Whoopi say's Mel ain't racist?

It's vitally important that you get that point across. I suggest you repeat it, because it really matters. (poked again, will he respond?)

Words can and often do specify criteria for membership, like how marriage is specifically between a man and a woman. gaggle being for geese not dogs illustrates the same language principle. Thanks for this platform.:good4u:

Sure, not a problem. I think you'd like the gaggle of dogs at my house, they are goofy-like humorous and enjoyable pets. I also think you'd like my pack of goats.
 
You should make a thread about how important it is to use the correct word to describe groups of dogs and how language never changes. It could be the ultimate work on language.
 
OMFG... I have been on vacation in the mountains for a week, and this 'argument' is STILL going on! ....None of you HAVE A LIFE! LOL
But you have to answer the most importantest question ever, one that is haunting all of us like a herd of peacocks run over by a flock of elephants, and one that cannot be refudiated... ;)

Would you say, "Gaggle of dogs"?

I would never say "gaggle" of dogs. I would probably say "pack" of dogs, since that is what a "group" of dogs is commonly referred to as, in the English language. If I were some foreigner who didn't fully understand the language, or some illiterate idiotic moron, I might say "gaggle" of dogs, but even in that case, I would more than likely just say "bunch" or "group" instead of "gaggle."

I could cut someone a little slack and not consider them moronic, if they called a group of swans a "gaggle" because at least swans are somewhat similar to geese. I might also make an exception if they misused "gaggle" to identify a group of ducks instead of geese, or in a 'sarcastic' connotation, to refer to a group of old ladies as a "gaggle." Otherwise, I agree with AssClown, it's an all-time classic illustration of your stupidity, and should be forever immortalized as such.

I still can't believe this debate is continuing after a week. It has to set some kind of record for obtuse stubbornness and hardheaded arrogance, that you are still perpetuating an argument. Could we possibly have a contender to knock off the infamous "1/3 Debate?" Perhaps!
 
It's funny BECAUSE it's wrong. Gaggle of dogs, that is. Funny due to wrongness. :good4u:
Yes. It is funny because it is wrong. That's my kind of humor though. It takes knowledge from those who hear it, it assumes they are capable of understanding the joke itself. Which doesn't change that I would, and will, say things like "gaggle of dogs" and "pack of cows"... because it makes me chuckle.

Kind of like "Secular Marriage", that one however is an oxymoron, a different sort of "wrong"...

Yes, you've identified a similar phenomenon.

ANd you chuckle to yourself even, because it's wrong. You like absurdism in daily living.
 
It isn't funny if you have to explain. Anyway, I think you should talk more about the important issue of the day, gaggles of dogs. (Because it makes me chuckle).

But comedy can be explained.

I find it funny because it's wrong and absurd. I attribute the comedy to the absurdism of knowingly using words wrong.

You're too cool to talk about it. You're a real smug pig fucker aren't cha?
