No, not really, I just thought that all this talk of pigeon holing threads was a bit pedandic and we all now who the biggest pedant was don't we :?: Ktee and Gambrinus have got enough to do weeding out all the weirdos and general nuisances without having to decide which section a thread should be logged under. For instance shouldn't discussions on English football go under the joke section :twisted:

….linguistic problem or old Portuguese joke..?????…
… “quer alho” or “caralho”…. both sound exactly the same to me, but one means “do you like garlic?” and other is the most naughty rude word…….so take the opportunity to utter the forbidden whilst offering garlic or discussing recipes……

…. “mula” and “mulher” sound very different …one means “mule” and one means “woman/wife” ……for years I would unwittingly refer to the boss as a mule….(but she’s got a good sense of fun)………
