You know you're cool when you start debating the various meanings of selective grammar on a rap site.

How so?

Kung Fu Panda is a dope movie, loved by people of all ages. And as far as the pedo joke goes, it's not the joke I find classic as much as it is the person who made it. Saying something like that is just classic Colby, and the fact that he doesn't give a fuck what anyone thinks about him when he makes those jokes is just funny shit.

But people can go ahead and try to turn that against me. I love the attention I get when I make just a single post on this site.

"A man-eating shark" is a shark that eats men.

"A man, eating shark." is a man that eats a shark.

Are you too fucking stupid to realise this?

It has double meaning unless you punctuate it correctly.

Nice try to seem clever bitch face

ichaboy 11-03-09 09:49 AM

Basketball Player and basket ball player is also ambiguous unless you punctuate it correctly.

you can be a person who plays basketball or you can be an insane ball player (LIKE A BASKET-CASE. OMG, BASKETCASE LOL) or you can be a basket who plays ball or you can imagine that either only the word basket, or only the word ball exists, before player, and you can be a basket player or a ball player!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1


its all about the punctuation aint it ???????///////////////

ichaboy 11-03-09 09:51 AM

but in all honesty, I'm just a ball playing basket here. Sorry for the invoncenienve.

JTR 11-03-09 10:05 AM

there's no such thing as playing basket unless you want to imply that there is which is fantasy and in that case, you'd be right, and there could be a ball playing basket. Playing basket would be whatever your imagination states that to be I guess =/

If you say "I saw a dog-eating chicken" then you're implying you saw a chicken that can eat a dog unless you say "I saw a dog eating chicken" which you're then implying you saw a dog which was eating chicken.

It's all in the grammar man.

So if you said "I saw a ball playing basket" the you're implying you saw a ball playing basket, whatever you want playing basket to mean.

If you say "I saw a ball-playing basket" then you're implying you saw a basket which can play ball.

If you're writing a story about a magic basket that has the ability to play a game called "ball" in a fantasy world, that would be plausible and make perfect sense.

You dig me?

ichaboy 11-03-09 10:24 AM

And to some places of the world that are no where near the ocean, and especially societies secluded from places with sharks, the thought of a man eating a shark is fantasy.

JTR 11-03-09 10:33 AM

Agreed. In that case they wouldn't have the knowledge available to write "man eating shark" or "man-eating shark" lol.
