Ever heard Russian white boys try to rap?  Big Grin 

One person told me "To be fair, the term means 'rhythm and poety'."  "No, ma'am, it means to lay down a line of bullshit."

(I was going to post a youtube of "The Rapper", a slam song about guys who do that very thing, from the '60s. But I couldn't wade through all the other references to "Rapper" that got in ahead of it.)

And never use idiotic phrases like, "double down."

And never, NEVER use replacement cuss-words. There is no such word as, "arse" or "shite" - at least not in American English. For fuck's sake, if you're going to cuss, then CUSS!
"Double down" is a betting term used in black jack. You show confidence in your hand by doubling your bet.
This one? Though I suspect not. And what young person has seen a record like this? Big Grin 



If you get to thinking you’re a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else’s dog around.
