Scoop 0 #10 January 1, 2006 QuoteWhat far them jump out of planes?' I have to say, I recognise it as a term, but what kind of example of use of the English language is that?! Id like to think it was something more like... Skydiver - 'I jump out of perfectly good aeroplanes' Non-skydiver - What for? <-- WHUFFO Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
