Thanks to Meta, I learned today that "pa" means "personal attack" and not "Dad!"

Saw a jury result posted yesterday where all the alerter said was "pa". I clicked on the link and didn't see a single post in that thread where someone was talking about their father.

Earlier today Electric Monk made a post in Meta where he talked about a "pa" and "personal attack". I then made the connection.

There are times when I ought not be posting, serving on jury duty here, driving or operating machinery.

I'm so tired of the PC gangsters and the whining. My blood pressure has gone down considerably.

being "pa" either!


I know taterguy and I know about being a dumbass. I used to hang in the Lounge. I would have voted to left it alone. meh.

I say "know" like I really know him. I don't - but - I do know his online persona.
