Me, driving through town with my music up LOUD!

It was a bangin' choon and I couldn't help but crank it up.

WTF is a 'choon' ?

What do you think it might be given the context?

Something that makes you look like an even bigger knob than trying to claim credit for ?

I'm sorry, I must be a little dim today, I'm not sure what this reply means? I'm not trying to take credit for anything, why would I? I just suggested that it was relatively easy to work out what 'choon' meant by the context it was being used in. To be fair, this might be more difficult than I thought as I have assumed you know what bangin' and crank it up means, and if you don't, then it's not as easy to work out from the context. If that is the case, I apologise. As for the evolution of language, that's a big topic for another day and one close to my heart... have a great day man, peace and love, gbn x

It's called sarcasm, I can easliy guess what 'choon' means but if someone wants to use some sort of steet slang like they're "cool/trendy/wiv it bro" then people will think they're a bit of a knob .
Bit like me walking into my local and saying 'hey Steve, how ya doing, give me some skin, hive five" rather than 'Hi Seve" you'd think I was a knob.

Though I could have 21st Centuryman wrong as he's currently planning to drive to Japan which is a pretty cool thing to do.

So someone nominates themselves as a knob and the lnguage they use makes then seem even more of a knob.

It's probably a Northern thing (Lancashire ) and please dont say " have a great day man, peace and love" makes you sound like a hippy, unless you are a hippy!
Though you might be okay in Manchester where you can call anyone 'love' or 'duck' and not get locked up



For you Southerners 'duck' is a term of enderment not an action, unless of course you're at a cricket match and the balls heading towards you in which case you should duck or you say "mind you head" which means duck and not be confused with a bird that goes quack.

Ah, OK, thanks for clarifying that brother man. Have a wonderful evening, peace, gbn x

Edit...I'm not sure I agree with your sentiment, but thanks nonetheless.

Shall I lend you a shovel? You’ll be able to dig that hole a lot quicker. As for using street slang, to use your analogy would you be able to tell the difference if your mate Steve (or Seve) said you in your local ‘Hi lancslad58, that choon on the jukebox is rather good don’t you think’, would be able to tell the difference if he’d said choon or tune?

Man, this IS the way I speak, and yeah, I guess I am a hippie. But not a hippie who will meekly go with the flow. If you don't like the way I talk, that's cool, it really is, but don't tell others how to talk, thats not. If you don't like it, or approve, just don't engage? Anyhow, off to the land of zzzz, up early tomorrow for another day fighting the good fight and looking for the light..there is no other way, is there? At your behest I'll refrain from wishing you peace and love as it seems to offend you, a rather strange state of affairs, but each to their own.

Of course I would if he used choon I'd take the piss out of him to his face, he'dprobably laugh and blame it on his grandkids, but he wouldn't because he's he's not a knob.

BTW he would't say "is rather good choon/tune don’t you think" as that makes him sound like a knob. He's ex-army. signed on when he was 15 served in Northern Ireland during the troubles.
;Saying "is rather good don’t you think" sounds like the two pretend trannies on Little Britain who have knobs but pretend they haven't.

It’s because some people are too invested in their own sense of importance, they fail to realise when they themselves step over the line.

Hey come on I’m just trying to inject some humour into what is otherwise a humourless subform with such thrilling threads about good/bad number plates; the winter dirty car thread and of course he bad parking thread where people boast how they would walk the badly parked car when know they wouldn’t.

You're right - it would be weird you calling your mate "Steve" if his name is "Seve".

To D2 MOS who forgot that when merging onto the motorway YOU have to give way, you're a knob, I know you're in a rush before your stheap of a Jaguar breaks down again but don't try and drive into my car.

Also whoever painted the temporary lines on the M27, you know cars have grown in size since the 50's yeah?

People who brake when a car is coming in the other direction, why?

Because they are incompetent dullards that haven't a clue about how wide their vehicle is.
I have always maintained that driving through width barriers at a minimum of 60mph should be part of the driving test.

Yep and all of them are the slowest drivers too, I was following someone the other day on the way home through my village, they were doing no more than 20mph and braked for every single bend and curve, there was literally no need.

Yeah like an examiner is going to be happy to sit beside a learner driver doing 60 mph between "not very much wider than the car" barriers

I mean you only get one chance to get that right, a bit like skydiving or base jumping.

Hey man, I was just trying to inject some humour into a humourless section. It's all the rage. No negative waves man. Woof. Joking aside, and I was joking, negativity ain't my bag, let's all be cool and look for the light. It's always there. I know you don't like good wishes, but peace and love nonetheless, gbn x

Agreed, we should petition to make that happen.... I would happily take my test again just to do that part
