Did anyone else hear this at the last BOT meeting? It seems that they've come up with a new plan to hide the fact that most of the downtown area is either rubble or rubble hidden by a fence: they're going to blow up the entire village as a diversionary tactic.

It's brilliant. No survivors means no one to notice the rubble.


I anticipate that the News-Record is going to endorse the idea in Thursday's "paper".

Sbenois: I find the idea that the BOT is considering blowing up the village somewhat comforting. In as much as every attempt by the BOT to build something leads to a hole and a fence owned by the Village, the BOT trying to blow the Village up may well result in some useful and taxable improvement.

Since the Village threatened not to place legal advertising in the News Record if it ran "negative" (read accurate) articles, there is very little the News Record would not endorse. I've often wondered if the only reason the News Record reporters could find any stories at all is because the South Orange and Maplewood Municipal Buildings are on the same street as the newspaper office.

sbenois, thank you for the laughs, a neighborly gesture to the beseiged residents of SO.

VU, you are the perfect antidote for a town that desperately needs you.

Please tell me what Sbenois Lake is. Does it mean you want to recreate the old mill pond from the Pierson mill?

John Gross has asked me to remove this thread. He said the WMD aren't in place yet and didn't want to alarm people and have them leave before the "big day."

Didn't want them to leave before the big day? I called him and he said that if you wanted to pay all taxes ahead of time that are due up to the big day then do so and then naff off.

I asked him when the big day was and he asked what my name was. I wondered why this was important and he said that if my name was Beifus or Sayid, I would have different big day to everyone else.

Quote:

What is the origin of "naff"? "naff off"?

(Etymology)

The etymology of "naff" is ultimately unknown. We can provide several theories...


According to Kieth Waterhouse, author of Billy Liar (the novel that contains the senior literary citation), "naff" was used by UK service personnel as an acronym of "nasty, awful, f**k it".


Along the same vein, the acronym "NAFFI" has been used by UK service personnel as an acronym for "Navy, Army, Air Force Institutes" (equivalent to a US "PX").


Partridge suggests that "naff" may be a backslang formation of "fanny" (UK slang for "vagina").


An explanation from London's gay community points to the acronym "not available for f**king" (ie, "straight").


The AHD3 suggests that "naff" is derived from the dialectal "naffhead" ("simpleton").


Aue has threads on the topic of "naff" dating from 1991, here's the link: etymology of "naff".

Of the theories given, it is likely that acronym "NAFFI" fits best with naff's meaning of "unstylish or outmoded", and that the backslang and gay slang theories fit best with the etymology of "naff off".

The OED provides this memorable citation, "1982 Sunday Times 18 Apr. 1/4 Princess Anne..lost her temper with persistent photographers and told them to 'naff off'".







Cool.
