Not really my point, Auggie Doggie.

But I'll be glad to kneel to you as the Holy Roman Emperor of Bums.

Cool!  Hey, I gotta take adulation where I can find it.

does 'rimshot' mean something else in the UK?

Let's just say I don't think you're talking about basketball.

Once I went to see a pirate/Canadian/folk band (they are awesome fuck*ng great) and the big deeped voice lead singer said 'now this song is called Backyard Sailor. Over in Canada, Backyard means something different than it does in England...'

The whole audience froze as we imagined what we thought it meant. They were going to sing a song about ass sailors!

Turns out, he actually meant backyard as in back garden. Crazy, eh?

Judy, do you know I'm Canadian?  Would you like me to proliferate the term "backyard" among the gay community here?  Something tells me it will spread like wildfire... or herpies.

Yes please! Make sure 'Backyard Sailor' specifically.

This expression makes no sense.  You see, when you go through the backdoor you're headed in, not out, so you're in the kitchen where it's hot and not the backyard.

Problems solved! Wikipedia article on rimshot:
Quote
The term is erroneously used to refer to the sting played by the drummer in cabaret shows to accentuate the punchline of a joke. As a result, a particularly obvious laugh line is sometimes called a rimshot.

We call it a sting. Language strikes again.

Don't let this become a board about teaching Judy the English Language.

Thank you TOUAMB.

I've always wondered if there was a name for that kind of drum fill/roll. And now I know.
The Wikipedia entry led me to this page, from which I was able to extract the .swf file of the Punchline-O-Matic. And now it's sitting on my desktop, waiting to be triggered everytime someone at the office enunciates a bad joke. Or pretty much says anything out loud.
Amusement will certainly ensue.

EDIT: I forgot what this thread was originally about. Happy birthday, Ego Sum Noah. Congratulations for being less annoying than the other Noah in this board.

Backyard Sailor is an unnecessarily quaint replacement for a term we already have:

"Butt Pirate."

Man, hell of you guys are confusing rimshot (snare, snare, splash, by the way) for rimjob.

So it's satire, is it?  Well that changes everything!

He's not cupping her breast, she is cupping her own breast.  However, you don't have to be gay to get away with that.
