You should stay out of foreign countries that also speak English,
Phillips. The concept of idiomatic expressions seems to be way
over your head.

What the **** are you talking about? Do you know what a spotted
dick is?

In your case Phillips, spotted dick would be the results of some
dread and filthy sexual-related disease that you are trying to
spread. Sex with road kill is the probable original cause. The
spots are pustules.

Great. Still making things up out of thin air, eh?

But, in the UK, spotted dick is a kind of pudding. The spots are
currants.

Obviously you had to look it up on the Internet,

Wrong again. But thanks for sharing your delusional belief in your
omniscience, Phillips.

So, I guess you're idea of "idiomatic expression" differs from the
rest of the known universe, eh Arnold.

No evidence to support this claim has been presented.

Oh, but you just *did*.

The rest of us would just
consider "spotted dick" the name of something.

As the record clearly shows, so did I. Or, in Weil's universe, is "a kind of
pudding" not something?

No, you considered it "an idiomatic expression".

You lose.

Again.

Sorry, your claim that Marc was wrong is abjectly a lie. Lying liar,
liar. chuckle

In fact I did not called Marc a liar in my reply to his spotted dick post.

I didn't say you did, liar.

That makes you a liar, Weil.

Nope, your wrong. I never claimed that you claimed that he was a liar.
I claimed that *you* were a liar.

That darn English language - always letting you down, even in your
spin...poor little Arnold...

You're drunk, right Weil? That's why you're saying all these crazy things?

What crazy things? Like the fact that you seem to either a. have no
idea what an idiomatic expression is, or b. you're lying? It's either
one or the other. Which are you going to cop to? There's no other
choice.
You couldn't have been smoking some of those funny cigarrettes, could you?

I have no idea what a "funny cigarrette" is.
Nahhh. ;-)
