Re: [Audyssey] OT: WII in subject lines
Well what is even worse Jacob, is that wee, in British slang actually means urine, rather the same way pee does in America. So whenever I hear adverts for wee people talking about how much fun they're having with their wee, that people should really get a wee or even that wee is accessible Well as you can imagine they sound pretty funny! Nintendo really should've investigated that one first, though there were some amusing adverts that played on the fact when the wii came out, asking people if they needed a wee! Beware the grue!

Re: [Audyssey] OT: WII in subject lines
Well, here in South Africa, wee does also share that meaning, and suppose if you're scottish, then there's even another one - and you wonder why everyone's so interested in the wee things in life...?

Re: [Audyssey] OT: WII in subject lines
Hi Dark, Lol! I hadn't quite seen it that way, but you are right. Some Americans use Wee as slang for urination as well. Which reminds me of my high school French class. We were learning language basics and of course in French the word for yes is oui pronounced wee but spelled different. Naturally, after class a lot of us were joking around making crude jokes like, you got to pee? :Oh, wee, wee. Of course, we were saying yes in French, but because it sounded so much like American slang we could attribute double meaning to the word that wouldn't have been the case in French. It was a bit funny if a bit immature as well.

Re: [Audyssey] OT: WII in subject lines
Hi Tom. There was unfortunately a french aural test paper where you heard a dialogue in French then had to answer questions about it, that got to be rather infamous for that reason. one person would ask in french for a coca-coler, to which the next speaker replied in a very high pitched and rather childish voice. aah weee! Apparently the exam board had to recall the paper and change the tone of the response, sinse people just couldn't take it seriously! Though being as that paper would've been taken by a hole bunch of fifteen year olds doing their gcse's, they could've been more careful :D. Oh and yes, i know the french word isn't spelt like that, but I used that spelling to emphasize the tone. Beware the grue!

Re: [Audyssey] OT: WII in subject lines
Hi Dark, Lol! Yeah, I've been there. That's exactly the kind of thing we had in my Freshman French class because you couldn't get a bunch of 15 year old boys to take it seriously when saying certain words like oui that had a totally different meaning in English. We did as much joking in class as out of it, and I'm sure our teacher had seen it all before. On 2/7/12, dark d...@xgam.org wrote: Hi Tom.
