Snoopy, I know this will sound childish, but I’m ready to match my English with yours anytime, anywhere and in any way you like.

Just say the word.

[Daphne – Going to turn up in a mask and false moustache, are you? You know where you can borrow a wig or two.]

Daphne, maybe he (Twanny) uses the word and does not even know what it means – seeing the level of intellect of these moderates and progressives, I would not be surprised!

You are right about “big” versus “old” in English. Not about Maltese, of course, as there are plenty of ways to differentiate between the concepts.

[Daphne – Nobody is suggesting that you did, Twanny. And quite frankly, I don’t see why you’re bothered about clearing your name. After all, it’s false.]

Do you have the common decency to explain the reference to “sperm”?

[Daphne – Posters are what teenagers stick to their bedroom walls with Blutack. Big, in the English language, refers to size and not age, unlike impoverished Maltese which uses the one word for both. I’m quite sure you know what sperm is in Maltese and don’t need me to explain to you how this features in the arguments of the sort of people who would vote for Joseph Muscat.]

cluck cluck

[Daphne – No, Twanny, I’m not. It’s not my problem if the average Labour supporter requires the deployment of sperm in countering an argument, making it necessary for me to delete it.]

You have now completely and utterly convinced me that your brain has fewer neurons than that of the Caenorhabditis elegans worm.

Mela kien John Bencini li belhek, u llejla stess? U hawn jien qed nahseb li kont iblah diga.
