The new freeper term to beat all freeper terms, better even than "Screwn"

[ET Awful]

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1742357/posts

(from a thread on global warming)

"Why is when Americans go to London they start dogging the U.S. and our President?"

You have it exactly backwards: they go to London IN ORDER TO cast asparagus on this country and administration.

Just another example of Price's Law of Politics in action ("It's easier to be a liberal a long way from home.").

:rofl:

[Buck Rabbit]

1. Hey!! You can poke an eye out casting those things!!

[Occulus]

36. There's a reason they call asparagus stalks "spears"

[rzemanfl]

49. Don't come knockin' if the trailer's rockin' 'cause we are screwn...

:rofl:

[Ferretherder]

111. ...while making the pie higher!

[BuyingThyme]

11. I'm betting that wasn't a mistake.

[angstlessk]

18. I'm betting he used spell check cause he spelled aspersions incorrectly

(gotta use spell check) Well he coulda said 'asperins'?

[BuyingThyme]

23. I thought of that, but decided against.

ON EDIT: Do they have spell check?

[angstlessk]

35. Good question, their site is so archaic I doubt it...maybe he is not

a bad speller just an idjit?

[BuyingThyme]

41. Idjit or Joe Kerr, maybe.

[angstlessk]

47. False flag idjit? Or...

...just a freeper trying to freep us out...and being cute in the process?

[BuyingThyme]

What next?

Brandishing broccoli?

Demeaning summer squash?


Oh, the wonder of it all.... :spray:

[angstlessk]

16. Give the guy a break..he used spell check and checked the first

correction! Sounded good to HIM! Idjit!

[Left Is Write]

19. That is undoubtedly the best of all of them.

97. Tell me this freep is joking.....

The last couple of winters in my locale have been way colder than average. I'm wishing we'd get some global warming over here!

How can you have so little understanding of global warming...if anything, "Excuse_My_Bellicosity" is providing evidence of the very thing he believes doesn't exist.... :banghead:

emphasis added because I finally figured out how;)

[Lost-in-FL]

20. ???

Cast Asparagus?? Can someone explain that one to me?? I am serious... I don't get it. :blush:

[KingFlorez]

24. They were trying to say aspersions

[Lost-in-FL]

30. OMG!!

heeheeheehee!!! :spray:

[BattyDem]

31. I think he crossed "aspersions" with "disparaging" and came up with ...

asparagus :rofl:

[KingFlorez]

40. I think you're right! LOL!

:rofl: :rofl:

[radwriter0555]

99. That's what I think too. My daughter and I are ROLLING on the floor over this one,

best laugh I've had in weeks!!!!

[malaise]

110. This is too good

:rofl: :rofl:

[BattyDem]

29. I'm guessing that he meant to say ...

"they go to London in order to cast disparaging remarks about this country and administration." :eyes:

[5thGenDemocrat]

107. Or "cast aspersions" -- which would be my guess

With these guys, who knows?
John
Conservative doesn't bother me -- brain-dead does.

[Virginia Dare]

118. Probably screwed up the spelling so badly..

that's what spellcheck popped out? :shrug:

What a maroon!! :rofl:

[me b zola]

130. Maybe a new version of 'Lords of Magic' came out

...and the fruits & vegetable people are a new race of charactors. The f&v mage can cast asparagus for 4 mana; for only 2 mana the mage can cast banana peel causing his opponent to slip and fall in combat. :D

[KingFlorez]

21. I'm laughing so hard right now

That person actually thought they were saying something right, what an idiot!

[Gormy Cuss]

22. The horror of it!

Im series. Why would anyone want to cast asparagus?

[ewoden]

26. cant cast asparagus w/o a "holiday" sauce

[file83]

131. LOL!!

[Minnesota_Lib]

27. LOL..I can't broccoli he actually said "asparagus"

[file83]

134. I'm going to cauliflower my congressman and see if he carrots about this!!

Those liberals are so damned rutabaga!!

[Minnesota_Lib]

146. ROTFLMAO! Great ones

[GoneOffShore]

28. Isn't it hard to fit on the hook?

And doesn't it get caught in the trees?

[rzemanfl]

38. Not if you use the hook you'd use with a soft plastic jerk bait, but

keeping it on the hook for more than a few casts is a problem and it is a bitch to figure out if you have picked up weeds.

[sarge43]

32. Yup. It'll be hard work for them to top that one. Morans. n/t

[TheCowsCameHome]

33. Hahaha. That one celery beets the moran guy. I'm gonna pea my pants

[Blue in Bama]

34. Cute kitties

n/c

[CrazyOrangeCat]

42. Welcome!

Enjoy some laughs at the pore idjits!!!

;)

[Blue in Bama]

45. Orange Kitty

Cool name...thanks for the welcome, too~!

