I will keep an eye on Albert; I fear he can say things he should not say.

Simple things are harder to be done.

Now that I said silly-non-sense words, I feel better.

timothymh

Hey everyone.

Cerberus

Hey.

@KitFox He said better.

He went to the doctor, had an MRI made, and it is a minor fracture in his vertebra.

It seems to be "nothing to worry about".

timothymh

I'm trying to ask a question, but I can't figure out how to phrase it. I want to say something like "Is there a word or term for when a word is interrupted by an interjection, such as 'abso-freaking-lutely'?" but that's obviously a bit sub-par.

David Wallace

No, I don't think that's sub par. I think that's a perfectly clear question. I wish I knew the answer.

timothymh

You sure?

Cerberus

12:08 AM

I think it's fine, but I also think it might be a duplicate.

timothymh

@Cerberus sigh Of course it's a duplicate.

David Wallace

It's a dupe.

Cerberus

I would call it an infix, but I think there is a better word.

Q: What is it called when an interjection is inserted inside another word?

Typically (as far as I can think), the interject is something vulgar. For example: "Radio-bloody-active" (from an episode of Family Guy) "Ri-god-damn-diculuous" "Un-f***ing-believable" What is the word for this construct?

interjections

Cerberus

@timothymh Yeah, well, I'm not absolutely sure.

@DavidWallace Oh bleh.

timothymh

12:09 AM

(Darn chat lag)

Cerberus

I know.

kiamlaluno

Would not parenthesis be the right word to use in that case?

Cerberus

Well...

If you look at the meaning of the word, it could be; but parenthesis is reserved for something else, so...

@timothymh Sorry buddy, that looks like an exact duplicate to me.

It's sad.

David Wallace

I wonder if it's ever doubled up. Like Ri-god-dicul-damn-ous. Or something.

timothymh

@RegDwightѬſ道 HAHA

David Wallace

12:12 AM

or stu-mother-pen-fucking-dous

timothymh

@DavidWallace Well that would be abso-freaking-lutely ri-god-dicul-damn-ous.

(I feel like I'm speaking in Ubbi Dubbi.)

Cerberus

Right.

kiamlaluno

I feel disturbance in the Internets. It must be because each Internet tries to talk when another Internet is already talking.

I notice chat-lag too much, lately.

timothymh

@kiamlaluno Same.

kiamlaluno

They must be replacing the gerbils.

timothymh

12:14 AM

@kiamlaluno Or interns.

kiamlaluno

I don't see revision numbers here; it should mean they don't use gerbils on chat as they do with Stack Exchange sites.

timothymh

@kiamlaluno *hamsters

See meta.stackoverflow.com/a/96356/179339 and meta.stackoverflow.com/a/123042/179339

kiamlaluno

I liked gerbils better, but if they have to be hamsters, then hamsters be.

Is ham made from hamsters?

And is java made from JavaScript?

timothymh

@kiamlaluno *by

Get your prepositions straight.

;)

kiamlaluno

Or is JavaScript the script language for the coffee maker?

timothymh

12:19 AM

@kiamlaluno No, that's Java.

Aw, look at the conversation. I killed it. :(

kiamlaluno

Is it laying on the floor?

timothymh

oof!

That hurt.

kiamlaluno

Floof? I don't have a floof, in my apartment.

timothymh

Please excuse me while my ear makes a Van Gogh imitation.

kiamlaluno

If it is not laying on the floor, then it's not killed.

Talking of floor, why are there so much pins?

If I catch who has the habit of dropping pins…

timothymh

12:27 AM

…you are just messing around, right? I'm just making sure.

kiamlaluno

I imitate Van Gogh, especially the moments when he was thinking about a new painting.

RegDwight Ѭſ道

His armpit must be itching.

kiamlaluno

It is tickling, but I will ignore that. I will pretend I don't have hampits.

timothymh

I really think I'm missing something.

Now I can really say, "I am blue."

If I go to chat.stackoverflow.com, I am black.

Mahnax

How is everybody this fine evening?

timothymh

12:37 AM

@Mahnax Not much.

kiamlaluno

That is why my avatar is black and blue: So I can use it where I am blue, and where I am black.

I am pretty well; my armpit is hitching too.

Mahnax

@timothymh You aren't much? Interesting.

timothymh

@Mahnax Apparently, (just catching you up, here) @kiamlaluno's armpit is itching, so he is blue like a Van Gogh impression on EL&U but he is black on SO and is also making egregious grammatical errors.

