Really thou, chump has no appeal. I use either flat out jack arse, or dumb arse. But chump is too much for my 7th grader to use.

On the other hand, if the bumping vaskez is bigger, then of course it was your fault. But as large as we are, then any sub 300lb, 6'5" ft'r is still a jack!

Using my username as an insult? Woah thanks, I have more "fans" here than I realised!

And are you talking about youself in plural? Are you saying you're 300lbs 6'5" of lardarsedness?

Cos this Vaskez is "only" 200lbs and 6'3"!

Pfft... lightweight... [img]tongue.gif[/img]

I don't use chump... Idiot, dickhead, dumbass... etc...

Sir Degrader: Isn't 'arse' the same as 'ass'?

Vaskez · 02-24-2005, 07:53 AM

Yeah but not many people get over 200lbs without a lot of flab being calculated into it [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Arse is like the british version of ass, yeah the difference being that in england ass is a donkey whereas arse is only used to talk about someone's backside

S'what I thought... so why Sir D's comment? WHy does it matter if people think you mean what you do mean if you are trying to mean what you mean and they think you mean?

He's just saying that either people DON'T know that arse is ass, or that they DO know and that's why they're shocked cos ass is supposed to be insulting in america, from the sounds of it. In informal circles ass in britain is basically just humour, cos so many people have begun using it in the last 10 years after seeing american shows etc. It's not really insulting.

Ah right... Makes sense now [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Either people DON't know that arse is ass, or they DO know.

Thanks for clearing that up [img]tongue.gif[/img]

(I really do get it now [img]tongue.gif[/img] )

You're remarkably quick on the uptake

Isn't a chump just a smeghead by another name?

Well it could be said that the England Rugby team are 'World Chumps', as they won the world cup in 2003 and then have lost 8 of the last 12 games they've played since.

It's kinda a 1920's or 30's word. It started out British, as in "You're off your chump," as a synonym of head. Then its meaning changed slightly to mean "Stupid person."
