Ohhhh! Now I see what you mean. Yeah, I’ve known 2 different dudes from Nigeria over the years but I don’t know anything about the culture.

Like, I know they have a world class soccer team & I’ve heard of their dictator from the 70s – Idi Amin – but that’s about it. And yeah, I guess the spam email thing too.

I’m trying to figure out if you have a misplaced modifier with “obscure, lesser known”. You have it modifying “country” in the title. In other words, you want musicians of any level of renown who come from a lesser known country.

However, you mention Fela Kuti, who is from Nigeria, which is not a lesser known country. You would have to be very ignorant of basic world geography to not have heard of Nigeria.

And, as usual, commenters are completely ignoring your criteria by mentioning musicians from Germany and New Zealand and Columbia and Vietnam.

So perhaps you meant obscure musicians instead of obscure countries, but that would still leave me wondering what subset of countries you intended? Just countries other than your own? But if so, I don’t know what country you are in.

He’s got 99 care-ofs but a percentage ain’t one.

All of these kinds of things are fictional sexual acts intending to be as crass and disgusting as possible. They are a form of adolescent humor.

These jokes are somewhat similar to The Aristocrats joke which has been around for years.

If “mildly infuriating” is just a synonym for “annoying” then I’d say this post nails the theme perfectly.

Wow. Gee whiz. My suggestions can’t compete with John Malkovich or Nigel Planer, but…

Some (maybe most?) Star Wars novels are packed with sound effects and electronic voice distortion effects. I’ve listened to Labyrinth of Evil, Darth Plagueis, and Path of Destruction.

Also, I recall being impressed listening to the Silmarillion and the narrator’s pronunciation. Sure, it was a professional production so they had to get it right, but still impressive to hear.

For Whom The Bell Tolls by Ernest Hemmingway is set during this period. Just a side note.

I’m not debating. It is not a matter of opinion. I’m doing you the courtesy of informing you how the entire rest of the world uses the term.

If action A looks for thing X, and it finds thing X, then the test is positive. If action A fails to find thing X, then the test is negative.

If action A claims to find thing X, but later confirmation determines that thing X is not really there, then this situation is called “false positive”.

If action A claims fails to find thing X, but later confirmation determines that thing X is actually there, then this situation is called “false negative”.

That thing X may subjectively be considered an unwanted outcome has **nothing ** to do with the terms used.

Just so you know, if your doctor calls and tells you that your HIV test is positive, you probably shouldn’t run out and celebrate.

When a group of American freedom fighters go to take over a U.S.A. military base and hesitant soldiers aren’t sure if they should follow a traitorous president or their oath to the Constitution, the American freedom fighters being well-armed will make the difference.

Please tell me that you are mistaken.

Sega should should start a meatspace cab company and their fleet is operated remotely by players in the game.

If everyone should learn to read, it would not only ruin writing but thinking as well.

Let me tell you a tale about downloading erotic jpeg files over 28k modems and stitching them back together, in which the image file was split into pieces, uuencoded and posted on Usenet.

In the 90s there was this purple dinosaur from a children’s TV show that everyone seemed to hate. I don’t know anything about him or why we were supposed to hate him. To know anything about him you would have to have watched a show for 3 year olds, so if you did that then you deserve to be annoyed by it. Right?

I feel you and what everyone is doing annoys me too, but our only recourse is to do something worse.

My proposal: we start calling our cock “corpora cavernosa”.

Examples:

• “Hey, Chumley, don’t just stand there with your corpora cavernosa in your hand.”
• ”He’s being a total corpora cavernosa!”
• ”My corpora cavernosa got pinched by my zipper.”
• ”Hey, bro, does my corpora cavernosa hook off to the right?”

In case non-native English speakers don’t understand.

The word “murder” is an old legal term meaning: unlawful killing of a person. This implies that there are lawful ways to kill a person. Slang usage of the word “murder” is less precise.

A proper translation of the Bible’s 10 Commandments prohibits murder, that is, don’t kill anyone in a way that your tribe forbids. It does not prohibit every kind of killing of people, that would be ludicrous. This is why those Christians who have the viewpoint of 100% no killing of people are misguided.

We are in our suffix-punk arc. We’re such word-pilled portmanteau-maxxers.

They are named after the hero who goes back in time to save Sarah Connor from the Terminator.

Also, you are too old to be picking on school children.

Same, but a year ago.

Also, Temu has tried to take all the shopping search results from Bing/DDG. So those results are trash now.
