Good job, Gipper. You found one of those particularities every language has.

I just thought of one in English that is very similar: terrific. It has a negative meaning but when you say ''Terrific'' you are actually saying "awesome!".

"De puta madre" has a positive meaning, "hijo de puta" doesn't (thought we use it on friendly environments).

I don’t know where you get that terrific has a negative meaning. Maybe you are thinking of horrific.

I know Nero didn't just refer to my mother as a whore, right?

12. How many sacks does Myles Garrett get?

Zombo: 17

jcam222: 10.5

Tour2ma: 15.5

Nero: 12

Coyote: 15

mjp: 17.5

Bob806: 17

FlyinJ: 13

Flugel: 13

gumby: 14.5

DutchOven: 10.5

JDailey: 11

Answer: Myles Garrett had 13.5 sacks in 2018.

Winner Winner Chicken Dinner: Very good things were predicted by us for young Garrett this season, and he didn't disappoint. Garrett is firmly the #2 guy on the Browns, someone to build the defense around. FlyinJ and Flugel share this tasty victory.

And the Big Dummy Award goes to... Honestly no one's prediction was that far off in either direction, so no big dummy!

One of these days he's going to be real excited to come to the States and meet people on this board for a Browns game.

He better hope something was lost in translation.

That day, I will use all the expresions related to "puta" constantly so you get the hang of it.

I know I'd love to hear you call my mother a whore to my face.

We Italian guys are well-known to really, really appreciate that, and we express our appreciation constantly so you would get the hang of it.

I've been doing these for a dozen or so years (dating back to the board mjp, Coyote and JDailey came from) and every once in a while there's no chicken dinner awarded or the big dummy named.

The "Big Dummy Award" is a joke from the old board. There was a poster on it - VTBrowns - who was unintentionally the funniest mothertrucker I've ever known. He'd get on these rants and then get made fun of so hard he'd quit the board for months, only to return and the same hilarity would ensue. He was yelling at someone one day and started calling them "big dummy", which caused us to imagine him as Fred Sanford. He called us the "bitch click"... He wasn't the strongest speller either. God I miss VT... ?

Italian? Then what's up with the screen name? The last 2 Italian guys that wanted to be Dutch were Brutus and Cassius.

Now we have a Spanish guy that wants to be called Nero; and it's like Ancestry.Com just slapped you right upside the head with - how bout a little Michael Corleone needing to defend his mother here?

Well....I am an English speaking person...for 67 years now.......and I can tell you that I have never heard the term "terrific" used to mean what that second part of that definition says.....and I doubt that anyone else on here has either......and even the sentence given does not jive with the definition: "terrific scenes of slaughter and destruction" I would take to me "huge/massive, etc.
