And why do we (that is, the Aussies) use the metric system, but still order a "Pint" of lager?

Why does "pint" have a long "i" when "bint" (as in "dozy bint") has a short "i"?

Why is there no synonym for the word "synonym"?
Newsflash: the word "irony" doesn't mean "a bit like iron" :roll:

Can we be content that "synonym" is an antonym of "antonym"?

Is anyone surprised that we're talking about synonyms on an SRD fan site? :lol:

Is there any deep significance to the fact that a simile uses the word "like", and one might smile at someone whom one likes?

If I reply by saying, "Metaphors be with you," would you laugh or want to hurt me?
