[uiowa08]

What is the correct plural of Want of Bee? Is it Want of Bees, or Wants of Bee? I vote for the latter.

 

[Hawkeyeforlife77]

What about windshield temperature? (wind chill) I think more people screw that one up than any.

 

[IaFever]

Markfromj. What a classic post. I love how the last two words in your post are a nice WOB. In sue instead of ensue. Classic.

 

[Joes Place]

mark-

"Old-timer's disease" is another accepted form of that WOB

 

[The_Rock88]

Could someone also post to the top of the board a sample football schedule where each Big Ten teams plays 9 conference games, instead of 8.

Also, I would reccommend a list of common misspellings that ocurr...as it is, it wood be redicoulous to loose this thread.

Bump. My second and last request of the admins.

 

[Iza]

Don't forget "flash in the pants" vs "flash in the pan".

 

[wanderer85]

Disagree-"Old-timers" is a nickname, not a WOB.

 

[Hawkness Monster]

Pinned.

I hope I did this in a timely enough manner. Lord knows I don't want to be responsible for anyone committing sue aside over such a trivial issue.

 

[BrewCityG]

I was trying to think of others, but this may be the whole bowl of wax.

 

[LifelongHawk]

How this thread could exist without including recent events is be on me.

 

[DutchHawk]

Don't forget 'it's a mute point'.

 

[MuscoHawk]

I busted up laughing reading a few of those. Sacramento Lamb?! Lol...

I vote neither. Want ofs Bee sould seem to be the only option.

 

[BrewCityG]

Someone used "Case Pin Point" with me last month.
He was a fresh grad... So, I laughed at him and made him feel really uncomfortable.

The original usage was actually plural and was "want of bees". As in (two sportscasters) are Trev Alberts want of bees.

The highlight of "mute point" was probably cidsports who was using it repeatedly, got called out on it, claimed he knew of "moot point" but "mute point" was a variation and continued using it.

NOt sure where this ranks, but I used to work with a guy who always said "Point in Case". Still does as far as I know.

 

[overeasy]

These make me laugh - VERY hard. Like this:

Thanks, mark, for the list. Thanks, monster, for pinning it.

I second that, I'm pretty sure it was want of bees.

 

[TAikin]

I forgot a great one. A former co-worker used to give reports for the "physical year"

Do any of you WOB's remember who the WOB poster was that came up with that WOB, WOB, and thus starting the WOB craze? Was it that WOB Mulva? He was a WOB if there ever was a WOB.

 

[hawkfal]

Lack toast and tolerant. Man, that's just too much.

Absolutely. It should be "want of bees" for a variety of good reasons, not the least of which is that "want of bee" is a single term that really can't be meaningfully broken down into parts like "Attorneys General," or "mothers-in-law." Besides...

oh, never mind.

 

[specimen24]

i cant believe people really said some of these....lmfao

 

[mattguess]

My buddy texted me the word "stat sure" instead of "stature".

 

[HerkyHopeful]

hyper bully rather than hyperbole. Yes, I'm stretching a bit on that one.

 

[ChipHilton]

A recurring Lounge favorite: He/they was/were totally dominate.
But you should of known that.

 

[ZaHawks]

"Want of Bee" for malapropism

Want of hive

 

[Hawkness Monster]

I'm thinking of moving this over to the Legendary Forum after a few days. What's your opinion on that?

 

[Douglas C. Neidermeyer]

Some of you may be disappointed with the submitted list but don't "lick a gift horse in the mouth"

 

[HawkinGeorgia]

I looked, but did not see "in sue" in the list of approved for use want of bee phrases. Doesn't this require some type of elevated ridicule being that it appeared in the original post in this thread?

[markfromj]

I will be updating the list tonight.

Sounds fine to me. My motivation for starting this pointless exercise was to get a maintained list we could reference when we see a potential new WOB, because so many are now used with knowledge of their WOBness.

I figured that. The Leg Forum might be the best place to keep it.

 

[markfromj]

Okay, Monster, the list is updated. Move to leg forum at your will.

I have no documentation for these, they were a while back, and may be only approximations of what was written:

"sop and wet"
"trader to the cause"
"in the mist of a four game losing streak"
