    Can you use it in a sentence please?
    The very existence of flame-throwers proves that some time, somewhere, someone said to themselves, "You know, I want to set those people over there on fire, but I'm just not close enough to get the job done." -George Carlin

    Makes sense, it sounds like a George Carlin kind of thing.

    Default (bad)Whale will respond...

    Upon request: Cut & Paste:

    My name's Will. My previous boss was from Taiwan, and when he'd address me it always sounded like "whale" (the large mammal). Funny thing was, he could say "will". For example:

    Lin: "Whale will go to meeting for me"

    Anyway, it became my nickname around the office, and I've changed it to badwhale on this and different forums.

    When I joined the computer biz in the '70s, I was also training as a stuntman. Due to my tight schedules, sometimes I'd arrive to work in full western gear including guns. My boss, who became a very close friend, thought it was "wild". It has stayed with me though the years.