[Horse with no Name]

37. Let me get this correct. Does one cast asparagus with or without

hollandaise sauce???
I mean it is the holidays. It might come in handy should I decide to cast asparagus.

[SoCalDem]

140. Hollandaise... ?? Ain't that next to FRANCE???

You commie pinko:) I'm alerting the spocksman

[ms liberty]

44. I can't believe this hasn't made the Greatest Page yet!...

I will K&R because this is just tooo funny!!!

[TheCowsCameHome]

46. Well, lettuce get together and make it happen.

[TheFarseer]

48. Amazing how they shop around

and find one report that says trees are actually causing global warming or some such nonsense and they believe that and just cast asparagus at the rest of the reports.

[BattyDem]

50. DU really needs a "Freeper to English" dictionary

I pity the newbies ... we'll use the "freeper shorthand" in our posts and they won't have a clue! :rofl:

"RWers are such morans! I'm series!! They cast asparagus on our democracy. We are screwn! This problem is hugh!!!" :P

[TheCowsCameHome]

53. They must use the Bush unabridged version

[BattyDem]

54. LOL!

:rofl:

[windbreeze]

98. It did take me a while to catch on to what

everyone was using it's hugh!!!111!!, I'm series....morans...etc...but this one takes the cake...casting asparagus, lord have mercy...surely they can't be series????
windbreeze

[Jazzgirl]

52. This is Hugh!!11!!1

They're casting asparagus!!! They are so screwn!!!

[BleedingHeartRN]

55. Do they administer an IQ test prior to registration?

Do their terms of service stipulate an IQ score "at or below the 25th percentile" in order to become a member?

No wonder they all idolize Dumbya... He is their leader. I've always guessed his IQ is in the "borderline intellectual functioning" range of 80-85.

It is hilarious, though. Bless all of you who lurk and entertain the rest of us.

I'm going to go cast some asparagus at a hugh freeptard who is seriesly screwn.

:7

[CrazyOrangeCat]

86. 80-85

I think that's probably a very accurate number . . .

Now how scary is that???

:yoiks:

[smtpgirl]

56. TOTAL TUMBLEWEEDS!!!

Wonder what delish flavors the asparagus has?

Hollandaise?
Grilled w/Olive Oil?
or Steamed?

Is it white or green?

That is disparaging

[BuyingThyme]

57. He said ASPARAGUS on purpose. See #51.

[dalaigh lllama]

85. Yes, but only because he was mindlessly mouthing

someone else's misspeaking. When I googled "cast asparagus" I actually found quite a few hits for it, but the best one was from a site called "Anguished English." Here's some gems from there:

I don't want to cast asparagus at my opponent!

The coworkers describe her as easy to work with and exhuming a great personality.

He's a self-defecating person. That's why I admire him so much.

The mountain was named for the Reverend Starr King, who was an invertebrate climber...


http://www.phrasebase.com/forum/read.php?TID=16359

[meow2u3]

106. This fits a freeper to a T

He's a self-defecating person. That's why I admire him so much.

Freepers do like to shit on themselves, do they? Or do they prefer to shit on us DUers?

[mohinoaklawnillinois]

58. OMG, I have to e-mail this to my cousin in England.

He'll get a really good laugh out of this..

Priceless, absolutely priceless..

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[degreesofgray]

59. Casting asparagus

makes your pee smell funny!

[tblue37]

60. The heck with casting asparagus--this is the Bush

family. Cast broccoli!

[Mist]

61. Okay, this is the kind of thing that makes me believe there are a few DUers, or other

progressives, who are registered at Freepworld, and do this stuff on purpose! I'm series!!!l11

[Berry Cool]

62. Archie Bunker truly lives.

Remember when he used to say "Case closed, ipso fatso!"? Or "Patience is a virgin"?

Or how much he hated women's libbers like that Helen Gurley Steinway?

[eppur_se_muova]

148. Ah, the memories ... my fave: "...always pickin' on poor Richard E. Nixon!"

It's only ONE LETTER, and he MISSPELLED it -- while SPEAKING, not WRITING! That has to be some kind of record.

RIP, Norman Lear, Carroll O'Connor. Thanks for the laughs (and the deeper stuff behind the laughs).

[Andrea]

150. Noman Lear is still alive. eom

[patricia92243]

63. K&R - Always like a good laugh! I've got a feeling we will be hearing that expression used a lot -

to funny to pass up!

[Ravy]

64. I hear many go to Brussels to sprout off! (nt)

[Canuckistanian]

65. It's like casting asparagus before swine

Giving freepers a spell checker...

[Marr]

66. "Right-wing think-tank" is an oxymoron.

[zbdent]

67. Now, now ... don't go casting ass Persians

at the freeptards ...

