Heh. I wouldn't mind if that slang caught on. In fact, they already refer to a condom as a "jimmy hat" (and, obviously, if a condom is a "Jimmy hat", then a "Jimmy" must be whatever the hat covers, right?) so, if I were as thin-skinned as you, I'd be on top of my roof with a bullhorn protesting the phrase! Instead, I could care less. Hell, *I* say "jimmy hat" some times myself!
However, since I am so lighthearted and am willing to accept your proposed use of the word (name) "Jimmy", I'd like to offer a proposition of my own. Since the word "gay" is so offensive, I propose that we start using "enzo" to mean "homosexual" instead of the word "gay"! Don't feel bad though, I do have some enzo friends so it isn't like I'll dislike you just because you're enzo. The funny thing is, the enzo people that I do know, and am friends with, use more derogatory slang words for "homosexual" (jokingly, of course) than most heterosexuals that I know. It really is somewhat comical. I guess it isn't so derogatory when the person using the slang words is actually an enzo themselves.
Eh, whatever. You're a bit too uptight for public forums. Do you play pool or do you just hang around pool forums with your panties pre-knotted waiting for someone to offend you?
man, you are so pitiful, and the most pitiful thing is you don't even know it.
first off, you used my own insult on you to insult me (proposing enzo = homosexual), i guess, as they say, imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.
second, considering your insult, you have no idea of what the argument is about, the offensive usage of gay means "bad" or "stupid" or "worst"..... remember (even though I say this is inappropriate usage)?? not just homosexual as you have indicated above. this all coming from somebody who thinks they "don't need to think anything over," obviously you have followed this mantra all your life, and it shows. you can't even think of your own insult.
i do play pool, but i have been busy doing other things in my life (namely thinking and learning, something very foreign to you i know) and don't have the skills or ability of a "known" player such as yourself. I would gladly step up and accept the 6 ball from you as someone indicated (does that person want to back jimmy???), or did he say the 5??? either way, that would be a go for sure. and this IS NOT just forum talk, i can assure you i am quite serious. wouldn't it be great to beat me giving me the 5??? maybe even the highlight of your pitiful life.
in any case, if that's too much, give me an offer. the information you have to go on is this (and I will guarantee all this, ie, i wont jimmy you, it's all the truth): 1) you will not recognize me, ie, im not some recognizable champion waiting to demolish you 2) you have a name and people know you play like a strong short-stop or whatever, i have no name and no recognition 3) i have been in school for 8 of the past 10 or so years
considering the above i obviously need a spot. so, the question is, you can't beat a nobody, no-name pool player that has been in school for 8 years without giving him a handicap??? you see, it's easy for a stupid pool player (not necessarily you) to just mindlessly say "well, lets play some" every time an argument starts. Jimmy, THIS DOESN'T MAKE YOU RIGHT. Do yourself a favor and realize that, as most good players can't or don't (can't for you probably a bit more appropriate).
so, again, i will guarantee the information i gave you is correct (ie, you wont be jimmied). considering all that, i obviously need a spot, offer me something and i'm all ears.
alternatively, we could go to a scholar (like a professor at U of A for example) that we both agree upon and ask him who is right about the appropriateness of the usage of the word "gay." and we could bet all you want on this, as long as we put the money up so nobody gets jimmied. i'm sure this alternative wont sound appealing to you since it doesn't involve a pool table and there will actually be an intelligent, rational person deciding things. i want a handicap from you in the pool, and since you are obviously handicapped in the brains department i feel it only fair to give you a "spot" in this scenario, i'll offer you 2 to 1 on the money.
