If a woman were to yell RAPE it would get mostly ignored. She yells FIRE and gets help. OLD 20/20 program covered that indepth. -
Well, perhaps she has test anxiety? (It was only a TEST, after all.)
I'll bet she's just perfectly calm and rational in a real fire. (Yeah, who am I kidding?)I will not be pushed, stamped, filed, indexed, briefed, debriefed, or numbered. My life is my own. --#6Comment

Does nobody say "Head over heels" anymore?
As for the wannabe firefighter -- check your local laws; if he shows up again, you may have grounds to have him arrested. Where I am, at least, cops, firefighters, and school bus drivers are considered to be "enforcement officials," in that assaulting or impersonating one is a serious offense. Glad they banned him, he's lucky nobody got seriously hurt because of his "evacuation" o_O"For a musician, the SNES sound engine is like using Crayola Crayons.

I never really understood "head over heels" as a replacement for being sent tumbling. After all, your head is normally over your heels, right? Besides, "ass over teakettle" sounds funnier.Quoth EricKei View PostDoes nobody say "Head over heels" anymore?

I never cared much for that version. If you're just walking along or standing still, your head is already over your heels. It's when you fall down that the positions get reversed and you end up arse over teakettle (head).Quoth EricKei View PostDoes nobody say "Head over heels" anymore?I don't have an attitude problem. You have a perception problem.

Years ago, one of my friends started using "tits over teacups" which likewise didn't make sense to me, for varying values of teacupsQuoth Geek King View PostI never really understood "head over heels" as a replacement for being sent tumbling. After all, your head is normally over your heels, right? Besides, "ass over teakettle" sounds funnier. And he got me saying it!

You'll hear a bunch of stuff around here you probably haven't heard before. And before long, don't be surprised if you find yourself using some of those phrases.Quoth EricKei View Post
I haven't heard "ass over teakettle" before either but it is cute. I'm used to hearing "head over heels" around these parts myself.

The 'heels' version was used in a popular song (or two) by a popular group (or two) at one point. That makes it the default/standard ^_^ It's the LAW.Quoth Mr Hero View PostLast edited by EricKei; 02-09-2014, 08:09 PM."For a musician, the SNES sound engine is like using Crayola Crayons.
