I couldn't give less of a fuck

Since a fuck is a discrete quantity
surely you couldn't give fewer of a fuck?

A poor show from our resident legal mind.

I really hope his legal expertise is better than his command of English, Al.

Given that he's unemployed I suspect this isn't the case.

I'm not unemployed.

Considerably more, old boy, it would appear
since even Quentin would have spotted the pisstake.

It's gone troll circle.

It wasn't trolling
it was a midly humerous diversion to the thread.

not everything on the internet has to be about being a cunt, you know.

There was me thinking you were being pedantic
pedantic and wrong.

My pedantry knows no bounds, Wormy
much like my wrongness.

Given that 'fewer' is used to describe multiples of things
and 'less' is used to describe singular things,

and a fuck is a singular thing, I'm not really sure what your point is.

I'm not quite sure what a 'discrete quantity' is either but I'm willing to bet your pubes to my wristwatch that it doesn't shed any light on whatever they fuck you were talking about.
( WormuIus, Fri 25 Nov 2011, 11:58, Reply)

discrete versus continuous. It defines variation and therefore how a multiple can be subdivided, if at all
It would shed light on it were it not for the fact I'm quite obviously deliberately talking shite. However I've no need for your pubes, and they aren't really a fair stake against my U-Boat. Soz.

Are you deliberately not understanding 'YOUR pubes to MY wristwatch' as well.
I need to know, I wouldn't want to look stupid on the internet.
( WormuIus, Fri 25 Nov 2011, 12:04, Reply)

yes. yes, that.
whatever. you know, it is possible to run with a joke without being a tit about it, you know. Even Al managed, if you noticed.

STOP TROLLING ME

It's all me me me from you today.

And if I can manage it in my ill fitting suit
then you would think an unemployed barrister would be able to do it too.

You know what annoys me?
Americans who say "I could care less", when they mean they couldn't care less. How fucking idiot is that?
