 'bated' as 'baited' in a university thesis. Watch you get kicked out whenever you post that crap you just finished showing me. The professors will kill themselves laughing and say 'what a world, stupidity is not only forgiven but accepted as well'.

Is that the best everyone can do? Post a pic of a total stranger, then type 'owned' underneath??? Rather sad and funny at the same time. That pic proves to me the level of anger and hysteria I successfully created. 'Havoc' has proven to be my middle name. Natch.

if only it were a total stranger - man it must suck to be you and see that in the mirror every morning - and where the hell are your eyes, did you lose them on the way to hell?

The very fact everyone in the entire site claims that is a pic of me tells me you are all PWned. You display absolutely no proof whatsoever simply because one idiot in here makes a claim. Perhaps if said idiot decided to state if one jumps off Niagara Falls one will easily survive the plunge to the rapids below, would all of you follow his example? I thought so too.

The mere fact I am capable of angering an entire site replete with 'grown' men is rather frightening. It fills me with alarm since one can only imagine how you would all react if anyone managed to 'hurt your feelings' out there in the real world. It is my suspicion you have all experienced this feeling hence the reason you remain in the basement all of your lives. Did you not see the real photo I posted of ISHCABITTLE? Oh yes. That is him because his name is in the URL. I shall show you:

See? His name is displayed in the URL so it must truly be him.
