What, if I may ask, is a Turpin?
Yeah, WTF is a Turpin --' A turp is something else though, you dumbass. Google the shit out of it.
Turpentine -_-
Dude chill, it was the autocorrect, I meant to type turp. "Dumbass"
Anyway, thanks 10.
Hihi ! I luvz trollin...
But use Google anyway.
35 - Where does Ray William Johnston come into the picture?
Johnson* Stupid autocorrect.
45 - Dumb foreigner.
I'll post this up here, because everyone gets a chance to read it that way (and it also answers #1's question). 'Turps' is an Australian abbreviation for turpentine, either wood turpentine, or the mineral kind that is called 'white spirit' in other places. It's the stuff you use to clean paint brushes. Although it can be used as slang for alcohol, in this context, it can only mean turpentine. It's the word you'd use 99% of the time when referring to the product. There - now no-one has to ask again, and we can all get on with our lives. Oh, and OP - WTF?! How could you not smell that a mile off?
RWJ is not the only one who uses the term trolling. Also #56 your a dumbass. You don't even know why he is saying that.
62 - You're*. I do know where it's from, I was trolling and it worked, because a dumbass responded according to. Hahaha. Moron, I win. Good game, no re.
South African too.
you should be able to smell that when u walked into the room. bloody hell mate.
Oh, while we're at it, judging from the questions below... Tea towel: Dish towel or dish cloth. The thing you use to dry off dishes after you've washed them by hand. Bench: Kitchen counter. The surfaces in your kitchen where you prepare and serve food. Man, I never thought such simple terms could possibly cause such confusion. You people really need to get out more.
Whilst - being a Brit - I call "dish cloths" tea towels, i've never come across anyone refer to a kitchen surface as a bench... Just actual benches and tables for woodwork/metalwork etc.
Here in the Southern USA we just call them dish rags and countertops.
Thanks #57, because my Google search came up with "Trans-urethral Resection of the Prostate" and I was thinking WTF??
I am Michigan. (the northern pennisula) and there is completely different slag for somethings that people from the lower pennisula have no idea what we are talking about and we are just a bridge away. Most of it is insults but some aren't. like washrag, wash (used instead of laundry), file 13 or bin (trashcan), hamper (laundry), tube (television), interwebs (internet), PocketFruit (Apple products) or saying youre traveling "up" no matter where you are going ( going up to Canada, going up to Mexico or Europe.)
Wow this is so nice because i'm french and theses comments help me to understand better thank you hehe :D
:-x
I know. turps killed all the sperm...
How do you not smell that before actually applying it to your face?! YDI
oh that is quite indeedly terribleriffic
You cleaned your face with a Transurethral Resection of the Prostate? That makes no sense.
lol... he's right though it does not make sense.
Turpentine is also known as "turps" according to wiki
Belle - it is indeed a real X-ray of a real patient of mine. It was a 12-ounce glass Coke bottle.
Wow! Where does one find Coke in glass bottles anymore?!
#47 - of all the possible FAQs Doc's picture brings up, I never would have guessed someone would have asked that one!
OCDC - it is quite possible, as you can clearly see by the picture. The butt of the bottle (no pun intended) was lodged over his sacrum, so I had to take him to the OR and put him under anesthesia to relax his rectum and anus enough to get it out. Sometimes people insert things so far that we have to actually go into the abdomen and make an incision in the colon. Fortunately, that's rare.
OCDC - his exact words were, "Doc, I'm not gay, but my wife is out of town with the kids, and I did a stupid thing."
He said he wasn't gay, but he clearly forgot to say "no ****", otherwise it would have been OK, and you guys could have laughed about it over a couple of brewskis.
Turps is Aussie slang for alcoholic beverages.
not always u dope. it's clear in this instance thats it's the product turpentine.
I can't recall having ever referred to one of my beverages as "turps". Although, I suppose I've called certain vodka home brews paint thinners, same thing. But never turps, and never as an everyday description of a cruiser or a beam or something. Where do people get these ideas from??
it's older slang. "we gettin on the turps tonight" is how u might use it. my dad often uses the term. lol bloody soak!
I have heard it used in like movies that poorly depict the Australian lifestyle...but pretty much only ever in the outback or whatever >.> never really in towns and cities.
Turps = Turpentine?
