@Chris:

Is there some sort of open source e-reader?  I'd like to try reading books on my android based phone, but I have no desire to buy into a closed ecosystem, in case I don't like it.

And in the weird coincidence department, today my wife won a random drawing.  The prize?  A Kindle Paperwhite.  Guess I'm going to be going the Amazon route for ebooks…

The American insult "twot", is it the same as the British insult "twat"? Same meaning?

Why is the word "cunt" (apologies for such flagrant use) such a hammer blow in the US? Where I live it's a term of endearment/ nick name.

[mclaincausey]

Twot?  We sat twat. As in "twat?  Twat?  I cunt hear you."

The c-word is the nuclear armament of the American dialect. Call a girl that and everyone in the room is gonna hammer your ass. Call a guy that and he'll probably take a swing at you.

I'm just watching Banshee, and someone definitely called someone else a twot, and this is not the first time I have heard it used…... wondering if it is the same thing.

Any other A Bomb insults I should know for my next trip stateside?

[mclaincausey]

Ah mega, my bad–we do pronounce it that way, but we spell it the same.

I would just call everyone a tosser, it's fucking hilarious (i wish i could pull it off but you need the accent) and most people won't understand what you're saying. Other than cunt, racial and homophobic (aside from tosser) slurs are the only other things i can think of that are at that same a-bomb level here.

[Megatron1505]

Cool, I'll stick with tosser for friends, and cunting twat for anyone else 

[mclaincausey]

Those tossers may not know what the cunt a "tw@" is, you may find you need to call them "twots". But be sure to SPELL any such graffiti as "twat."

Thanks for the cunting advice you yankee tosser.

C*** in Australia, well my social level is a greeting. "Hows it going you cs" or " catch ya c"  . Now the last I heard a house mate say that to his mum and dad on the phone…

[Seul]

It's technically "cunce" in Australia innit?.. But y'know, "catch ya cunce" is catchy as fuck, fair dinkum!..

I need a recommendation I want a pair of black denim had the 634S-GR in a 40w. They no longer fit so I gave them to a friend who always admires my IH clothing. I don't want the 9634Z. Any recommendations on another cut for me?  I'm prob a 36w tts. All my 634 cuts are 38 and nice and loose now. I think I would like a slimmer cut.

IH-634S-B will be restocked soon.  Also doing a IH-634S-BLK and IH-666SB…

[grandmasterben]

Is the 634s-blk selvedge super black ? If so, sounds super good…

[Giles]

No, it is black sulphur dyed warp and natural weft…So identical to the indigo 21oz selvedge denim, but with a black warp

I saw this on Boss Talk.

Are these Japan only shirts? Seems they are anniversary hickory shirts.

[Giles]

Your link is not working (for me anyway).

Are you talking about these?

Yes, thank you. I suck at searching…

I miss my old Schott jacket, totally regret selling it. This one ends later today on ebay and I am considering if it is cool or not, should I buy it?

[natehate]

not feeling it mega

[seawolf]

Do you miss having a piece of your past, or do you still love the way the jacket looks? It looks a little dated if I'm being honest Gav. I think the clothes you wear today are much more classic and will stand the test of time better.
