Perhaps a gender thing? If a man tells me he had a fight with someone I'd assume it's physical.
If a woman tells me she's had a fight with someone I'd assume an argument.

A fight is a fight, an argument is an argument. Why are people trying to confuse the issue?

A fistfight is a fistfight. Why are people trying to confuse the issue?

It's modern, and it allows Russ to express his escape from the shackles of the mother country by mangling the language to the point that it loses all meaning, such that he can blame us for wanting words to actually mean something.

Tricky steps fully into the Farage Against The Machine role.

Look I'm not massively tense about it, but the whole thing started from the initial statement being imprecise and requiring clarification.
By all means, be as imprecise and meaningless as you want to be. After all, its one off the few rights you have left. Which may be pertinent here. These desires to be different often spring from impotence and a desire to rebel. Big 'I', small 'r'. Normally seen most in teenagers, but here we are in this brave new world.
Calling me what you did is just rude and totally wrong. If anything I'm the old fogey/establishment in this. This is the problem when the Russians have put whisks in our ears and turned the mixers on. Lack of critical thinking. I wouldn't accuse anyone here of being a frog faced Russian stooge for destabilising fascist division.
Not even ingo.

Appealing to misguided nationalism is appealing to misguided nationalism.
-
And "imprecise" is fine. Implying that it was "wrong" is not.
-
I think it's only Russ who did that. I just want words to mean something. I don't care who uses them, on what continent, what they identify as, what fake god they worship, or who they bend the knee to and fund to remain better than them.
I just want an average chance of knowing what the fuck they are on about.
Now get those whisks out of your ears.
-
Well, by that definition I have many fights per week.
I've not had any fights.
-
Whisks in ears. Words can have different meanings based on context.
Just because you think you are immune to the whispers of media, Russia, Murdoch, nationalism etc doesn't mean you are.
-
I absolutely do not think I'm immune. We are all the products of our societies. Which is why we must be ever critical and vigilant.
Unlike many of my compatriots I don't think we are in any way special. Just that we have been programmed to think that as part of an instrument of control. I understand that in the current climate any cartoon irony that is aimed to rib Russ, or chic, or plastic Australians [winky woo], may be problematic. But let's not let them steal our childish humour.

Thankski veryski muchski, budski.

The wife has just been to the shop and asked if I wanted anything. I asked for chocolate, to be fair I didn’t specify what but a nice block bar of something for the evening would have been nice.
She’s come back with a Toffee Crisp, I’m very underwhelmed and quite disappointed TBH.
-
I do like a Toffee Crisp, but they do take about 20 seconds to eat.

Not really mundane for him, Facebook tells me that @Sean has a wedding to plan.
Congrats sir!
