Gibberings CIII: A New Hope

have you never heard the expression 'near the mark before' knock?

I'm pretty sure PTCH's hat is better than Spade's.

I lost my hat in Edinburgh. Hopefully it's in my mate's bag, but seeing as I've also lost my phone (which may or may not be in the same bag) I haven't been able to find out.

Colossal cunt' is a bit OTT dont you think?

Actually, no. If anything it's not enough but it's the best I could come up with.

"Near the mark" to me would mean "almost right". Or maybe more so "correct, but in a way that shouldn't be said". Like, "You shouldn't have said that but you are right". I doubt that's what you meant though.

Near the mark means OTT.

It was aggressive and disrespectful.

Not in that context I haven't. (said Knock)

I'd say overstepped the mark.

It was true though.

 

[Marmalade]

You love being a Cunt tho PTCH. you've just brought us closer together

 

[Albion]

Tbh in the context of a Scotsman on a drugs forum it's not especially out of line to see 'cunt' aimed at someone. Or even 'colossal cunt', which deserves credit for alliteration if nothing else.

honestly, it's from a Cunt to a Cunt, it's not really an issue

'near the mark' means going too far to me.

I suppose "the mark" could be like "the line" which should not be crossed... OK. Please forgive me.

'Near the mark'?

Anything between ninety and ninety-nine pfennigs, back in the day.

 

[Albion]

Unless of course you're in the Great Depression.

 

[YellowPolkaDotHalo]

nvm Knock

Ah, the Rentenmark. How we miss thee.

Did you leave it at the house party? Infact, what party were you at? My mate had a party the same night...

 

[jancrow]

That was a good joke about pfennigs. It made me chuckle.

 

[YellowPolkaDotHalo]

They are a cracking pair of trainers though. I'm really into navy blue at the moment.

Possibly. I think it's more likely that my mate has it though. I was launching things in his bag so I didn't lose them lol, that worked out well. He was away when I woke up & I haven't spoke to him since. Chances are he just grabbed his bag & bailed without checking what was in it.

I was at a party in Leith. Folk I know, not just totally random. Unless they got married this year & have a white staffy then it wasn't the same party.

 

[knock]

Oh, fuck, new breaking bad episode today! %)
