    Allright, last night at work I was shooting the breeze with a friend because our que was absolutely nothing (hell, 65 rep's available). Anyway, we we're swapping jokes back and forth, and one of the TL's (Team Leaders) comes over, listens in for a bit, and in retort to a joke I commented "Smeg that must have hurt." Unfortunately for me, that particular TL was british, and reported me to HR (human resources) stating that I had used "slanderious language." :rolleyes: Anyway, I have been officaly labeled an HR Issue by management, yay me!




    Another useless bit of information provided to you by somebody you don't care about :thumb:

    I would have thought "smeg" is recognised more widely in Britain as a joke than it is in Canada.

    Red Dwarf and all that...

    it surprises me though, brits are probably the most foul mouthed bunch of people (or is that race? ;)) on the planet.

    Short for smegma...

    from "Merriam-Webster Medical Dictionary"

    ": the secretion of a sebaceous gland; specifically : the cheesy sebaceous matter that collects between the glans penis and the foreskin or around the ******** and ***** minora"

    Edit if its a bit too strong...

    smeg·ma (smgm)
    n.

    A sebaceous secretion, especially the whitish cheesy secretion that collects under the prepuce of the penis

    to be fair: some funny looking person with pointy headphones talking about knob cheese might annoy me too :hehe:

    First, how does that sentence make sense? Second, how is it slanderous?
