Speaking of urban dictionary,

I read somewhere that someone had wrote the entire bible
using sms text language.

That must have been quite a feat.

Like gnarly dude.

yeah, right.

Urban Dictionary descibes it thusly:
Contrary to popular belief, gnarly dude, is not a description of a dude at all. It is an expression generally used after witnessing or otherwise perceiving through a third party any event that is impressive, unbelievable, extraordinary, or out of this world. The phrase is much more closely related to other phrases such as "wow", and "amazing", than to "That dude is gnarly".

I'm a bit late to the conversation...I was reading Shakespeare...

Seriously, I was beginning Shakespeare's last play, "The Tempest" and had made a comment aloud about his use of language and a particular derogatory term, namely "Hag-seed" in reference to a character...literally a son of a witch...when this thread appeared. Then the comment was made about Shakespeare's' little dick and I laughed because, being the pragmatist that he was, I thought Shakespeare would have too...("Of course it's wee; it's been shriveled almost 500 years, earth-topped..."😉...He was a genius and a pragmatist and didn't use words, even in the romantic sense, when they weren't appropriate, ala, my favorite sonnet, which gives a wonderfully realistic picture of his lover:

My mistress' eyes are nothing like the sun;
Coral is far more red than her lips' red;
If snow be white, why then her breasts are dun;
If hairs be wires, black wires grow on her head.
I have seen roses damasked, red and white,
But no such roses see I in her cheeks;
And in some perfumes is there more delight
Than in the breath that from my mistress reeks.
I love to hear her speak, yet well I know
That music hath a far more pleasing sound;
I grant I never saw a goddess go;
My mistress when she walks treads on the ground.
And yet, by heaven, I think my love as rare
As any she belied with false compare.

I didn't get what I expected, this thread quickly became an insults thread. Sorry folks, it wasn't intentional.
