    The male person who is currently closest to you right now would be correct to take his cock out and slap you upside the head with it. People that can't take banter - Page 2 567798

    How? If someone never sees/hears a word again, how could it be 'too soon'? The correct sentence is 'If I ever see/hear...it'll be too soon', 'If I never...' is just meaningless.

    It's intentionally incurred though, it means soneones heard it so much that even if they never hear it again it will still be too soon.
    It's not, it's just one of those fucked up things like 'irregardless' which people who use out of habit or misinterpretation. How does a meaningless sentence emphasise your point?

    Yea, that's the point. Even never is too soon. He's not writing in prose (though I hesitate to call dena a poet Suspect )
    How can never be too soon?

    No, irregardless is a word that doesn't exist. Dena's phrase is intentionally employing a logical impossibility to demonstrate the extremity of his point. Thus, to a robot incapable of sensing cliche, exaggeration or figuratism, it is indeed a meaningless sentence. However, if you employ a little human interpretation, the point is clear: he never wants to hear or see the word "banter" again.

    Know your role.



    I know what it means, just talking shit to put a point across, but him saying the sentence makes no sense is still right.

    btw-even from a literal sense, you could argue that it makes sense, in as much as "never" is a point in time, just like "infinity" is a number. But we don't wanna be hear all day.

    Never is a point in time? Christ! It means not ever, ie. it will not happen. It's an incorrect phrase, simple as that.

    Misstated: it's a description of point in time that does not exist in reality. Unicorns don't exist in reality either but that doesn't stop little girls from talking about them.

    Anyway, the phrase demonstrates his point perfectly though. So you keep on reading like a robot and the rest of us will continue to exercise our creative loins free from the bounds of literalism. Smile

    Didn't see that this became a topic of discussion, but I'm pretty sure mela made my point for me with his quote so I'll leave it at that. People that can't take banter - Page 2 232912

    Tell me dena, were you poetically trying to emphasise your distaste for the word banter using a logical impossibility?

    Indeed I was.

    No but really, the phrase, while silly, is used to emphasize things of that nature (at least from my experiences) so I went with it.
