[Fiery]

It's my fave term for talking down to someone in a non-patronising way.

 

[Richard]

Thought it was fairly self-explanatory, TBH.

 

[Fiery]

A brain.

Does a brain run on Unleaded 91?

 

[Richard]

No, it runs on oxygen.

 

[Beleg]

You people are wired.

 

[Fiery]

No, it runs on oxygen.

Do you think humans would have evolved if they didn't eat meat?

 

[Richard]

I couldn't give a **** TBH. I've evolved away from eating meat, and I've done it because I have a brain, can think for myself and don't act principally on instinct.

Fair enough...so are you a vegetarian on moral grounds?

 

[Richard]

No, I'm a vegetarian because I tried meat and thought "this is absolutely bloody disgusting to me". I didn't then think "it's natural to eat meat so I'd better do so", I thought "I'll eat what I choose to eat".

Yeah, it's a fine oxymoron.

 

[Fiery]

Totally

 

[Richard]

It's a way out of something that would otherwise be a negative.

Calling someone "boi" is not patronising the way calling someone "sonny" would be, for instance (and I call people "sonny" when I'm trying to patronise them). But it's still talking down in a jest sort of way.

How old were you when you "tried meat and thought "this is absolutely bloody disgusting to me". "?

Yes dear.

5.

 

[Richard]

Yes dear.

Thou soundeth like my pater.

 

[Fiery]

5.

Wow...and you haven't eaten meat since you were 5?

 

[Richard]

Nope, and I've never had the slightest desire to either.

Nor has it affected my muscle-building. Those who have a decent clue in the World of nutritionism and supplements can basically eat what they want and still get the required nutrition.
