Where is that pit bull thread when I need it?

I think my new boss is SaltyDawg. Once the guy says something out loud there is absolutely no amount of reason that will get him to back down from his position. It wouldn't be so bad except that his position is often ridiculous.

On a serious note, Salty, I just don't get how you seem to refuse to think about how the word is used in every day language. No matter what it says in a dictionary, I have never heard of non-weapons being referred to as weapons. I have heard of them being used as weapons, with the understanding that they are not in and of themselves weapons. It just seems hard headed to refuse to consider that you may be wrong. If even one other human being had agreed with you I would drop it... ok, I might drop it anyways after it stops being fun for me, but I have not heard anyone else approach the meaning of the word weapon like you.

You're asking Salty to use a little common sense. Ain't gonna' happen.

And of course there is the possibility that some people do speak this way, the multiple dictionaries got it right, and your little corner of the world is not representative of everyone.

By the way, armor is a weapon, and a horse can be a weapon too.

So there is a possibility that some people do not consider every object a weapon at all times. That is almost all people all the time. Definitely the subset that makes up this forum. So it sounds like it is your little corner of the world that is different from the rest. Pretty much everyone I know sees it far closer to the way spazz defined it than the way you do.

Well the dictionary defined it the same as me, so what can I tell you.

I'll bet in that corner, the motto is "Walk softly and carry a big noodle" because, well, you know.
