The Gang of Five
Howdy, everyone!

As you know, the forum has been fighting spammers and bots for years. We have seen our fair share of "Custom Kitchens UK", scammy Internet hosting companies, and bots trying to send us to a business's homepage. But after fighting the tidal wave of spam for so many years, the admins had a persistent thought: what if the spammers are right? Not in terms of posting nonsense links and trying to scam our users, but in trying to make money through our unique platform?

Well, thanks to the helpful counsel of Taunt, we have finally decided to move the forum in a new direction. Please see his important post on the matter in this topic

pain - (I'm not certain, I think interjection can also mean if somebody shouts his or her approval or disapproval during a speech (like an interruption), but I'm not certain).

Direct from http://www.dictionary.com :

in?ter?jec?tion   Audio pronunciation of "interjection" ( P )  Pronunciation Key  (ntr-jkshn)
n.

   1. A sudden, short utterance; an ejaculation.
   2. Abbr. interj. or int.
         1. The part of speech that usually expresses emotion and is capable of standing alone.
         2. Any of the words belonging to this part of speech, such as Ugh! or Wow!


(Don't ask me why they put 'ejaculation' in there.  :blink: That has other meanings....)

ejaculate in this case means to exclaim or shout.
 Happy is a state of pleasure, usually gained through success of some sort, whether at school or in sports. I'm HAPPY that I got an A on the test.

Well yes, but it's better known for its other meaning. ;)

(that would be like if I wrote "gay" for the association to happy-these days it has a much more different meaning)

^There are some German words and phrases which can easily be confused for "different" meanings. Recently a statement of a prof over here send the whole course in a burst of laughter and (laughing himself) I called us (in most friendly a manner) "perverted swines"  ;)
