Mongoloid: "It's a medical condition. It's not a slur." He persisted with this opinion even after being corrected by the chat.

retard its a medical condition not a slur

 

[Haunter]

exceptional individual its a medical condition not a slur

The condition is used as a slur, it's not an either/or sorta thing (though calling someone a "Mongoloid" may be regional). It's like "Water head". The condition Hydrocephalus literally means "water head". The name of the condition then became used as a put down.

(Also, please don't insult other forum users )

gout, it's a medical condition
not a slur

 

[Sparkletor]

Talking about Jasper, Phil kept saying he lives in a cathouse. I don't think that word means what Phil thinks it means. Let's look it up.

Cathouse = a brothel

OK, cool. Trading insults can really unravel a thread fast, so I try to shut it down as soon as I can.

Sorry for the misunderstanding, dood

Let's look at the medical conditions Phil makes fun of.

Idiot- It was formerly a technical term in legal and psychiatric contexts for some kinds of profound intellectual disability where the mental age is two years or less, and the person cannot guard himself or herself against common physical dangers. The term was gradually replaced by the term profound mental retardation

Moron-Moron is a term once used in psychology and psychiatry to denote mild intellectual disability. The term was closely tied with the American eugenics movement.

"raw and uncut gameplay footage" always seemed to be a very poorly phrased choice of words. It's only a few words away from "raw and uncut Italian sausage"

Or maybe Philip let slip what Kat actually does for a living...

I laughed hard when that happened. Pure DSP gold.

"Full day of gameplay"

An hour of bullshit. 2 hours of gameplay. Half hour break. Another three hours of games. 3 hour break. Half hour of bullshit. Hour and a half of bitching with 30 minutes of actual gameplay in between.

Full day of fun.

 

[Raven'sChild]

D$P couldn't go to the pumpkin patch on his day off because it started raining and the pumpkin patch would have turned into "a bog". He stated that "we'll try again next week, but we don't know. Next week it looks like we already to have multiple appointments on our day off."
Appointment: Something one plans to do.

 

[millais]

At one point in the big $20 rant, he said something about how whenever he makes a mistake, detractors think they have "open season" to attack him. I guess he lacked the advanced vocabulary to say "carte blanche"

So where did he end up spending his rainy day fund?

 

[Sparkletor]

"Friend"- someone who gives you money or the ability to make money, and when they are no longer interactive or need help themselves, are disposable.

 

[hauser]

cheating: enemy player/NPCs adequately using core game mechanics, specifically programmed into the game by the developers, to whoop your ass at the game

 

[Squire of Gothos]

Cumin, or as Dark pronounces it "COOMIN"

 

[actually]

Cumin, or as Dark pronounces it "COOMIN"

Is this not an accepted pronunciation, along with something like "kee-yu-min" (drawn out here, but say it faster)?

 

[Squire of Gothos]

I'm not sure the technically correct pronunciation, at least from where I'm from it's pronounced with the "q/kee-yu" sound in the beginning. The way DSP says it he has a more of a "koo" emphasis in the beginning like he's trying to add unnecessary emphasis to the letter "u" or say the word cuckoo (koo-koo). This could be more of an east coast dialect thing that it is a DSPism but I found it somewhat amusing, especially since he was responding to a question about how he has sex with Khet.
