Longest running troll on this board second only to Shades.

No joke, right? Grammar guy can't locate a dictionary. :roll:

Shades, "knick" is the shortened name for "knick-knack".
I thought the Knicks was short for knickerbockers.
No, that’s a common misunderstanding, or ‘suburban legend’. Interestingly enough, the “knack” bit was actually shortened from “knackered” because people were often knackered after a hard day of knicking at the MS gardens, hence knick-knackereds became knick-knacks.

He probably was just there for the Spurs. Always a good idea for Trump to root for spurs when there's a war afoot.

Dude... so good.
Religion is for people whose existential fear is greater than their common sense. It's also the favored cover for hypocrites.

The god idea is popular with desperate people.

That's really interesting (thank you both). I thought you were joking, honestly.
