... in response to Sometimes Americanese is lost on me, posted by Pordzhik on Oct 9, 2002Sometimes, it's lost on me, too.
Is Dorf like a village idiot? Yeah, that's close. Dorf is an old expression indicating someone who kind of acts retarded. Similar to a "twit" I think?
Poster dick would have probably made you more upset, had you understood it. Dick is an American slang term for a man's reproductive organ. Poster was simply in reference to the fact that this "dick" was posting.
It was a crude and childish comment.
I guess that initially they thought you were a troll.
Trolls bring out the worst in all of us, because we are so tired of hearing it. There is nothing that a troll can say that we havene't heard, debated (and perhaps even secretly worried about) a thousand times already. But they seem to think that it is their job to come on here an "enlighten" us.
But, "Poster Dick" was a crude comment, which is why I objected to it when it was being used.
Frankly, if you watch this board for about six months, you will quickly learn EXACTLY what kind of a person each poster is.
And, unhappily, many are extremely childish...
Makes the trolls cackle in delight. Every time someone on the board acts like an inane four year old it simply confirms for them that we "all are losers."
