You fucking God damn ignorant wanker. This quote is from post #15400 of this thread:Originally Posted by Koojo
And God damn your fucking sense of entertainment.According to the Oxford Dictionary, apart from "causing laughter", "Amusing" means : providing entertainment.
And that has also previously been my understanding.
Sensitive wee thing aren't you.
And I think Oxford have it wrong if they think anything that provides entertainment can be considered 'amusing'.
Perhap erring on the side of PC.
Dictionary.com describes it as
Notice how it does say entertaining but qualifies it as 'pleasantly' entertaining.amusing
[uh-myoo-zing]
adjective
1.pleasantly entertaining or diverting:
an amusing speaker.
2.causing laughter or mirth; humorously entertaining:
an amusing joke.
But in the context of this thread I consider it to be meaning 2.
I mean boxing provides entertainment but I doubt anyone would consider it 'amusing' or 'pleasantly' entertaining.
Well maybe sometimes.
Perhaps we should ask Diaw, the OP, whether he meant amusing in the sense of anything that provides entertainment or amusing in the sense of causing laughter or mirth, to be HUMOROUSLY entertaining.

“If we stop testing right now we’d have very few cases, if any.” Donald J Trump.
Amusing comes from the Middle French word amuser. The English word originally meant "to deceive by distraction." The more benign funny and enjoyable meanings didn't arise until much later.
But it seems that we have offended the sensibilities of Koojo, the forum's HUMOUR POLICEMAN.
I guess we have a wee bit, EH? But I understand the dog now. Please correct me, if I'm wrong. I've never met nor would I be offended to meet Koojo. In fact, I'd like to shake his hand with no hard feelings. I'm also proud to relate that I can't red him b/c it's too soon since the last green I gave him. And now I would rather give him another green. Very intelligent and to the point: I have no disagreement with his observations and conclusions. Take that for what it's worth. But at the risk of becoming the RESIDENT PSYCHOLOGIST, I understand the driving force behind his really good posts: he has to push buttons. Again, this is understandable. How many posters, nee Boon Mee, give you anything good to reply to? But do you notice how Stroller never intentionally does that and is prolly one of the most intelligent posters here? Maybe pushing buttons speeds matters up a bit, eh?Originally Posted by Latindancer
It does get a bit tedious. As far as I can see, this thread has pretty much always been amusing pictures in the sense of funny, humorous, rather than in the sense of "something to while away the time".
In the same way that the "quick jokes" is for, well quick jokes, not something that takes half a page.
But many people think they have a divine right to post things at odds with the intent of the thread. Don't understand it myself. I look at this thread because I want to see funny shit.

Seriously, why do you persist in posting pics that are not amusing - to use the common definition of the word.
Why not start a thread about 'Interesting' or 'Amazing' pictures ripped fro the net.
I see very little 'amusing' about an A-Bomb exploding, nor about the rest of your additions
