$%&*

[Hog On Ice]

$%&* is what you say when you are really not having a good time on the trail - it is pronounced something like "truck"

[SGT Rock]

LOL, I was wondering if we would ever get a definition under "Symbol"

[PushingDaisies]

ROTFLMAO :D

[Redbeard]

$%&* should not be uttered near smaller mountains, they're not old enough.

%&$! Is against the law to say in Michigan infront of woman and children. I read it today in an old backpacker magazine while I was sitting at work. $100 Fine and up to 90 days in Jail

"$%&*" is not always used in the negative sense.

The first time I walked up that buttbuster hill at Massey Gap to the ridgeline at Grayson Highlands. "This $%&*ing hill is kicking my arse" Then when you reach the top. "$%&*!!, this $%&*ing place is Awesome!!!!!"

When you can use it 5 times or more in the same sentence, then you are a master.

When ladies or childrens are around, I try to substitute "Freaking".

There used to be this funny MP3 about the use of the word $%&*. How it can be a noun, verb, adjetive, and adverb. It had examples how to use $%&* in sentences.

A true computer nerd would say fsck, instead of $%&*. fsck is actually a Unix/Linux/BSD system command meaning "File System ChecKer." That it looks like $%&* is a fortunate coincidence. We don't say fsck around Windows (tm) machines, as they aren't mature enough.

Anyone can pronounce the verbalized version that ends with a k. A true master can also pronounce the symbolized version of "$%&*". Try saying that five times real fast. :biggrin:

It reminds me of the movie "A Christmas Story"

"My father worked in profanity the way other artists might work in oils or clay. It was his true medium. A master"
AND
"My father could weave a tapestry of obscenity that I understand still hangs over Lake Michigan to this day"

Do you know if that law is still on the book for being active?

And, Sgt Rock, I remember that George Carlin (as Hikerhead informed us) great breakdown of the English structure for "$968*". Just one more step on my hiking education. :) Thanks. I may learn how to get around yet. Now can somebody educate me as how to get around on this site? And what would be classified a 'bad' day of hiking? I would most likely say freakin' - been saying it since I was in Germany back in '79-82.

Yes it is ! A canoeist found that out a few years back.

I am not sure by what you mean about getting around on this site but I would start here. http://www.hikinghq.net/ This is the main page and you can navigate from there.

A bad day hiking would be when you end up dead. Of course that is debatable also. :)

Sure say freakin'. I freakin' say freakin' all the freakin' time. Freakin' yeah!!!! :biggrin:

Ok, Rage, I went to that address. I have never been there before. Here are a few of my questions. Is the button on here for Post Reply the same as Post Quick Reply? And what if I hit Go Advanced? If I click on Quote I am taken to another screen. Then I'm at a loss. I see all the cute smiley faces and such, but I don't know how to obtain them. Newbies! What to do with us . . . age old question. :) Have I told you lately - thanks for all your help? Consider yourself told.
