I'd say cry. I can understand some of them, but a lot of them can be used in so many different ways. For instance, the word dock is on there. I have a ton of curly dock in my field, so should they spy on me?

It's pretty funny that BYC is likely swamped with the word "lockdown" which is on the list

I was amused that probably 40% of the words in the first section can apply to handling guns for sport, and nothing else!
That probably means the gub'ment is spying on the forum that the other half is a member of... and probably this one too!

Not to mention over half of the FB and Twitter posts, etc. etc. If they REALLY check every instance of EVERY one of those words...they work A LOT It's so stupid...tax dollars at work..gotta laugh at the idiocy of such things.
Before I opened this thread I thought you had found the explanation of where the "Mind your p's and q's" phrase came from. It's actually pretty funny too. I think it's origin was Ireland pubs if i remember correctly. Liquor was served in p's and q's or as we know them pints and quarts. When a patron was getting too tipsy they were told they better mind their p's and q's...in other words, sober up a bit or slow their drinking
I am just full of useless information lately

Well heck. I've probably used half those words in the last week alone. After all, I live in New MEXICO, just butchered a pig so have a freezer full of pork and my girls are in 4-H shooting sports and they e-mail Grandpa with all the details. Which ammo and arrows they use, size of targets, distances....... They are probably reading this right now.

the funny farm6
Super Self-Sufficient
That's ok. I am sure I am on some goverment list at the pentagon somewhere. They are watching me anyway.
Last summer obama came to see the wind turbine factory 10-11 miles north of us. The week before the military started doing fly-overs and that included our farm. Wasn't so bad, a little annoying after the 5-6 th time each day, but 2 days before they got real low (10-15 times a day) and my arabian mare would spook- which made them all spook. Then the morning he came they were brushing the treetops and drove that mare threw the fence! They were low enuff that while I was out there trying to get her out of the wire wound around her legs I could hear them talking and laughing!! Well....I came kinda unglued, and yelled some bad things and flipped them off. They came back around and then left for good. Grrrrr. And these were the big hueys!
What did they they think, I was hiding an atomic bomb in my barn?
Surface to air missles up my donkeys a**?

I would have reported them. They're not supposed to do that sort of thing. Maybe if we took back the government, instead of letting it push us around, things would get better. After all, the politicians are supposed to work for us, and represent our interests, not the interests of big business and big farming.
