I think we need a sticky of roperisms with application examples

"Within a bees dick of failure"<= measureable, minimum service tolerance

"As much fun as a bucketfull of hemorrhoids" is my favourite.

Do they teach you guys these things in school, or is creativeness promoted so they come naturally?

:)

When you say "you guys", what particular group are you referring to ? Aussies, Old Farts, AussieOld Farts, Expat Englishmen with rusted on wit and Aussie colloquialisms, or a strange brew of all of the above living in a beautiful backwater of the capital city of the best country in the world ??? The wit displayed by our man is fairly common here, but his example does gave a slightly lower pH reading than most...

I was referring to Aussies, but the other choices are interesting too. :) Litmus paper indicates red around him, huh?

Well if we're going to get picky I suppose it should be a 'Drone's dick' but that too would be inaccurate as being an insect a bee only has a cloaca and no external genitalia.

That wasn't what I remembered from skool, so I looked it up. Almost sorry I did.

The flea, it seems, has got the contest won, relative to body size:

Far bigger than 'normal' fleas, a new breed has emerged which has a penis two and a half times the length of its body - the largest genitalia relative to size of any bug on the planet [source: http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/billions-super-fleas-giant-penises-8888941 ]

Here's some more that I can't repeat on WG, but the article is interesting:

https://www.wired.com/2015/02/50-shades-wrong-disturbing-insect-sex/

I'm assuming this is all within the rules, since it's not human, IS science, and could possibly expand Pete's imagery, if not vocabulary -- assuming he doesn't explode in midair, as is explained in the article.

I stand corrected, although I'm going to wait until this evening and I've had a drink before I delve into the netherworld of an article that references disproportionately large genitalia and explosive mid-air sex!

It's a page turner.

Acidic wit, but some could say caustic so maybe above 7...

Hmmm, maybe some buffer solution would keep him closer to 7.0. (beer?)

I have never used the 'bees dick' measurement, as it is such a large unit, compared to the universally accepted RCH, which is, I'm confident, the finest unit known to man.

dl.allen · « **Reply #40 on:** July 22, 2017, 11:31:06 AM »

I agree
When one experience something as close as RCH it usually comes with great fear and almost a near death experience afterward

Huzo · « **Reply #41 on:** July 22, 2017, 04:24:14 PM »

What's RCH?

I don't know either Huzo. Must be a northern hemisphere thing. <shrug>

You can easily find out by using Google to search for "rch meaning". :)

Better check your micrometers. I get.0015

Farmer Dan · « **Reply #47 on:** July 23, 2017, 06:46:20 PM »

Last "RCH" I checked was 0.0017" but it's hard to get a accurate measurement when they are moving
