It’s called subtlety, something you don’t often use when posting. I was making sure that my understanding of a phrase was the same as most peoples’ understanding of the phrase. I considered that maybe I was the one who was wrong. My question accomplished a couple of things.
- It reassured me that I had a correct understanding of the phrase.
- I caused someone to go back and re-read the phrase, and acknowledge that the phrase was misread.
- It allowed everyone to save some face.

I think your response probably would have been something like “ I said this to somebody, and they thought I called them a name – what an asshole! Cock!” I didn’t go there. You see it as a veiled stupid assed veiled question. I see it as getting my information in line before making an assertion.

If you had gotten your information in line, maybe you wouldn’t have called my thread stupid assed, and I wouldn’t have to explain it to you as though you were a second-grader. [/Bruce, Radar, Rk, Merc, UG]
