Ur unemployed, not that bright, older & uglier, still think playing video games means something, juvenile and wouldn't stand a chance in the construction area with me. Stick to youtube and the Home Depot training classes, chump. U lose again.

DECIMATED...

Geoff only won by 10%.

It's official...I win...

But only of 10% right?

Does that mean you nintimated him?

Apparently Lawl is so ignorant he doesn't know the meaning of words changes over time.

Or maybe he's just dreaming of living in Ancient Rome. A lot of hunky dudes banging each other and young boys back then...

Just so the Grammar Republican doesn't have to search himself http://www.thefreedictionary.com/decimated

Look at that, your pedantic definition is number 3.

Lookin' good btw goof

Goof never looks good. Ever.

EtEARS has proven that "Decimate" doesn't mean to reduce by a tenth, by providing a definition that says it means to reduce by a tenth.

I provided a definition that says geoff's usage is correct, and number 1? You some kind of moron?

Well here's a definition that says I'm correct, and the usage you're arguing is number 3. So I'm happy to go by your logic then, and I'm correct. I always win.

b : to cause great destruction or harm to <firebombs decimated the city> <an industry decimated by recession>

actually, as your quote from merriam-webster clearly indicates, the etymologically strict use of 'decimate' (i.e. to reduce by 10%) isn't the only sense of this verb; what's more, the looser sense of 'reduce drastically/great destruction' etc is the more usual usage these days

just saying, sweet cheeks
