Disliking Darcy Snr is kind of like disliking Simple Jack.

Simple Jack hey ...... who is he?
I know Mad Jack, Auntie Jack, Jack be nimble, Jumpin Jack Flash, Jack n the Beanstalk, Jack Doff , Jackenory, Jack in the box, Jack and Jill, Jack of all trades, Jaclk Russell, Jack and Diane, Gelignite Jack, Fowlhouse Jack, Jack Daniels, she got the Jack, Jack Thompson, Jackjumpers, Jack Nicklaus and Wacky Jacky McDonald ...... but no Simple Jack

[berniemccarthy]

Language evolves, versing is now perfectly acceptable vernacular.

Nah. That not evolution it’s ignorance and lack of education. Laughable suggestion.

 

[ferball]

I think berniemccarthy would prefer the thread title to be corrected by replacing the made up term, "versing" with the correct term, which is, "againsting".

Do that and bernie will be angsting.

 

[DunderHead]

No. That would be writing verse.

Versing: The Old Meaning​

“Versing” actually was a verb about poetry before kids started using it the way they do today. The Oxford English Dictionary has it being used as far back as the year 10001 to mean “to compose or make verses.”

 

[hilly]

When mofo. When.

I honestly think we would beat Brisbane before the Dogs. Too...fast and too tall up forward.

 

[Ocha905]

Good to have footy back but I'm taking nothing from preseason.

Last year we toweled up the Pies and Northball was our ticket to the promised land.

There's been plenty of examples of both poor and good preseason form not mattering.

 

[Gasometer]

It's right up there with lose and loose. And people these days using bet instead of beat.

I’m glad you bought this up

 

[DuckYeah]

Dogs by 54 points.

We arent going to get close. That pissant diving campaigner up forward will kick a bag and we will be pantsed across our half forward line on transition.

I know this because the same players who do not provide an ounce of pressure on defence will be in the team.

 

[DuckYeah]

Umm yep.. I obviously erased that from my memory.. oops..

Getting caught up in our ripping pre season form, players that could be knocked over by a string breeze putting on 8kg’s because of a photo, Darling our saviour... ohhh boy, its long way to fall when you build up so much hype. Parker will make some difference but its not his onfield performances that he will benefit the team. LOL this year is going to be hilarious.

 

[Better Loosen Up]

Language evolves, versing is now perfectly acceptable vernacular.

It shouldn't be. Our dictionaries are currently being re-written as we pander to people who obviously didn't pay enough attention in school. "I bet you the last time we played against each other" will never be acceptable to me, nor should it be.

[Ether]

Would versing be the act of creating a verse?

No. Versing is actually a word. It means reading up on / educating oneself on something. "I was versing myself in Russian history", or something like that.

 

[Ether]

His and he’s. Does my head in.

Haha. There are too many to list. I reckon my favourite on bf is wrapped / wrapt / rapt.

 

[Better Loosen Up]

Nah, for me, by far, it's lose and loose. I swear more than 50% get this wrong.

Lose = lose a game
Loose = These pants are too loose on me.

To be fair, Better Losen Up, a few of those could be typos. (Sorry. Couldn't help myself.) I'm sticking with rapt. It's misused so often that I actually raise an eyebrow when someone gets it right.

See it far too often for it to be typo's

Your not the only one.

Whose did you think it was?

 

[Samsquanch]

Typo's

But nouns require an upper case.

Unless they were ironicing.

C'Mon Mate. This is not how you do preseason BigFooty. Where the past is forgotten. Optimism and hope sets in. Suddenly players who have previously struggled have immensely improved and have taken the next step. The guys look bigger and stronger. Training standards have been set. Look how they looked in match sim! Awesome! :stern look
