I don't think she has since what I stated about the corset does make people laugh in England. So, I am getting the impression that you can be an atheist here, but if you don't agree with your political stances, then whether your atheist or not, you will always be wrong. I'd prefer to be atheist and be capable of speaking my mind than be a sheep following others.
While we're talking about words with loose meanings, "to troll" can mean something serious (like being inflammatory) or to generally be giving someone shit.
I didn't understand the joke because, surprise, not all idioms or humorous statements are going to translate even when both countries speak the same language.
No one is persecuting you here, and I don't need their help - they're all quite aware of it too.
You do realise that people have fractured their ribs through laughter? You were "hollering with laughter", so I thought I would add a humorous quip
definition of quip:
Quote:A quip — a short, witty comment — can be pleasant, wise, or sarcastic, but usually carries an element of humor. A quip, often taken as a sign of cleverness, is a witty remark that sounds spur-of-the-moment.
If you didn't see the smile at the end, then there is no hope and I don't even know why I am discussing it with you if you cannot tell the difference between a troll and a quip.
