  • Let's go around the world in phrases...

    OK CS brains unite...

    Here's a little challenge I started a while ago-I'm sure we can add to it.You simply have to find phrases that include a nationality-either as an adjective-such as French kiss or Russian roulette or as the name of the country-Guinea pig or Lebanon cedar.How many countries can we cross off the list?

      1. Would you rather be right, or get the result you want?
      2. If you're consistently getting results you don't want, change what you do.
      3. Deal with the situation you have now, however it occurred.
      4. Accept the consequences of your decisions.

                              "Putting some English on it"
                              Sports term for putting some curve on a ball's trajectory.



                              If we're including cities in this, then I have two.

                              "Glasgow kiss"
                              A headbutt

                              "Glasgow smile"
                              A form of mutilation in which the victim's cheeks are cut outward from the edge of the lips toward the ears. The Black Dahlia, Elizabeth Short, was given one of these when she was murdered.
                              PWNADE(TM) - Serve up a glass today! | PWNZER - An act of pwnage so awesome, it's like the victim got hit by a tank.
