Anti-Football

medrosbeelboilsoverintoarson

 

Who did you think I was talking about, Legia Warsaw, Dukla Prague?

Because it includes the words "a sort of". Can you not read?

 

Football in general. Like yourself, but now you realised you ****ed up you are trying to back track.

Coined = To create a new phrase.

So whats the difference between an "anti-football" style of play and a "sort of anti-football" style?

 

Id say it means that it resembles anti football but actually isn't

Think Rangers and Sevco

Nah, the ities were doing it decades ago.

 

Thanks ST for this one....

Finlay Quaye - Black - Sort of
Medrofail - British - Sort of
BJK - Absolutely Not

 

he's at the ****ing wind up

 

Yeah but then again you said Celtic were the only team in 2012 to stop Messi scoring or getting an assist.

If he wasn't having a pop at Celtic then how come MON reacted with such fury

Awk bless, you asking for help from your "friends" on here.

 

Aldo proves that Celtic did infact invent anti-football

****ing debate over

 

It has been over for a while, it's Dev that says he comment was in reference to Rangers, when quite clearly it wasn't.

Both him and Mindy have been schooled.

I take no pleasure in it, but I do feel it was necessary.

I know they won't thank me but i'll say it anyway.

You're welcome.

Celtic are the only team in the 2012 campaign to stop Messi

.....

Who said he wasn't having a pop...we scored...its hardly anti football....maybe that's why he said "sort of"

....

Naw, ST mentioned him in the Racism thread

 

So playing "a sort of anti football" means once you equalised you played anti-football. Exactly what Frank said.

You've took one hell of a thumping today Mindy

What does “to coin a word/Phrase” mean?


The meaning of “to coin (a word or phrase)” is changing and there’s a clear-cut need for some kind of disambiguation.

The new meaning of the verb, supported by any number of news articles or blog entries, seems to be “to say, especially in a noteworthy fashion” and not the older “to create a unique expression; to say something for the first time ever; to neologize.”

This article claims two fellows coined the word redonkulous, but it’s not clear which meaning of “coined” was intended. Probably the old meaning—that the word was first said, ever, by the two men in question, in which case the reporter is wrong. A clear-cut case of the old meaning of “coined” is in this article, where the author claims Clarence Williams, the Delta-born pianist and publisher, coined the word “jazz.” Here they are citing Williams himself who made the bold claim that he used the word first, ever, which is so far unsupported by the evidence.

In this article, when Raymond Graves writes, “President Bush coined the word ‘war’ to suit and fuel his desire to attack Saddam Hussein,” it’s clear the new meaning of “coined” is intended, because, of course, the word “war” was not first said, ever, by the president of the United States and nobody sane would think so. No doubt the expression “to coin a phrase,” tacked on after things that the speaker knows has been said before, is influencing this change in meaning. In my own writing, I think I’ll disambiguate by using the verb “neologize” when necessary and by avoiding “to coin” altogether.

As I have explained on numerous occasions Medro, YOUR defintion of a word/phrase is not necesarrily the corrrect one or a clear guide as to the context in which it was used. I meant it as "to say, especially in a noteworthy fashion".

Do you comprehend?

 

And there's more of the same:

I've always thought "to coin a phrase" means to invent a phrase or be the first person to use it. (Like Medro did) Today I came across this usage by a reporter for the Lancashire Telegraph.

The Burnley board are damned if they do and damned if they don’t, to coin a Kilby phrase, ‘bet the ranch’.

In this statement, very clearly the reporter is using Kilby's common phrase and not making up her own. Some searching led me to the Cambridge dictionary. To coin a phrase - something you say before using an expression that has been very popular or used too much. In this definition this becomes equivalent to "cliched".

The same sentiment is explained at http://www.phrases.org.uk/meanings/coin-a-phrase.html So my question is whether this is universally the case or is it a British English thing?

Is it now incorrect to use "coin a phrase" with a meaning of "a new phrase" ? http://english.stackexchange.com/questions/42988/correct-usage-of-to-coin-a-phrase


AND:

Something you say before using an expression that has been very popular or used too much. I was, to coin a phrase, "gobsmacked"!
http://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/british/to-coin-a-phrase

AND:

'To coin a phrase' is now rarely used with its original 'invent a new phrase' meaning but is almost always used ironically to introduce a banal or clichéd sentiment. This usage began in the mid 20th century; for example, in Francis Brett Young's novel Mr. Lucton's Freedom, 1940:
"It takes all sorts to make a world, to coin a phrase."

Hoisted by your own petard Medro...To coin a phrase.

 

Obviously it wasn't. It was the only team who have stopped him in the 2012 campaign

...

Frank sounds like he was beelin'. Yet he didn't say we played anti football...he said we sort of played anti football.

For example:

MTS: Medrofail, did you get your hole?

Medrofail: Sort of

Hmmm? Sounds unsure.

 

I don't know about looking up "to coin a phrase" but after reading that I think Medrofail should look up "owned"
