so close and yet so far.

DILLIGAF = do I look like I give a f--k

military slang no less but probably originating from the other side of
the pond to you.

I dont bother with all the piddly Usenet argot that seems to be some
sort of Secret Handshake necessary to bind certain groups of people,
so they feel good about themselves and lead them to believe they
"belong to something"

Shrug. Shorthand like LOL etc...commonly used are ok..but the Secret
Words of Power crap....snicker....

"Confiscating wealth from those who have earned it, inherited it,
or got lucky is never going to help 'the poor.' Poverty isn't
caused by some people having more money than others, just as obesity
isn't caused by McDonald's serving super-sized orders of French fries
Poverty, like obesity, is caused by the life choices that dictate
results." - John Tucci,

I agree it is a deliberate use of language of exclusion.

I have a recommendation for a cracker dog breed.
Jack Russell Terriers are the most intelligent of dogs. Feisty little
buggers with lots of character :-) The more miniature of the breed are
absolutely ace dogs. they have lightning fast reflexes and are quite
intelligent problem solvers ....for dogs. my two lasted 15 years.

The crazy, and the insane.
The first sign of insanity is denying that you're crazy.
