No worries, mate.

Someone is bound to put it in their signature.

It's ****ing hilarious! You'd really appreciate it, what with you professing to condemn wum **** ups, like.
 
But I didn't fail to post it up - it's on the Daily Arsenal thread.

I'm afraid you've ****ed up massively calling a wum **** up where one doesn't exist.

You may have heard of an old proverb 'If a tree falls in the wood and nobody is around to hear it, does it make a sound ?'

Your post is the tree, you may have posted it somewhere that nobody reads (I.e the woods) and thus it hasn't made a sound. Therefore claiming a wum **** up where nobody has witnessed one is, I'm afraid, a massive wum **** up.

The fact that you had to explain your analogy amply demonstrates its shabbiness.

For most people they would have got it first time. But I had to explain it to you, because clearly you hadn't understood why you'd made a wum **** up.

A philosophical or metaphorical debate can also be expressed as a proverb :

"A proverb is a short sentence, which is well-known and at times rhythmic, including advice, sage themes and ethnic experiences, comprising simile, metaphor or irony. It can often be metaphorical, or expressing philosophical maxims"

I'm afraid you've just 'done a HIAG' and ****ed up claiming a wum **** up :)

<laugh> the debate is a literal one, not a metaphorical one. It certainly isn't a maxim. How long have you trawled for a definition to give you enough to go into battle with.<laugh>

I told you, mate, Pixie is a fish that throws itself right onto your hook time and time again; he's the turkey who bears its arse with feathers strategically plucked so that it reads: "Shoot Me, Please!" He is, above all else, that golden comedy gift that never stops giving!

Don't try and rationalise why he keeps on coming back to take yet another massive beating, just deliver the beating and enjoy the moment.

Well done, mate.

... not even realising the **** up you've just made...

And yet, I fully appreciate the extent to which I am winding up both you and Bambi.
<laugh>

You don't even realise you're being double-teamed by SD and me. That's the funniest part!

Then again, in a turkey-shoot, the turkey has no idea that it's about to be shot.

So, explain to me how a philosophical or metaphorical idea expressed in proverbial context isn't a proverb ?

Also, how can it be both literal and metaphorical ?

You're blathering again aren't you? A sure sign that you know you've been done again.