[tex-wyo-dem]

68. Now, THAT is funny!! Definitely a keeper...

Kind of reminds me of a friend I had who was notorious for butchering the English language. He would really come up with some gems, like the time he was trying to refer to the bubonic plague but all he could come up with was the bluebonnet plague...

Needless to say I spit my beer all over the place when he said that :spray:

[undeterred]

69. Why does no one ever cast broccoli?

[Cassandra]

152. Too much wind resistance.

It's much easier to aim asparagus.

[SeattleGirl]

70. I was talking to another DUer on the phone when I saw this.

Read it to her, and we could not stop laughing. Man. I didn't think anything was going to beat "screwn", but I should have known that the freeps would come up with something even better.

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[Gelliebeans]

71. Keep your asparagus to yourself

thank you :rofl:

[tuvor]

72. "casting asparagus" sounds like slang for "taking a pungent pee"

I'm willing to give 'em credit for it, even if it was unwittingly.

[NMDemDist2]

73. OMG!! i had to cross post this thread in the Cooking & Baking group

the foodies are gonna just love it!

:rofl:

[rurallib]

75. Now 'casting asparagus' will be part of a Thanksgiving recipe

Methinks some children done been left behind.

[Nicole]

74. Those folks are seriesly funny

:rofl:

[johnfunk]

76. Seriesly HUGH!!!1! FReepers cast asparagus on our aspersions!

Sounds like someone at the JimRom Kargo Kult has a screwn loose.

And speakin' of JimRob, how'd his quarterly scamathon go?

[badgerpup]

77. Ummm...I've seen that term used loooong ago...

In Robert Heinlein's novel I Will Fear No Evil.

The female protagonist makes a comment about another woman, then says;
"Oh, I'm not chucking asparagus at Winnie."

Somebody swiped my copy, or I'd look it up further...
and it's not in print anymore either...:grr:

[tuvor]

82. More hits than you'd expect from a Google search.

Maybe it's the rest of us who's ignent.

http://www.google.com/search?num=100&hl=en&lr=&newwindow=1&safe=off&q=%22Cast+asparagus%22&btnG=Search

[Hard_Work]

129. Robert

Heinlein was notorious for wordplay like that. However, he always did it tongue in cheek. Seriesly!

[Clark2008]

79. Cast asparagus?!?!?

:rofl:

Is that like putting food on your family?

:rofl:

[Berserker]

80. "It's easier to be a liberal a long way from home."

I find it very easy to be one right here and I'm not casting asparagus on anyone.
It just gets better and better fucking morans.

[catchnrelease]

81. Wow...

A bunch of us have been using that phrase for a couple years now, but knowing full well that it was a malapropism. Don't know who came up with it first, but looks like it's catching on. (I wonder if the freepers know it's NOT supposed to be asparagus!)

If someone jokingly insults you, or makes fun of you, you can say "Hey, was that asparagus??" :crazy:

[Doc_Technical]

83. This reminds me of a song by Kip Addotta.

http://talking-dog.com/blog/?p=183

[uppityperson]

87. stocking the president to cast apsaragus? those morans are screwn!

[mcg]

88. "Why is when Americans..."?

Saying 'Why is when Americans...' is about as bad as saying 'cast asparagus',
but it doesn't have the humor value.

[cui bono]

89. Hmm... I wonder if someone came into my kitchen today

and cast that asparagus onto my sandwich? It sure was tasty.

[Lilith Velkor]

90. It's funny, but lacks the zazz of "screwn"

[susanna]

91. Damn. "Screwn" was my new favorite word.

Now I'm gonna have to cast asparagus on freepers for ruining it for me. ;-)

Thanks bunches, morans.

On edit: by morans, I mean freepers.

[Catherine Vincent]

93. LMAO!

I'll admit I'm not that smart but at least I knew that was the wrong word to use! :rofl:

[hootinholler]

94. Bring out the holydiaze, there's casting asparagus!

Your pee's gonna smell for finding that.

-Hoot

[flying_monkeys]

95. Just be glad they aren't hurling Brussels Sprouts!

THOSE can pack a wallop!!!!



(remind me again why it is OK that a Freeper brain gets a full vote to counter my own.....)

[BlueStorm]

96. Well no one can beets that!!! nt

[orleans]

101. (what are you doing over there, anyway?) n/t

[TygrBright]

102. Sounds like a mangled version of Heinlein's "chucking asparagus."

I can't remember which character in which book said it (MIGHT be Lazarus Long,) but it was a made up colloquialism, a play on words version of "casting aspersions." The character intentionally used the slang reference although dialogue indicated he would have known the actual phrase perfectly well.

