Duckets is a good word, my mate says 'duckets'. I don't really understand where the name comes from though.

Don remember, people can't receive things in the post if YOU forget to put the stamp on. :p

If you still want the Hendrix Canvas it is yours, just ACTUALLY send the cash. :p

I dunno, I first heard CJ say 'gimme dem duckets' in San Andreas. My usual word is 'coin'.

I thought you were going to make a departure from your wannabe Del Trotter persona there and offer it as a gift..after all the nights I've stayed up and regailed you with church stories..

I reckon your shifty Aunt staul it.

EDIT (BOLD): That's simply not true. Ask Mr.B9.

He ended up getting two anniversary presents! The one without the stamp arrived first :p
 
Don how do you always manage to forget to put stamps on the post your sending? It's pretty standard like. :\

Yes, I won't disagree - it's a fundamental part of the process 8)

It's because I plan to go up to the post office desk and ask them to send it. However, whenever it's closed I forget about the stamp and just slap it in the post box. One day I waited for the postie to come empty it, with a stamp ready to put it on. The miserable git wouldn't let me - told me he had a tight schedule to keep..

That didn't stop the gobshite from going and waiting in line to buy a pastie :\

I suppose I should stick with the them of the thread - and the sub theme that cherry controls:

Me when I was eight. Could have been last year for all the difference. Man, I had one fat ass head.

Ducats. The coin and its name were made popular first by the Venetian Republic, then Sicily and other European countries released their own versions eventually. Venice's primary motivation was to make a solid gold coin that could compete with the gold coins of France and England and China. And that would be accepted by anyone they encountered on their long trip to SE Asia and China

Ducats had to be made of gold and thus they were pressed with extreme attention to detail. More importantly, they held their value regardless of currency changes for buying in foreign countries. Thus they helped the Venetian traders to swop them for a fair amount of goods. Gold is gold.

I love finding out that current slang ("ducats") derives from old terminology, say from the 13th or 15th century. Something related"

Emcees/hip-hop lyricists often use the word "nice" to describe especially technical or masterful flows. When they use the word nice", they're not expressing the opinion that they think lyrics are "pleasant."

Rather they're using "nice" in the way that Chas. Dickens used it. "Nice" in 19th/early 20th century British English, was used to describe something that was crafted with extensive attention to detail.

That's how it's used in current American Black vernacular. "Nice" applies to lyrics or flow that are specific and well-crafted. (I'm not addressing most mainstream songs. That pabulum is lazy or just bad.)

But writers aspire to lyrics that are "nice", and they use the term frequently to refer to well-crafted, truth-telling lyrics or advanced syncopation or rhythm to make a song great. Too bad the record companies don't recognize or appreciate this.

You hear a bunch of terms from Dickens or Jane Austen frequently used in Black American vernacular. I wish I had more time while writing this post. I'm exhausted and need to go to sleep now.

I'll post some of them if I have the time: it's an eye-opener to see how many words and phrases of expression one hears in this day and age, perfectly match those used commonly in late 18thC. - late 19th century by Brits..

Sorry to derail the thread with a simplistic, quick explanation, but a couple of posters expressed curiosity about where the term "ducats" came from. So I thought I'd throw something into the mix.

peace and zzzz's, e.
