Go to Post DEKA is right next to the river, and when i got there this morning they wouldn't let us into the building, but apparently there is and standing water on the first floor. The ironic thing is that i work on the water project and we can't deal with a bit of water on the floor - Greg Needel [more]

Just Playing! I can't think of any phrases off the top of my head, but the ones posted so far are pretty good.

Re: FIRST Dictionary of Mispronounced Words and Strange Phrases

How about the most annoying, most aggravating, most incorrectly used words in the written English language?

your - "you are" as in "your about to lose"

you're - a possessive, as in "you're robot is falling apart"

NOTHING AGGRAVATES ME MORE THAN WHEN I SEE THAT. Massive quantities of government funding should be allocated to eradicate this evil from our midst permanently.


2nd place - its vs. it's

Re: FIRST Dictionary of Mispronounced Words and Strange Phrases

I dunno. Dont you think thats a bit overstated? You can also add "we're" vs. "were" to that. Just plain wrong.

Dunno [duh'·no]- Really dumb abbreviation of "Don't Know". Please avoid at all cost. It makes you sound like a retard in real life and online.

Re: FIRST Dictionary of Mispronounced Words and Strange Phrases

Are Robot is gunna kick you're Robots but.

Sometime's, I wonder just how litarite some people is.

Getting back to the topic at hand (FIRST-inspired words):

Ham-mah = any tool used to beat an uncooperative component. The bigger the Ham-mah, the better.

Ball of Justice = given the high school mentality and the 2006 game, this is self-explanatory.

Blinky Thing = light-emitting diode

Round Toothy Thing = sprocket

Mr. ...Um... = Taylor

I like (and have used for many years) the big and little "Chalupa" motors.
