Is Gah! inane?

Actually, Plato would've known pirates, not the ARgghh, rum parrot and sabre types, more like bandits on the sea.

Of course not, you've just exclusively used quotes from him to shed light on all of our situations, including in your signature.

Actually, I haven't exclusively used quotes from him: only as it applied to denizens of the cave or to give reference to a point on his thought.

Even were one to allow that every time I quote it is Plato that still would have no baring on your charge.

The gaggle speaks.

I don't know that "gaggle" is the right word. Are we really geese? How a bout pod, sleuth, herd, triumph or pack? The geese reference seems awfully specific.

Oh, and in case I didn't say it this post, GAH!

If "gah" is not a word and makes you retarded by saying it, then what about Mr. Pindar for example getting hurt and crying something like "aargh!" or "ouch!"? Does that also make you retarded? Is that also inane?

You're right, deductively I could not come to any conclusions from that. You're probably just taking quotes relating to the most fundamental nature of humankind, so in that way Plato remains relevant. But its strange that you are saying "the gaggle speaks" when all Socratic speaking traces its origins to that one famous plebian... in stark contrast to almost all other important pre-Socratic Greek thought, woven by real noblemen.

Pod was definitely an option. The single syllable has style, but gaggle has a better ring to it given the "g" in gah. Plus, its better rhetorically.

Gah, doesn't make one retarded. It's opting for it in polls that does.

Why would someone say "aargh' when hurt or crying? Are you thinking of hurt or sad pirates?

Ouch is a word.

Why do you refer to Socrates as a plebian given he wasn't Roman?

All people who have opted for 'Gah' in a poll, please post your IQ's, SAT scores, university degrees, GPA's psychiatric records, and diagnoses for any sort of mental retardation...

I had written "plebe" before but in my desire to soften a blow I committed an error... won't make that mistake again it seems. "Plebe" is often used as slang to refer to a person of the lower class, as in "That poet is a plebe who is bleeding on the street". It can also refer to the lower class as a whole.

I was thinking of hurt, if you want the correct sound, you can take a knife and hurt yourself in some way, then you´ll know what exactly it sounds like...~;)

I see. So, you don't like Socrates' common touch?*

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

Note: the coming of the gaggle or its identification has nothing to do with aristocratic blood lines. I'm a citizen of the new world where such folly was long ago rejected.

I see. Of course, we wouldn't want to assume that all sounds are words.

Nasty imagery by the way. :ahh: ~:eek: :ahh:

Foiling is your genius. Shall I abandon such wisdom due to my pity state of being retarded, sire. What's more relationships are matters of luck than anything else as I am sure you are already enlightened about. So no worries may you fall into, master. You are a totem of attraction and wisdom, I do not think it will take long before you come across with true love.

Yes...Yes...We have heard it all before. :rolleyes:

Amazingly, I don't feel "shackled" by dogma. I respond to polls without Gah. I also choose Gah as an option, when the poll choices offer less than satisfactory choices on issues that are far from black and white.

I did not come at you with such passion because you had left off Gah from your poll. I looked at it at first, and was uninterested by the subject, but when I saw I your arrogant comment of "Gah is for the retarded"...I spoke up.

So now it is your mission to defend retardation? Do you defend pig latin and ebonics as well or only retarded sounds?

That is the traditional subject matter. Its use was to indicate the conditions to meet the proof had been met. If you use Q.E.D. as a rejoinder to my post #47 then you are agreeing the stance was sufficiently demonstrated. Is that what you want to do?
