'deal breaker'

frankly, I have an issue with any kind of synergy (happily, not abused in photographic context)...do you feel my pain?
 
God, yes, on the 'buttery smooth', and 'minty'. Hate hate hate.

Also, [no offence to those of you who prefer these diabolical idioms :)] but, I'm filled with hate for 'souping' film, and shooting with 'glass'. There's absolutely nothing wrong with _developing_ film, that you've shot using a camera with a _lens_ atttached.

Hmmmm....filled with hate, I've learned something new today :D
Hate with no real reason is desctructive emotion. One can not like something, but hate (especially with a passion) burns out people.

What, I've started to evangelize? Better for me to pick a glass, go out to shoot some film and later soup it :angel:

hey larry,
what does mashup mean?

Glad you asked, Dean.
Mashup is what web developers (at first) call websites that pull information from other sources and serve it to the user seamlessly.

It is literally 'a mash up of various sources' but it's now so overused because the marketing folks got the wind and ran with it.

Kinda like 'bokeh' for us photographers.

Stuff and nonsense! Everyone knows that it's an Australian abbreviation for the infraclass to which Kangaroos belong, as in... "that bloody mashupial just stole me tucker!"

:D

Few things, however, insult me as using the term no problem to equate a simple yes, particularly when the response is delivered by a service person or waiter / waitress.

I get this all the time from store workers, clerks, waitresses, counter people.
They start talking to me fast and low, and I say "Please slow down, I'm deaf
and have to read your lips", then they say "Oh, no problem" - AND THEY SIMPLY STOP TALKING TO ME ! -
if it's a waitress or waiter they turn to my wife :confused: and say (slowly and clearly ) "What - does - he - want - to - eat".

Anyway "No problem" for me is usually followed by some stupid "solution" to the "no problem".
 
There used to be a programme on BBC Radio 4 about disability issues called 'Does He take Sugar?' because of just that phenomenon.
 
Indulge me one more petty irritant: the disappearance of the infinitive "to be," as in "This thread needs edited." Even the journalists here in West Virginia do this...in headlines!

I'm guessing the wife is more or less from the Pittsburgh area?

Both the dropping of 'to be' and the random appearance of an 'r' in 'wash' (though it usually mutates to 'worsh') are classic indicators of Pittsburghese.

"Yinz need ta red up this haas an' the car needs worshed before the company gets 'ere!"

(You (plural) need to tidy up the house and the car needs to be washed before the company arrives.)
 
found this on facebook this morning...