I always wondered if Heinlein culled the slangy, colloquial argot he put in his characters' speech from real people, and whether they were using such expressions as an intentional colloquialism or plain iggerence.

curiously,
Bright

[tuvor]

103. Look up a few posts.

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=364x2778742#2779767

[radfringe]

104. IN ORDER TO cast asparagus ... WTF???

sounds like "parmasan" politics to me

[Eurobabe]

105. Spargel!!!

That's German white asparagus. Looks evil doesn't it?

[Pachamama]

108. Especially evil with butter and parmesan cheese on it!

:evilgrin:

When good veggies' go bad.... :rofl:

Ich liebe Spargel! :hi:

[Brazenly Liberal]

112. ROFL! Hard to beat screwn, but that did it.

Cast asparagus
:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[LynneSin]

113. As John Lennon would sing: "Give Peas a Chance".....

[LostinVA]

114. This is good, but NOTHING is better than "screwn"

[peekaloo]

115. Why, oh why, can't we all live in hominy?

:cry:

[Alamom]

117. I don't know.....I'm just appled !

:P

[Saphire]

116. o.k....the more I read it...the funnier it gets......

[LouisianaLiberal]

120. The real question is:

Have you learned to defend yourself from cast asparagus? More dangerous than a pointed stick!

[ScreamingMeemie]

121. Err...oh dear...that's a common malapropism made famous on "Easy Aces"

by Jane Ace... :blush: Perhaps this freeper knew that...perhaps not. But because of it, screwn is funnier. It has no link to pop culture. :hi:

[treestar]

128. Nah, the freepers would not know anything literary

They came up with it themselves, just like the fictional characters in the literary references!

[Pacifist Patriot]

122. Disparaging does indeed cast aspersions. This is priceless!

Can these people walk and chew gum at the same time?

[wryter2000]

123. Well, they are the site for Christian morels.

Maybe they need some



to go with those aspersions.

[TK421]

124. Cast asparagus? Is that anything like casting magic missile?

:shrug:

[Hard_Work]

132. Jeebus,

thank you for that! I haven't thought about casting magic missile for years! Guess you shouldn't cast asparagus into the eye of the beholder, huh?:scared:

[TK421]

136. I think a beholder has damage reduction / 7 against attacks made

with vegetables. :D

[EstimatedProphet]

125. God those people are so fucking stupid.

How in hell do they find their way onto the internets anyway? I can just picture them turning their monitors over to try and get the web browser to fall out onto the table so they can write on it.

[kentuck]

126. That's hilarious !

:rofl:

[treestar]

127. And the freepers complain about the bilingual

When they are barely monolingual!

[bleedingheart]

135. Those who live in homes of hollandaise should not cast asparagus lightly

[Crim_n al]

137. TBQ is, do they know what DOGGING is in England?

I daren't link to an appropriate website, so just google "dogging" if you don't
know about England's most popular sport.

I'm sure the only person in London wanting to go dogging with "our President"
would be Tony B'liar.

.................................

I've collected a few funnies myself, and some, sadly, are from this forum.
These are all direct copy/pastes:

He's a really acceptional politician.

The US has the higest Gun fatality rate on the Planet and it all because of
"the right to bare arms".

The point is mute.

Durst is out on patrol after being found guilty of hacking his neighbor to pieces.

I predict they'll try to imminent domain it

Dont know whether its diliberate or not but your spelling and grammer is atroshous.

And just yesterday I was reading about the "antiques" the French are getting up to.

(Edited to finish after hitting "post" by mistake.)

151. Those are hilarious!

I especially love "collapsed Catholic" - I've known quite a few of those...

[SammyWinstonJack]

138. ..

[CatWoman]

139. that is fucking HILAROUS!!!

:rofl:

[Ilsa]

141. Isn't there an Olympic event for casting asparagus spears? nt

[Kadie]

142. Asparagus will never be the same.

I will bust out laughing next time I try to eat it.

:rofl:

[roamer65]

143. Plus their assumptions are crap.

I don't "dog" America. I "dog" the fascist policies of the BushCo regime and I "dog" them equally whether at home or abroad.
From what I hear, wear an "Impeach Bush" shirt abroad and you'll be very accepted.:evilgrin:

...and he's NOT "our" prezeldent, he's YOURS, you moronic flying monkeys.

[eridani]

147. "Fess up, please. It was YOU, right?

You went over to Freeperville and got a one-shot account JUST to add this Freeperism so that we could make fun of it, right? Am I right?

[HooptieWagon]

149. I don't know if the freeper was serious or not

...but I have heard the phrase "Casting asparagus" before, from my old dentist and family friend. He knew the difference, he was just a punster. Maybe it comes from an old comedy routine?.. sounds like a Grouco Marxism...

[KatyaR]

153. Asperagus for everybody--it is Thanksgiving, after all!

This made me laugh so hard I scared the dog. :rofl:

I'll never be able to use that phrase again without probably saying the wrong word.

Happy Thanksgiving, eyeryone!
