Holy crap. +25 cool points in my book for the proper use of the word "sophistry".
what does it mean pete? what does it mean?
It's the act of using confusing or illogical argument for the purpose of deceit.
sweet.... that is going in to my vocabulary... hopefully I can use it at work tonight
how is it pronounced?
sof-is-stree?
sa-fist-ree?
I think it's the first one, but I'm not totally sure. A more modern way of saying the same thing is,. "If you can't dazzle 'em with brilliance, baffle 'em with bulls**t."
Ah, you fixed it before I could point out your minor flaw. That's a great saying btw.
Yeah, but that "minor" flaw completely changed the meaning of it.
I'd say that 75% of my posts are minor streams of consciousness that I don't really re-read (because they're made between doing work), so half the time I go back later and say...."the f**k did I just say"?
