ASTEROID Drops? Don't be gauche! It's all about the MEMES. Big Grin

Quote:The sergeant looked askance at his platoon, who all seemed to be performing some strange pantomime.

"Just what in this man's Army are you DOING?"

The sergeant paled. "Good Lord, we've been meme-bombed by LOLCATS!
''We don't just borrow words; on occasion, English has pursued other languages down alleyways to beat
them unconscious and rifle their pockets for new vocabulary.''
