DONAIRE vs. RIGONDEAUX - FINAL PICKS

Yet some people here cannot spell Heroin. Sad really.

 

figure it out and Im sure you'd be more tolerable

 

Of what? People with the pants half hanging off their ass who refer to their "music" as an "Industry" and then talk about squeezing big old birds into spoons??

 

You're Likely Referencing Neil's Sig...

MORE than a Few Americans INCORRECTLY Pronounce "Heroin" as "Heron"...Neil was Quoting a RAP Verse & REED's Confident the Emcee in Question PRONOUNCED the Word as Such....



REED:hammert:

 

are those folks any worse than the gimps who catch culture like the flu ?

 

Heron? Heron is a large bird.

 

Culture? Listen mate the closest you will ever get to culture is when your boyfriend dumps a quart of hot yogurt on your back when faking orgasm.

 

much like your ex hyna

 

you sure do have a thirst to learn all about american culture, mate

 

I listen to Stuck Mojo. Indian guitarist, and I don't mean Hanzy-Indian, and a blek on lead vocalz. I am down. Now, I am yet to get any large predatory birds into a spoon yet, but hey......

 

with your winning personality it would stand to reason that the only birds youve spooned with were large.

 

I can't stand you guys.

 

"winning personality" ::

 

A HA!!! Out damn Heron! Out!!! Into my spoon!!!

 

Rigid Dough is a good fighter, I thought he did real well vs the other fella. Smart fighter. Only has a few fights, people need to remember this.

 

I said this before to Noble, but everyone knows I like very aggressive, violent fighters - Duran, Morales, Pacquiao, Tyson etc. So Gondo is not the type of fighter I generally like.

But as a boxing fan, how can you not admire his ability?

6 punches a round or not, he made a guy like Donaire - who has looked like a clinical assassin against good fighters - look like a clueless scrub.

 

rigondeaux is a more entertaining watch than donaire. i blame donaire for the lack of action

 

And that's just it. When he came to Ireland he fought a guy called Willie Casey who was scrubby but expected to at least put up resistance. It was all over in a round. Rigormortis set in and the dude was out of there.

 

Donaire was being made to look bad so he became tentative and scurred.

 

:l2:

 

Heron is a slang pronunciation of Heroin, likely originating with southern black american vernacular. Been around for decades, long before anything even resembling hip-hop

 

Heron is the actual pronunciation of Heron, a big ass bird that eats ducks alive, been around for millennia, most likely before anything even remotely resembling Neil.

 

who gives a fuck?

do you read Mark Twain and scream "THAT'S NOT WHAT THAT WORD MEANS!!!!" when a word meaning one thing is spelled out in pronounced dialect as a slightly different word meaning something completely different?

 

No, I happen to agree with Twain on the meaning of those words, in fact I still use them myself today for that very purpose.

 

Cryrish mcBigot's fetish for american culture only began within the last 15 years.

 

"Damned Fools Have Given Irish A 15 Year Headstart On Them"

 

so what's the problem?

The particular strain of speech where "Heron" comes from pronounces "Heroin" as "Heron"

In an effort to make sure this distinction is adhered to in recreations or quotes of whatever song it is Neil is referencing, the publisher writes the word as it is said. The people saying "Heron" weren't writing "HERON" on walls or some shit like that, it's a phonetic representation of the pronunciation like "auld" for "old" or "ye" for "you"

What are you so upset about?

 

I swear to god the next time Billeh Hunger has the unmitigated AUDACITY to write "Doon" in place of the word "Down", I'm going to fucking LOSE IT!
