when did woofing, become wolfing?
- Thread starter nineballsafety8
- Start date
Just wait until you find out that the California Angels changed their name and the Rams moved away.Then again, you may not care if you're not in.. "SoCal". :shrug:
Yep, I seen that.
no one I know though has ever used wolfing. only seen it here. I think that its one of those things like when you mishear the words to a song and go through life singing the wrong words.
Hahaha I think it was 2:57 and it was eastern standard time
on woofing, wolfing, bimmers, beemers, dampers and dampeners
I blame yuppie scum and Websters 3rd Int'l Dictionary.
This is a rant.
When the BMW became the commute car of choice in Redmond WA, the coding mavens who brought you the Blue Screen of Death misappropriated "beemer",
a term previously applied only to BMW vehicles having three or fewer wheels.
This rancid usurpation continues to this day. As one whose first BMW was an
R75/5, I object.
Similarly," dampener " is gradually replacing the perfectly good "damper" in commercial as well as common speech.
We all know that a "damper" functions to control or lessen, like smoke in a fireplace or a wheel whose compressed spring would otherwise rebound uncontrolled.
And "dampeners" function to make wet or moist like dew and grass or Clooney and panties.
In his book "The Big Book of Beastly Mispronunciations", Elster lays much of the blame for this trend on the editors of the dictionary noted above.
They abandoned prescriptive for descriptive. If something was seen in print or heard in speech it could make the final editorial cut.
Whatever, it's all good, I could care less.

Woofing looses it's meening when prenunciated wolfing. There not the same words. Woofing ...insessant barking. Wolfing...mostly grouling and showing teath or eating reel fast with your mouth open and spitting out a lot of fud. I seen this many times...but dont agree that its cool.
To OP..maybe wolfing is woofing done by a big dog barking?
I understand your frustration with word useage and meanings evolving or being bastardized, I feel the same way about 'Cali'...I've lived in California 64 years..just finding out that apparently it is known as 'Cali'. Sonofagun.
But then, gotta let the small sh1t go.
Move to a 4 letter state like Utah, there'll be no problem
This is brilliant satire.
remember when 'Merc' meant Mercury?
Now it either means Mercedes......or some badass with an Uzi.

Do you sell woof tickets or wolf tickets? Whats the correct phrase? Yes they are derivative
My old Viking when measured on my calibrated hit-o-meter hits at exactly 233 lbs 6 ounces , its lost some of its hit in 30 years used be a solid 1/8 ton hitter
Amazing new product!
Hello all. I’ve got a fine product to sell to compliment all of those cues that hit a ton. Its called the Primative Tip and it is a single layer of leather hand selected from only the left butt cheek of the golden lion tamarin. There is transition material between the tip and the ferrule utilizing a paper thin wafer of salt cured whale choad. This tip’s chalk holding tenacity is without rival due to my staff of midget Tibetan monks hand weaving individual strands of human hair from the very head of Miley Cyrus into the tip to form a chalk grabbing surface like no other.
Best yet is the price, which is a mere 2.99 for the tip + 99.99 for shipping and handling.
Orders will be routed through Kevin Trudeau’s prison cell. Order fast, as this offer is available only while supplies last!

IDK, a wolf barks and growls louder and more ferociously than a dog does. Wolves are a bit larger and probably a bit more savage than your ordinary pooch.
Could it be in their infinite wisdom, the morphers (my word) actually knew this and used "wolfing" to accurately describe a more serious session of "woofing"?

That move KT learned with the free books-just pay shipping and HANDLING was so Fn profitable. What's the sense of returning a free book?
I heard him say on one commercial straight faced-he didnt make one penny off his book, he was just trying to get the word out to help people!

That's because "Wolfie" at the Rack used to really "wolf" so they started calling it that:wink:.
