I've always told people when they prefaced a question with "this is a stupid question..." by saying there are no stupid questions, just stupid people. It gets a laugh. So I've always been careful of not saying this may be a stupid question. But, I think I have one.

What does god speed mean? I hear it all the time and have no clue.

    I never thought to look in a dictionary. I thought if was a phrase. Not a word. Thanks.

    I guess that's why it was a stupid question....

    Here is a stupid question...if someone calls you "sweetheart" right before they rip into you...would you take it as condescending?

    Condescending? Yes! God Speed is a phrase wishing one well upon departure. It literally is shortt for May God's Speed Carry You Safely Home. Although there are tons of variations of the phrase.. In other words get to your destination safely and quickly.. This was back in the day when formal greetings were almost paragraphs long!! I forget all the shortening a of it, but another variation of this eventually became Good Bye. Just like Hello has it's own totally off the wall origin! Lol

    Correct whispering. I'll even add with my travels through the Middle East, they say "Allah ma-hak" translating to "god be with you."

    Stupid question:

    Does giving your significant other a "Dutch Oven" and it not ending the marriage / relationship signify true love?

    If your significant other would tolerate that from you. You'd better keep him/her. I for one, would end it in the spot!

    It was great! I was running the tamp set AND the cold press, so everytime we'd change out molds, I had to call for different temps of steel, so eventually I just started called out the temp number by the number followed by the request. I.e. If I needed 26 temp, I'd yell 26 steel! Well my feeder guy was this pessimistic asshole, and everytime I'd yell for steel, he'd say that's what ghey're doing, ( meaning the company was ripping us all off). And I was already in a bad mood over missing a home show not much more than an hour from me! So I ripped into him, starting with halts maul! Then later, I laughed about it! But one of the ladies behind us on the de-bur line busts out laughing and tells her other little Mexican friend, she just say shut up in German. So they all start laughing! I'll tell you what might happen today when I get home! Lol

    Stupid question:

    If the band Pearl Jam plays Dirty Frank in Germany, could they change the lyrics a bit?

    That dirty Frank was a bad mother...
