I’ve known several people in my life who’ve had their “Frens” snipped. Some people are thought to be “tongue tied” due to the “Frens” being extended to far towards the tip of the tongue. (Frens lingua)

Now, why or how would those conversations ever come up? LOL When I was a kid, my Brother talked me into putting my tongue on a frozen metal flag pole. Then, after I had been crying for a minute or so, he “helped” me pull it free. (bastage!) My “Fren” got stuck between my lower teeth and ripped. Now my tongue appears to be much longer and, I often (even at my old age) accidentally bite it. Oh, could I tell you some stories-like the time I bit it at a Taco Bell and they called 911. lol

Wouldn’t it have been cheaper to just knock her teeth back?

She's going to be very popular.

Seriesly, the procedure described sounds extremely minor. The Daily Mail must be tired of covering the riots.

With frens like this...

Reminds me of a stand up routine by comedian Bobby Collins;

"So I'm on an airline flight from New York to LA. I was given a bag of peanuts by the stewardess. I was very hungry so I devoured them. In my haste, I bit my tongue....really bad. The pain was so excruciating that I rose from my seat and start 'dancing' in the aisle.

Another stewardess approached me and asked, "Is something wrong sir?"
I had tears in my eyes when I replied as best I could, "Ah bibbed by tunnnn!"

She looked at me for a moment and then said, "I didn't get that."
I tried again, "I...bibbed...by...tunn!"
"Ohhhhh.." she said and turned to the rest of the passengers and said, "Does anyone speak Spanish?"

An older gentleman raised his hand, stood and approached the stewardess.
"Eez dere a problemo, miss?" he said.
She said, "Yes, this man is trying to tell me something and I can't understand him."
The man turns to me and says, in Spanish "What is the problem?"
Still with tears rolling down my cheeks, I try again, "I bibbed by tunn!!"

The Spanish gentleman turns to the stewardess in frustration and says, "I cannot help you. Deez man is speaking French!"

<oh_really?>

[TheOldLady]

Oh, you just didn't feel like the extra keystrokes, huh... Sorry. I thought you already knew that.

[TheOldLady]

Did you notice that for a few weeks up until about a month ago, you could just type the < and > without using the code or inserting spaces? But they "fixed" that, and now if you do,                    !

Unfortunately.

What’s more rock ‘n’ roll than a guy who can preen his eyebrows with his tongue?

[RabidBartender]

"I would say she added an Inchon. "

[Slings and Arrows]

About 50/50 each way. Seriously, thanks for the tip.

Autodetect is so sensitive that sometimes it detects HTML you haven’t even written.

[TheOldLady]

My pleasure, sweetie.

[TheOldLady]

It’s so sensitive that sometimes it gets confused.

[Lazamataz]

I’d hit that.

[Slings and Arrows]

UNNNGH!

[Slings and Arrows]

Must be a liberal.
