Coincidence?

Is it coincidence that the day I bought Mario Kart Wii my PlayStation 3 died? Of envy maybe?

I must admit, 99% of my console time goes to my Wii, instead of PS3... With the coming of MK Wii, maybe the PS3 just gave up?

Wii make me angry.

Wii will now self destruct.

Actually I seem to have noticed something interesting in the discussion of the slightly inappropriate-sounding name "Wii". I don't want to start an obscene discussion, but I've been wondering about this for a while...

I've always considered "wee" to be a baby-talk word for urine, or the act of urinating, but from the puns I've seen online it looks like many people take it as a baby-talk word for rod (hopefully you can still work out what I mean if the swear-filter censors me...) Is this the case? My guess would be the difference is regional? I've never encountered it before?

I am ending things that aren't questions with question marks?

I don't know the true answer to your question; however, I do know my own connotations of the word. "Wii" or "wee" in itself never brings anything obscene to my mind, more like a child like squeal of joy "Weeeeeee!" However, when it is doubled in to "we we" I do think of it in terms of a rod. Wow...got way too technical about that.

I'm constantly being insulted and belittled about being younger than all of you, less mature, and sometimes for no reason at all, and I hate it! I've been trying to put up with it for ages now, but I've had enough. Stop it now or I'll do something drastic! Please.

It took me a while to figure out what you meant, but I think I understand where you are coming from. What's going on here is context. When Tal says, "more liek lamestation 3 lol", we know it's a sarcastic joke. This is especially clear with the obvious misspelling of "like", as Tal is rarely misspells anything. This is why his comment is not too bothersome, and it may even stop any console fanboy flamewars before they start.

This is just like what I go through when analyzing your last post. If you had been someone else, I would praise you for your brilliant use of self-parody and grasp of the modern concepts of irony. Since I doubt that's the case, I will point out that saying things like "Stop it now or I'll do something drastic!" on a web forum (of all things) just further underscores your immaturity.

Now, I'll take this a step further and explain why the staff gives you crap... it's because we find your comments to often be unfunny, annoying, and rarely helpful to anyone. We know that you're capable of not being that way, but you so frequently choose otherwise. So you can either keep getting made fun of, try changing how you act in the forum, or you can leave.

In other words, DinkDude95, we're all in a big clique and you're not in it! Neener neener.

Seriously though, you just fail to grasp when it is appropriate to be serious and when it is appropriate to throw a joke. You lack what is called "social antennas", except that's actually used for something else, so let's say you lack "forum antennas". Observe others and try to learn is all I can say. Of course, I never had to do that, I'm a natural. I don't feel like I pick on you more than others, perhaps you take this forum business too seriously.

“Men are respectable only as they respect."

I believe that's Ralph Waldo Emerson, could be wrong though. However to the subject, I cut up and throw in quips and jokes throughout many of the threads here at the DN. But why are you the subject of this topic of conversation (besides the fact you sorta brought it up) and not me? Timing. Even Sabre can degrade a level or two at times, but when he needs to be serious he can and will be...we hope. So I guess basically what I am saying is that Pheonix is right (O_O quick call the guys at Guinness world record). There is a time and place for anything and everything.

Also, so that this isn't totally a "Let's bag on Dinkdude" Party.

“Every man is a fool in some man's opinion”

So you aren't going to make everyone think you are good enough...ever. Isn't going to happen no way no how. Ain't gonna happen. So don't try, or don't care...whichever comes first

On top of the insight that Striker and Phoenix have kindly shared... well... I still don't see why you posted that in this thread in the first place. Interpreting that as an attack directed towards you is silly, especially considering you hadn't posted in this topic up to that point. I was making fun of fanboys/fangirls in general.

"Seriously though, you just fail to grasp when it is appropriate to be serious and when it is appropriate to throw a joke."

Maybe I do. Maybe I don't. But what I do know is that whenever I try and join in on a joke, I always get shunned due to my lack of age and I receive many an insult about being prepubescent. It's not ducking cool.

Okay, calm down. When you stepped into this thread, you brought up previous grudges, and insulted Tal. That's not ducking cool. Fairness and freedom of speech and all that stuff have nothing to do with it. It's not fair, and it's not free. Does it make it wrong? I don't know.

A lot of the jokes that get passed around her, are inside jokes. It takes a while to learn them, and there's no easy way to do so. If you don't get something, sure, there's encyclopedia dramatica and urban dictionary, and the ever-popular lurk moar, but realistically you are probably not the right age for society to accept that you can visit them.

Being called prepubescent shouldn't be taken as an insult, it's moreso just the way you are. It's like being called male. Or human. When I was young, I had no interest in physical relationships, but now I do. That came with time. A lot of what we joke about here is of a nature that isn't your nature, yet. So if you do try to join in on a joke, we will call you on it.

In all honesty, I don't really remember names or ages or personalities to most of the avatars I meet on the net. Sure, there's a few that I remember, but most I don't give two shoots about. If one of them pisses me off, fine. I won't remember it in 48 hours. Live and let live. Cooling off is fine. Grudges won't make you happy.

So now that Chrispy finally said something cool, something productive, I guess I'm supposed to calm down, right? Humph. May as well.

And next time, everybody, instead of insulting me about my "lack of maturity", go suck on a stick.

To answer Lady Valoveer's original question (and maybe clear up some confusion about American slang):

Possible homophones for Wii:

1. We- plural 1st person; 'I' plus someone else

2. Whee- an exclamation of joy/fun

3. Wee wee- urine, usually only called this if a baby does it

4. Weenie- euphemism for male genitalia; or an unpopular person/dork/weakling; or a kind of sausage

5. Wee- Irish/English word meaning 'small', usage considered archaic

Hope that helps. Seriously. Now, watch everybody lambast me for that.

In a day and time when some people are referring to President Bush as one of our most eloquent leaders, what you say and how you say it have both taken a turn for the worse. Now-a-days, most kids can say IMO with more ease then spelling "opinion," maybe that's good, maybe it isn't.
