Antz are they a problem

never Dave, never...........we didn't have cuss words way back then. :grin01: we just used "dropping the deuce" or "growing a tail" and "throwing some water". sorry for adding to this crappy thread, as all the language is not real nice anyway......but figured if you can't beat 'em, add a few more slang terms.

no, but "leaving" one would be.

:roflmao: And since this is a herper's forum, we shouldn't forget about all the lizard draining and turtle-head poking! :grin01:

I've always hated the phrase "take a dump". I can appreciate crudeness if I can find humor in it, but this phrase doesn't amuse me. :shrugs:

well, I think if everyone would just use terms that they would use when talking to their grandparents, we'd be o.k. It's only a matter of respect isn't it?
But...since we're having so much fun with different "term"... in my house we just say that we're "dropping the kids off at the pool" :toiletgra
 
Where I work, it's a fairly small office, and it's pretty obvious if someone's gone to the toilet. What winds up happening, inevitably, is that someone telephones for the toilet visitor.

Now, saying "He's just stepped out for a minute" can be misinterpreted, and we often get told to 'go find him.'

So we came up with the euphemism "Gone to the Accounts department" - namely, "he's gone to spend a penny".

Right up until we actually GOT an accountant ... so now it's "Going to the Human Resources department".

Hah! Most of the HR people I deal with are full of... pennies. ;)
 
Turtle ones huh? Like, I gotta go drop the turtles off at the pond? Or Drop the kids off at the pool. My favorite one was on that tv show where they were in a French resteraunt and the guy said "I've gotta go bomb downtown Paris" I think that was from Til Death with the big guy from Everybody Loves Raymond.

Crap is a bad word, I mean honestly. I have heard much worse on basic cable and on disney movies. Give me a break. If we are talking about censorship then maybe we should take a look at the happy face things like the two you have that are toasting the beer mugs or the other happy face thing with the flamethrower.
 
I don't get it, you're comparing apples to oranges. We're talking about using respectible language on this site. I don't think anyone should have a problem with that. Are you saying that you find those little happy faces offensive??
:shrugs: :sobstory:

Lately i have seen ants in my house which is crazy cuz i've never had that problem b4 but anyways i wanted to know if they would actually try to snack on my snake

It depends on the kind of ant. However, if you see the ants getting close to the viv, you can sprinkle a perimeter of baby powder or baking soda or some similar powdery substance around it. Ants don't like to walk in it.
 
I like that suggestion Desert Animal! I for one, prefer to live among ants than to use pesticides. Than again, I don't think the little black ants we have in the west (assuming you have the same ones I do) are much of a danger to anything.
Keeping things clean, go along way towards discouraging ants too. Find out what's bringing them inside, most likely it's not the snake itself, and get rid of it.
If it's hot where you live (666killademon, not desert animal- I know it's hot where you live!!) they might be coming in from the heat and attracted to the water bowl, you can offer them water closer to where they are coming in... Not ideal, but we live in a world with ants, and they pretty much do as they please- Even pesticides aren't very efficient when it comes to ants...

Is "crap" considered to be bad language in Scotland? I didn't see any bad language in that post.

hold up crap is a bad word i just read my responses and if i wanted to say bad words i wouldn't use crap im from the chicago streets and when u say crap u ARE toning it down

My thoughts' exactly. I had no idea "crap" was not an accepted word. I know most use Poo, but realy is ''crap" so bad? if you had said s%#@ I could understand but "crap"? PULEASE!
 
Um... back to ants...

You can use vinegar and water mix (about 75% vinegar) and it kills them and kills their scent trail. It is also non-toxic to animals. I use it to clean all my animal dishes etc. I'm pretty sure is disinfects just as well as soap if not better.
 
Actually, the inventor of the toilet, his name is Johnathan (John) Crapper. Thus, nicknames for the modern day toilet include john as in "going to sit on the john". Also, derived from the last name Crapper "taking a crap" or "my snake hasn't taken a crap". I feel that this makes the word "crap" acceptable.

[NITPICK] It was actually Thomas Crapper, so i don't know where "going to the john" came from.....and technically he didn't actually invent the toilet.... and the word crap was apparently in use before Thomas Crapper came along. Wikipedia [/NITPICK]
