what you didnt understand that the phrase "stealing my thunder" means copy. it is an expression moron. only people who can comprehend everything that has been said can have a VALID opinion otherwise you end up looking like a moron for commenting on things when the meaning is lost on you. |

OMG!! you think I don't know why you said it? give me a fucking break. dude I hate to inform you that "stealing my thunder" means stealing the spotlight and what not. just cause you are so self righteous don't give you the ability to change the meaning of a cliche you fucking dumb ass........so who looks like the moron again? I think someone who don't actually know the difference between an expression and a cliche is the one that is a little behind and looks like a moran. does not surprise me that you think otherwise being as self righteous as you are. EDIT: before you get done posting I am only saying wrong cliche for your expression there. |

no stealing one's thunder does not quite mean to steal one's spotlight. it essientially means to copy one's actions in an effort to show someone up but it is more about the act of copying than stealing the attention. uh, you do realize that after an expression is used enough it BECOMES a cliche right? meaning most expressions are cliches. a cliche is pretty much an overused expression. so yea you're an idiot. |

yea I tried to edit before you finished but fuck it. what I was meaning was it was the wrong form of an expression to use to say "copying me" because "stealing my thunder" is expressing someone is trying to overshadow you and steal your light and attention. that is what lead me to even start up this argument because I was actually incredulous you would go there to say someone was taking your light/thunder. |

two things 1. stop trying to use a thesaurus to come up with synonyms for words. incredulous doesnt belong there, if you're going to do so you should REALL invest some time in picking suitable words. 2. i was joking in the first place, you just didnt realize it. (those floods suck horribly and theres no way they would take ANYTHING) |

hey dude fuck you!! define: incredulous *not disposed or willing to believe; unbelieving. now how the fuck you figure it don't belong there prick? you are fucking dumb man incredulous is not that big of a word stupid. from what you say there it would seem you don't know the meaning of it. and yea because your gangster rap flood is so much better right? you are unbelievable. |

i know the meaning of the word you dont 1. not credulous; disinclined or indisposed to believe; skeptical. 2. indicating or showing unbelief: an incredulous smile. so ill put it to you this way.
(skeptical means doubtful) see where im going here? not only that but it doesnt fit that sentence at all. one it doesnt sound right. two, someone who used it correctly would use it along the lines as such "that (noun) is incredulous". and thats not gangster rap either. |

Whoa..whoa..whoa.. Lets not get so defensive ok? I didn't say anything about you, I just said that astro made the, very obvious, points that I would've made. So therefore theres nothing for me to say. Calm the fuck down. |

learn to read the whole definition and not just pull what you want from it 1. not credulous; disinclined or indisposed to believe; skeptical. 2. indicating or showing unbelief: an incredulous smile. is the definition of incredulous |

dude do i need to point out how much this does not make any sense? "that (noun) is incredulous/skeptical" now remove incredulous and tell me that makes sense. it does not "that (noun) is skeptical" wrong dumb ass thats sounds retarded. here let me post the definition of the word again. define: incredulous *not disposed or willing to believe; unbelieving. now obviously that means unbelievable not skeptical. skeptical is having doubt about something incredulous is just not believing it period, no doubt. |

http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/incredulous Theres the definitions that the two of you are referring to. Astro's comes from a dictionary. Delete's from some random website, actually it seems to be a program, not an actual website. Sooo. You would've been better of just saying "I can't believe that you would go there." No point in using words when they are used incorrectly, stick with what you know. You don't get flamed as much when you take that route. O, and you can translate it into about 20 languages at the bottom, enjoy. |

http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/incredulous http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/incredulous http://education.yahoo.com/reference/dicti...try/incredulous http://www.hyperdictionary.com/dictionary/incredulous four seperate dictionary entries of the word incredulous. you picked out an incomplete definition. and i gave you a common form of a word such as incredulous, in your sentence the word didnt fit plain and simple (probably because you used it incorrectly). that form was not for the word skeptical. now before you go on a rant about my replacing incredulous with the word skeptical.... that was to prove a point. the word skeptical is a part of the definition itself and thus helps to simplify a definition. i used that word to show you how your sentence made no sence, notice it became a lot easier to see that once a more familiar word replaced it. i am aware that the word didnt fit the sentence, i made no effort to do so, i was making it easier for you to understand since definitions are lost on you. |

you both must have missed when I said I did infact use the word incorrectly because I told you what I thought the shit meant, big deal. I was saying that what you used it for was incorrect as well. I simply thought it was another word for unbelievable which it still means it in a way I just used wrong. you are right, I do need to stop trying to use words unless I am positive of the meaning. just for the record I can not click on any links at all, there is a admin restriction on my computer here at work, if you have any tips to get around that feel free to advise me. but how exactly is a definition "lost on me" do you mean "lost to me" because I checked and there is none on me. |
