Never heard of such a grandiose word - further proof that rhetorical grandstanding is alive and well on HOL.

A ventriloquist is someone who (makes it look as if he) talks out of his stomach (Lat. ventrum = stomach; loquo = talk). You must know this.

In Latin, "rectum" means "arse". You know that as well, no doubt.

Rectiloquism = talking out of your arse.

And yes, I made it up.

You're right however in that it should be "rectiloquist", an agent noun rather than a present participle.

HTH.

You mean loquor - the verb is deponent.

What? I made a perfectly valid point and you dealt with it by avoiding the question altogether and quibbling about one of the words I'd used. Nothing new about that I suppose.

You said you'd come to a view after seeing things on TV, then when we asked you a question, you denied having seen it on TV.

Own goal.

When you actually read what I say rather than quote inaccuracies you can spout gibberish like "Own Goal" and the like.

I said that in the tension of a match I can find decisions frustrating but then in the cold-light of day and/or after watching TV footage I might conclude that I was wrong or that I can see matters from the referees perspective and accordingly can have a differing viewpoint and perspective.

When I commented about NOT seeing an incident, all I said was that I haven't as yet seen any footage of the Zaha "Offside" incident which has drawn comment on here.If and when I see it then I can get a clearer picture in my mind.

What I HAVE seen is the Zaha penalty appeal and I do NOT believe that it warranted a penalty at all.Very theatrical indeed.

So you've seen the Zaha penalty bug not ghd offside. Surely by now youvd seen the offside. My guess is you will say something like 'in real time it looked offside and u can totally understand how the linesman didn't give it'. You will never, ever say that either a referee or linesman actually made a mistake. Which is why people give you such a hard time.
