I think that we can all agree that 'fight' is at best imprecise, and largely hyperbole unless it actually involves twatting someone.
-
Can we?
-
Well that meaning would require also being twatted. If Russ had just punched a colleague, there's entirely different terms for that

Is this the TalkBack "jump the shark" moment?
I don't think so, I'm confident of bigger jumps and bigger sharks in the future.

It's a very typical and boring argument that rears up with irritating regularity as the little Englanders go all King Canute and demand that the world obeys their antiquated and often plain incorrect definitions of what constitutes correct and incorrect language, because their ageing brains struggle with the concept of evolution or difference. See also football, music, clothing, and pretty much everything else. Change. Is. Bad.

Projection, and quite a stretch at that.
You might observe that even Yankee doodle dictionaries do not have as the first definition of 'fight' to be to have cross words.
What do you think fight means? Maybe you've misunderstood its meaning? If someone told you that they had a fight, what would you think had happened?
-
Man, I'm not going to argue you with over the words that are literally written on the page we're both looking at.

A guy put up posters round SW Sheffield with a QR code which took you to a "Dad's Club" WhatsApp group. He recently moved to the area and didn't know anyone and decided to do something about it. They've had a few pub meets which I've not been able to go to, but I am currently on my way to one now. Lovely evening for it. Hopefully they aren't all twats.

Name your source. Was it specially selected, or the first sourced most authoritative. Or did you just get RC to knock up a paint?
... And what do you mean argue? Surely you mean fight?
-
Anyone else thinking this could be last we hear from Jim?
-
Yes. I invented it. You win.
-
You literally didn't use it above, in the way that you said it should be used.
Hence exactly the point. It's not the word most people would go to for an argument. It's the word most people would go to for a physical confrontation.
Accepting as I am that the modern view of a deeply intrusive physical confrontation is just looking at someone funny.
Anyway, as you say. It's covered when you said fight, you meant the absolutely most timid interpretation of the word.
That's fine.

I tried guys.

Seriously. It's the mundane moments thread. What were you hoping for?
-
We need a Soporific Moments thread.

I think we need a Groundhog Day thread
