From my "It's about time" department...
Today, I went to Wikipedia, and looked up "Fucking A!"

I've always wondered what it meant...


And now I know.


That is all.


You may resume your normal Lounge posting...

:P

Howya, Peggy?


Today I learned that maraschino cherries are so named because they were originally only made from Marasca cherries, and so therefore should be pronounced mar-uh-SKEE-no.

The end.

9. Yes! But only if *I* want to do it...
if it's someone else's idea then it feels too much like work. ;)

3. So I had to look
Didn't find it on Wiki but did in the Urban Dictionary with a couple of variation of the etymology. I love word (and phrase) origins. What a dork I am! :P

12. You just cracked me up again.
Edited on Sat Aug-02-08 10:28 PM by redqueen
I was reading the titles of that band's other songs, for who knows what reason (boredom, it's boredom):


"I'm Interested in Apathy"
"I Don't Want TISM, I Want a Girlfriend"
"Greg! The Stop Sign!!"
"Shut Up - The Footy's On The Radio"
"Honk If You Love Fred Durst"
"Everyone Else Has Had More Sex Than Me"

(Those cracked me up first.)

15. We used to say that all the time when I was in college.
Edited on Sat Aug-02-08 11:22 PM by notmyprez
It became one of those constantly used words/phrases among my group of friends for a time. One night a group of us were in a bar getting wasted. Some band was playing and we were all yelling "fucking a" throughout the show. Finally the band said, before a song, "This is for the fucking a's out there." :rofl:
