More Inane Imbicility from the Billious Bastards at Team Rankings

[Texas008]

These misguided people continue to believe that we will lose two (2) more conference games. Their forecast includes an almost certain loss at Ames to Iowa State, and another loss to either TCU or Baylor on the road. I don't think there is a chance in hell we lose another game.

A true sesquipedalian knows that bilious is spelled with one L. But @freeper will allow the spelling gaffe and I appreciate your reminding me that this word exists.

You see that's your problem right there trying to use all them Big Words when something simpler and more understood will work, Bad spelling is a disease, in fact all them weird PhD's do this shit to impress students of their intelligence, which is sending the wrong message that they are Superior more than others and then they step out into the Bathroom and blow a joint and take a hit of Vodka, I recommend the book Spelling and You! clob...

The alliterative effect is more dramatic with 2 L's, and I claim poetic license that it looks better in prent...

But that is beside the point: What do you think about these a$$holes predicting that we will lose two more games?

Well I'm the first to admit that I do not possess a Ph.D but I will take a shot at it. Loosely translated, FBH says that professors are overly fond of jargon that they use to impress young minds full of mush. That said professors pretend to be virtuous pillars of the academy in front of a theater full of students, only to retreat behind the polished oak door of their office in order to enjoy a flask of Comrade Stalin's favorite adult beverage. Said beverage is complemented by a moment of communion with the Native American spirits dispossessed of this land, when our virtuous instructor engages in some herbal botanomancy of the sort favored in Berkeley and Boulder.

If my translation is correct, I have to admit, FBH is largely correct....

That is not a bad translation, but what really scares me is the fact that I think I may agree with it.

He’s saying why use a big word when a diminutive one will suffice?
