RAWR!
Funny thing is Neo, we had already stopped, and it appears your post has a possible catalyst to reignite the discussion.

Egg, meet face.

Is it really the quality you enjoy? Or the speed at which I can Google search for retarded images? Like a hotlink ninja....

Nah, just heated discussion. Jon and I don't really shitstorm on each other... anymore that is.
This is a nerd thread. Blame B9 for any nerding out that may occur.

"Corn-fed" of course means people who have have been fed on corn, for example most Americans and very few Brits. Since any self-respecting nerd knows this, and nobody has mentioned it, it's clear that the group have been practicing the OP's exercise in social engineering, and admirably well, too.

How come no one mentioned that we can just make up words and see if they become used by the general public? While we can also make up meanings.
Totally Lewis Carrol style.
Like miasmac'n'cheese.
When the smell of mac'n'cheese is so overpowering it infects your mind and distracts you.
Perhaps when living to long in the big city with its mass of activity and complexity they could use a good corn-feeding to help improve their lack of quietude and simplicity. It's also possible that corn-feeding could be related to being made to watch low budget horror and science fiction films from the 80's. Now we have a disambiguation.
I'm late to the show, but I don't care.
What exactly is a nerd urge, again?

"The Meaning of Liff" sits on the back of my toilet for anyone who wants to read such made up words.
