Cynical chick

[Julie]

I must humble request you remove your avatar. I find myself facinated by it and have several times been sucked into just watching it for several minuits at a time. :lecher:

Alternatly....could you please tell me where you got such a cool avatar?


*edited to add Oh Snap (http://houseohsnap.ytmnd.com/)








(Husband what husband? Oh that husband? :innocent: Naw he's off watching that Faith Hill chick....)

[cappuccino]

Hahaha, you're not the only one, I've been drooling over CC's avatar as well. Huge Laurie is such a sexy man, even when grouchy, limping, and going "Oh snap!"

[D. Scarlatti]

If you want him to remain sexy, I'd counsel against viewing Jeeves And Wooster reruns on PBS.

[Leesifer]

:giggle: @ Scarlatti! Too true. And BlackAdder the Third.

[cappuccino]

Oh shut up, let me indulge in my fragile fantasies ok will ya? :P

[livius drusus]

I thought the Prince Regent was kinda hot.

[Leesifer]

hoot! hoot! hoot!

[D. Scarlatti]

Well it could have been worse, he could have played the poncy salesclerk in Are You Being Served?

[Leesifer]

Well it could have been worse, he could have played the poncy salesclerk in Are You Being Served?

Which one?

[cappuccino]

Well it could have been worse, he could have played the poncy salesclerk in Are You Being Served?

:shudder:

[D. Scarlatti]

The guy with the spaces between his teeth.

[D. Scarlatti]

:shudder:

:laugh:

[Leesifer]

Could it be...

[D. Scarlatti]

Aye, that's the ponce alright. Ta much.

[Julie]

Ha Im so bad I was watching Stuart Little with my kids just to get more Hugh. I love him even when he's playing a stuffed shirt.

[ChuckF]

Could it be...

Are you free?

[godfry n. glad]

Okay... I'm clueless on this.

I know it's Huge Lorry as Dr. House, but it's the usage and context of what he's saying that escapes me. What the hell does "Oh, snap!" mean in the context?

I've heard "It's a snap," meaning something is easy.

Is he a Rice Crispies fan?

[godfry n. glad]

Aye, that's the ponce alright. Ta much.

Is a "ponce" the same as a "poofter"?

[Leesifer]

Could it be...

Are you free?

CaptainChuckFock! Why aren't you in chat?

[D. Scarlatti]

Is a "ponce" the same as a "poofter"?

Essentially, but I'd suggest "ponce" includes for a stronger presumption of effeminacy.

(Christ, can you tell I've been writing a legal brief all day?)

[Leesifer]

A ponce in Ingerland is someone who is always borrowing things.

Nowadays, anyway. I have no idea how the word started out.

[ChuckF]

Could it be...

Are you free?

CaptainChuckFock! Why aren't you in chat?
Been making my new avatar!

[ceptimus]

I thought a ponce was an effeminate guy - though not necessarily gay. I'm not familiar with the 'borrower' meaning.

[Leesifer]

Really, cep?

Perhaps it's an Essex thing. When someone is constantly borrowing things, particularly, money, they are called a ponce.

[cappuccino]

Been making my new avatar!

That avatar is so you. :bow:

[Legs]

Love CC's and now, ChuckF's!

[ChuckF]

Been making my new avatar!

That avatar is so you. :bow:
Thank you (I think) :thankee:

[Leesifer]

Been making my new avatar!

:squeezle:

[Beth]

CC, don't you dare get rid of it! Please!

[godfry n. glad]

So.... Nobody knows what the meaning of this "Oh, snap!" exclamation is, huh?

[cappuccino]

I vaguely remember seeing that episode where he said the "Oh, snap!" comment. It was just sarcasm pure and simple in response to what somebody said which I unfortunately cannot no longer recall.

[Beth]

I used to hear it in a rap song when I was a kid, it meant something like "Oh Shit!". I thought it was cool, so did my friends. I have used it most of my life, I think.

[Beth]

Well, I'll be doggone! I was right. Thanks!

[Beth]

http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=snap
Well, I'll be doggone! I was right. Thanks!Only thing is, I don't think I ever heard the song that they listed as starting the song. Maybe it (the phrase) was already common by the time I heard it.

Edit, I have, I just looked at the lyrics. But it still isn't the song I used to listen to.

[Shake]

OK, what's wrong with this picture? A whole thread about a certain poster and that person has yet to grace this thread with her presence. What's up with that?

[godfry n. glad]

Thanks, Julie.

You sure it's not: http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=oh+snap ?

Learning sumpin' new every day.

I know, fucking ungrateful biatch!

[godfry n. glad]

OK, what's wrong with this picture? A whole thread about a certain poster and that person has yet to grace this thread with her presence. What's up with that?

Yeah, well she's almost superfluous by now.

[Shake]

Yeah, but you know, I had to like, go to a whole 'nother thread to find this avatar and see what the big deal was.

[godfry n. glad]

Wazzamatter, Shake? The link Julie provided not good enough for you?

It sure seems like the "Oh, snap!" exclamation is a euphemism for "Oh, crap!"

[Anastasia Beaverhausen]

Perhaps because she was busy all day...?

Community for the show (http://community.livejournal.com/house_md)
Comm for icons (http://community.livejournal.com/houseicons)

I shouted "Oh SNAP!" quite a few times during this week's episode. But I knew the term before House used it.

[Julie]

Saddly I missed this weeks episode. Damn hubby took over my TV....

And again Im sucked in to that av. Its mesmerizing.

[Anastasia Beaverhausen]

I know! I stare at it too!

[MooseIBe]

Who is it? He's very easy on the eye.

[viscousmemories]

He's Hugh Laurie (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0491402/), Master of all he Surveys.

[godfry n. glad]

He's Hugh Laurie (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0491402/), Master of all he Surveys.

AKA "Huge Lorry" to wags hereabouts. You don't know him? I thought he'd be, like, a staple on Brit TV. He's actually a relatively recent addition to USer TV, although he's been coming through on various BBC imports on our public broadcasting system (PBS). Between "Jeeves and Wooster" with Stephen Fry, and "A Bit of Fry and Laurie" and innumerable "Blackadder" programs, I thought he'd be quite recognizable o'er in the isles.

[MooseIBe]

I know the name but I am terrible with faces .. people tend to look alike to me :(

[Shake]

Yeah, but you know, I had to like, go to a whole 'nother thread to find this avatar and see what the big deal was.

Wazzamatter, Shake? The link Julie provided not good enough for you?
Actually, it wasn't, 'cuz it wouldn't load for me before.

[Anastasia Beaverhausen]

Howzzis?

[Julie]

hahaha I think this one is even better! God I love house and I love you for putting him up as your av!

[Anastasia Beaverhausen]

Heehee! Thanks!
