Silly site!
 

I've just done a Google search for the phrase "in onion there is strength" (a parody, of course, of "in union there is strength" &mdash; I think it was Abraham Lincoln who first said this), and one of the first results returned is <http://www.mistupid.com/people/page020.htm>, a page of schoolkid howlers apparently taken from real school essays! ;)

:D :D :D

The others are just as funny. :cool: :D

Check your dictionary
 

There is no such word as "schoolkid"

Pedantic, eh?

Mister, as I remember it "School" and "Kid" happen to be in the dictionary. Go back and take a look.

Now what Robert has done is to link two different unrelated words together to create a compound that becomes idiomatic in its meaning..... Still with me?

;)



Like this one, Robert:

:D :D :D :D

Good work prof,boy is my face red.Glad to see you're still awake.

;)

Re: Check your dictionary
 

There has been such a word since at least 1968, when London underground magazine OZ used it in describing one issue (which BTW was instantly banned as pornographic, or something); I think it already existed back then, so your dictionary is out of date. :p

Mind you, the word "mondegreen" has been in use for nearly 50 years, and to my knowledge has never yet appeared in any dictionary; so the non-inclusion in a dictionary is not proof that a word doesn't exist. :)

Check your logic!
 

Lack of proof is not itself proof (in particular, even the full Oxford English Dictionary &mdash; which is said to cost upwards of £3000 and require a lot of very sturdy shelf space &mdash; is unlikely to contain every word in the English language)...

From the logical fallacies thread.

Nice One!:cool:

It's a matter of propriety; the English language expects a lengthy engagement, chaperoned by a respectable hyphen.

The fact that they appeared together in a dirty book like Schoolkids Oz (without even an apostrophy to cover their shame) only makes matters worse.

Yes pretty hillarious!

Although I shouldnt talk.I cant do much better!!!!!!
