Btw what the fuck does "gets his just desserts" mean?

... Just what he deserves?

I meant jus deserts, i think. I always get those two words mixed up, whichever isn't the sandy thing.
But yeah it means get what he deserted, like a taste of his own medicine really.

Just what he deserved, you mean? Haha, it sounds like you're trying to say something that makes literal-sense... only with a speech impediment.

I ain't flamin', I was just wondering if that was a figure-of-speech or idiom that I had for some reason never heard before.

lol sam

Yeah desserts are after-meal courses...

I'm just confused: some guy that started a fight got given an apple crumble by you in an act of revenge? /boggle

Ah, cool... haven't heard that one before, noted.

Makes sense, if a little odd.

Blame the Aussies, they're illiterate, the lot of 'em.

which one do you mean?

You're trying to make criticisms whilst mysteriously using capital letters for the 'English language'? Lulz.

Idioms and figures of speech are not universal, shoo now you opportunist little fucker.

i was just referring to how your a pretentious prick with your english, trying to act superior, and yet not knowing incredibly common sayings.

a) You find it pretentious only because of your own inability to comprehend, i.e. you're a fucking stupid moron, and take offense to 'proper' language because it is beyond your basic understanding.

b) "Incredibly common sayings" is the whole point that I am contending. An idiom and turn of phrase in California may not be recognised in Alabama. Here in the South-West, certain sayings that come up in almost every single casual conversation will not be recognised several counties east; it's a dialect, a vernacular, a true 'figure of speech'. Not all sayings that you are familiar with are necessarily well known in other parts of the country. If I were to say to you mid-way through a conversation - "ow bist olle butte?" - you probably wouldn't be able to derive and respond properly without knowing the person/context or without the aid of a quick Google search. And that's one of the most obvious phrases and common phrases of speech in my home area - get my point yet?

Basically, you're lurking and trying to pick out flaws and trump me in the English forum because you somehow get off from feeling superior at something that you (wrongly perceive) me to be very prideful over. I make grammar, spelling and English mistakes all the time; I don't come here to practice my dissertation technique, thank you very much. I'm not going to pretend I've read into the Penguin Book of English Idioms, either, to gain a mastery of all the phrases from every single area and county of the English speaking world. Kthx, go back to geekishly tossing yourself off by one-upping console kiddies in the Other Titles forum now.