@Mahnax joke.

Mahnax

@timothymh Same as usual, then.

@timothymh Je savais.

kiamlaluno

In my defense, I can say "made from" is perfectly grammatical.

timothymh

12:42 AM

@Mahnax Sais-tu ça?

@kiamlaluno True. Mostly I was referring to "laying" and "why are there so much pins".

@Mahnax Is it? I see.

Mahnax

@timothymh Oui.

timothymh

(I love the word egregious.)

@Mahnax Vraiment‽

Mahnax

@timothymh Oui, vraiment! Pourquoi est-ce que tu ne me crois pas?

timothymh

Does "NTBCW" already stand for "not to be confused with"? 'Cause if not, it should.

@Mahnax Je ne sais pas.

Mahnax

@timothymh Alors tu es absurde.

timothymh

How about a look-alike: ﹨

I used U+FE68 rather than U+005C.

kiamlaluno

That doesn't make it monospaced.

timothymh

1:16 AM

@kiamlaluno It is, though.

You just can't see the difference between ﹨ and ﹨.

(Hint: the second one is monospaced.)

I mean, I used U+FE68 rather than U+005C to make it appear without an escape, and "that's monospaced, to boot!" applied to the individual post, not the fact that I'd used a different Unicode code point.

kiamlaluno

No; it's a different character, which not using a monospaced font.

timothymh

Please elaborate on "which not using a monospaced font."

kiamlaluno

@timothymh Did you write it between back ticks?

timothymh

@kiamlaluno Yes. The first one, in the How about a look-alike post, and the last one, in the You just can't see the difference post.

The small-form reverse solidus is not monospaced here. It is simply absent from monospace fonts. The browser loads it from a non-monospace Unicode font.

timothymh

kiamlaluno

The font list is quite long: Consolas, Menlo, Monaco, 'Lucida Console', 'Liberation Mono', 'DejaVu Sans Mono', 'Bitstream Vera Sans Mono', 'Courier New', monospace, serif.

Q: Is rhyming of two words a transitive property?

Let's suppose A rhymes with B and B rhymes with C. Does A always rhyme with C?

rhymes

user19161

This is somewhat OT to me. It is a question on logic perhaps.

user19161

If there is doubt about it as part of the language, the question should be rephrased to clarify the definition of rhyming instead.

user19161

It is a bit like asking if A has the same number of letters as B and B has the same number of letters as C does A have the same number of letters as C?

David Wallace

... or about the definition of "rhyme". If you asked "is rhyming an equivalence relation" on a logic or math site, it would certainly be off topic there. This simply uses mathematical language to ask about a definition of an English-related term.

Q: We was gonna have some fun

In the movie "Thelma & Louise", Thelma says: You said we was gonna have some fun, so let's have some! So my question is why does she say "was" instead of "were"? Is it meant to indicate something like the woman is illiterate? And what would people think of me if I talked like that?

Q: Avatars in chat keep flashing black?

I'm getting weird visual issues with the chat avatars that I didn't used to. Some of them will now 'flash black' roughly once every 10 seconds, eg. the third from left here: In addition, for some icons when I hover over them, they become "not washed out" (correct), but when I unhover them, t...

@WillHunting Lucky she didn't marry anyone called Long.

Jez

Am I the only one experiencing this?

it's frigging annoying.

David Wallace

10:36 AM

I only experience it with Will Hunting's avatar :-)

user19161

@Jez It becomes washed out when the person has not spoken for long. Perhaps this problem happens because what you are seeing is not the updated version but a version from some random past time.

Jez

yes, it tends to just be with 1 or 2 avatars at any given time

it's a weird bug they seem to have introduced

@WillHunting but why would it display fine for 10 seconds then briefly flash dark?

it's not sticking on dark

user19161

@Jez Hence random. The fluctuation is too great.

Jez

huh?

user19161

Actually I am not even sure what you are seeing or what I am saying now...

Jez

10:38 AM

I have screenies in the linked post on Meta

user19161

@Jez Is it just the black ones giving you the problem? Mine is black too.

Jez

no, it's any avatar

user19161

Mystery.

MartyIX

thefreedictionary.com/take+cover -- could anybody please explain to me why there's no article before cover? I know it is probably an idiom but I miss a rule to use.

i can't even see why it's happening

David Wallace

10:40 AM

Sorry, no I'm not seeing it at all, come to think of it.

Jez

it was happening with your avatar

(this time)

user19161

@MartyIX Cover is used as an uncountable noun.

Jez

it's not doing it now because you just talked, but as you don't talk and you fade out, it will flash dark every 10 seconds

David Wallace

I'd better make sure I keep talking then.

Jez

heh

user19161

10:44 AM

@DavidWallace I like the actor Justin Long.

David Wallace

@MartyIX I feel it's definition 5a of the noun definitions for cover. As Will said, it's a mass noun in this context, although for most of the definitions of cover, it's a count noun.

MartyIX

@DavidWallace Oh that is big news for me that words can be countable and uncountable depending on meaning. It makes sense but I've never thought about it before. Thanks!

user19161

How come nobody thanked me?

David Wallace

@MartyIX The classic example is "hair".

MartyIX

@WillHunting Thanks to you too! :)

David Wallace

10:47 AM

Is Jackie Chan's wife really called Chaise, or is this some kind of Reg Dwight joke that I don't get?

In any case, is she likely to leave Mr Chan and marry Justin Long?

user19161

@MartyIX Thank you for thanking me. I usually respond first in this chat but usually do not get thanked!

user19161

Life is not fair. QED.

David Wallace

Yeah, whereas I always wait for someone else to answer, then try to take credit for the answer :-)

To be fair, I'm trying to watch a football game on TV.

So I wasn't very quick off the mark with my answer.

user19161

Theoretically Chai Se could be a Chinese name, but I doubt anyone is called that.

David Wallace

Oh, I see; it was a Regism.

@WillHunting but why do you doubt it?

user19161

11:02 AM

@DavidWallace Because I have not heard anyone called that.

David Wallace

Fair enough. I thought you were about to give some complicated mathematical naming-grammar rule.

KitFox

11:19 AM

@DavidWallace Do you know what a "chaise longue" is?

Hence the joke.

David Wallace

Yes, of course I know what a chaise longue is. But I don't understand what this has to do with Jackie Chan's wife. I must be being dense.

KitFox

@Mahnax His Chinese name is Chen Long.

And his wife's name is Chaise.

Chaise Long.

Aha! The remark by Will Hunting was the piece of the puzzle that I was missing.

I thought his given name was Kong Sang?

KitFox

RegDwight Ѭſ道

And his wife's given name was King.

KitFox

11:23 AM

The "Long" is probably "dragon."

David Wallace

He changed his name to Fong Si-Lung. Don't know where Chen Long comes in.

KitFox

Do you have the hanzi?

RegDwight Ѭſ道

This is all a giant Fong-Si scheme.

Keep going, @Reg. You're doing great.

@KitFox hey at least I am having fun.

KitFox

That last character is dragon. Long = lung in some romanizations.

@RegDwightѬſ道 I was being sincere.

Ish.

David Wallace

Oh, OK. I'm impressed.

Fong Si-Long makes me think of Foxy Loxy, or however you spell it.

KitFox

So Shilong looks like maybe "dragon guardian."

David Wallace

Is that someone who guards dragons? Or a dragon who guards?

KitFox

And Fang is a surname approximately equal to "Elder."

David Wallace

11:32 AM

Noun or adjective?

KitFox

@DavidWallace Dunno. I'm not a Chinese expert. I just have a couple of dictionaries right here.

@DavidWallace Either.

That's why I choose that word to translate it.

David Wallace

I'm sure there's a combinatorics question in there somewhere.

KitFox

How so?

David Wallace

How many grammatical meanings can come out of rearranging the nouns "elder", "guardian" and "dragon", or something.

Like "I am the guardian of elders who are dragons", or "I am an elder among the dragons who are guardians" and so on.

RegDwight Ѭſ道

Huhuh, she said shilong, huhuh.

KitFox

11:35 AM

Well, I suppose. But since the surname is Elder, I would think of it more like "A dragon guardian from the family of Elders."

@RegDwightѬſ道 Yay! You noticed!

Also, "aposiopesis". TIL. What a great word for Hangman!

@DavidWallace The "a" in Fang is softer than the English fang, so they don't actually sound that much alike.

RegDwight Ѭſ道

Actually Fang is German for the imperative of "to catch".

No googling.

Obviously you must know.

David Wallace

Nothing that I know of.

RegDwight Ѭſ道

So.

That would shift the time frame, would it now.

David Wallace

But since the last competent musician died in 1943 (there, that's the axiom), ... it follows as a theorem that no music has been written since then.

No competently written music.

You mean.
