A little double intendre

Terri-Ann. Thank you that was hilarious Until this discussion I had never heard the term before and being in an ex-colony I have owned British vehicles most of my adult life. So you can add New Zealand to that list.

I thought this thread had run its course and was dead but I am under the impression that this last post is aimed directly at me since I provided the answer to the original poster's question. And some people had some good natured fun with the term.

Personally I felt your posting is a bit mean spirited. The gentleman asked a question about origin of a term in common use among internet connected North American Series LR owners. I was there when the term was first introduced to to LRO email list and participated in the discussion at the time. So I felt obliged to answer his question as best as I remember events unfolding. If you were there and remember events unfolding differently, you are welcome to differ with my recollection. Criticize the information I presented if your memory differs but not the person who was trying to be helpful.

However I feel that calling me "a know it all" just because I was trying to answer a question about the origin of a local slang term as best as I could recollect is a bit over the top and contributed nothing to the thread beyond a certain meanness.

And yes I can be argumentative at times but I try very hard to stay away from mean spirited. But if you find my postings to be offensive please feel free to not read them or or disagree with the information that I am presenting (I'm not always right and sometimes misread the question) or complain to the forum moderators about them. I will always respect the moderator's recommendations.

This thread had had run its course. Really no need for a diatribe just because you felt jimsshuman may have possibly posted something "aimed at you".
