I felt rudely offended by this post:
http://www.8052.com/forum/read.phtml?id=92713 And I asked the webmaster to kick out the poster because of using F*** word. He insistes that "F U" means "If You" Steve M. Taylor said:
original, innocuous post reads (apparently)
If you forgotten we hate SMS here Close, but no cigar. I made the original post, and it was based on a "Two Ronnies"[1] sketch from the seventies. The sketch parodied a language class, in which the dialogue was subtitled with text such as: for (to be read in a comedy fake-german accent). So, in this context, "F U" means "Have You" - and the true translation is, "Have you forgotten [that] we hate SMS here?" I think the question mark should have made it obvious that the 'F' word was not intended? Anyhow, my apologies if it caused offence. [1] "The Two Ronnies" were a major TV comedy act in England back in the Seventies. |
