As some friends of mine told me," is it true that in America, an ordered pizza comes earlier than an ambulance does?" :D
Really it's more of a joke, but it all depends, it could be true. One of the ways pizza companies sell pizzas is by promising delivery in 30 minutes or less, or some other time. To do so, they often have to break traffic laws, thereby holding up their promise for a speedy delivery. For ambulences, hospitals are far fewer in number compared to pizza places (probably like 50 to 1 or so). This means they may need to take longer distance (=time) to get to the desired location. On occasion, no ambulences are available and you must wait longer for one to even start on its way for you. Also, in an emergency (where you might need an ambulence), time seems to move slower; so it may seem like the ambulence is taking longer than it really is. All this together may explain that strange saying.Quote:

Oh:) I made it myself, so of course there is no such a word....
awesome ?:D (I learnt it from TheCPUWizard, he is a naice yankee.:D )
By the way, I thought you were so scared by that webpage that you seemed to run away from me for days. I still have some other stuff but I m afraid you will not want to take a look at. Anyway, they are all fine for me. You know, sometimes I feel sad or alone, I just turn it on and wait for around 3 minutes and ......sure you get that. Really nice and so much fun, I get back to my good mood again. So, If you are in trouble or having stress, just get back there and have fun.
One more thing I would like to ask you basicnet. In Singapore, If I ask some guy "Can you tell me about this ?", Is it true that he will say just like ..."can"?.:D. Yeah that short ?. :D Right?
That's a new one on me... are you sure you didn't make that one up yourself as well?? ;)Quote:

No, I didnot make up that word, I want to ask anyone who is from Eng how he/she will understand that word(whoop-de-doo). I said I made up this one TYFYE. I think people hear it and write it in such a way. So it can be woopty-du or hoopty-doo...Therefore that word maynot come up in dictionaries.
I've never heard "whoop-dee-doo" used in a sentence. Alone, it means "who cares?" If someone said "That's a whoop-dee-doo thing" I'd assume they escaped from an asylum or something.
A question posed by Simon666
What is the meaning of the phrase "No names - no pack drill"?
Often heard in war movies, spy movies etc (mainly American) but where does it originate from?
I have never ever ever ever heard that. Well, not all five words together at the same time. What movies have this line???Quote:

Funnily enough, I last heard it during the Christmas period in a re-run of one of the James Bond movies. It was one of the ones with Sean Connery in it - either Thunderball or Never Say Never Again, I thinkQuote:
