Am I slow or Am I slow?

I have been on this site for a year and a half. I am a person who finds correct grammar very important. Yet I never noticed the title and the meaning of the title of this forum until today!! MANE doh!! :confused: :confused: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :brainbleach: :brainbleach: :lol:

I love it. It's so clever! It makes me smile every time I click on it.

:lol: Glad you got it b/c I think it will give you a smile now every time you see it. ;)

That made me smile too, I think there should be a forum called 'fringe benefits' for hair tips.

[Phalaenopsis]

I don't get that one, 'fringe benefits' :confused:
But that's probably because I'm Flemish :)

Fringe = bangs.

Maybe some of us thought the administrators were such serious minded folk that they didn't make jokes (!).

But the Mod and Guru titles tell us different.

Clever indeed and I love it! (My memory tells me that our member Robbi suggested using this title instead of The Main Forum a good while back). :)

Fringe = bangs.


To complete that pun, it helps to know that the word "Fringe" and means "something which is peripheral or secondary." So there's the main thing and then there's the fringe thing.

LOL I read it every day but it never clicked ;) And yes it does make me smile

There's nothing ungrammatical about it whatsoever. Both "main forum" and "mane forum" are grammatical, they just mean different things. In this case, it just so happens that the one works as a pun for the other. :wink:

I remember it took me awhile, to get it, maybe because I'm not native English speaking. But there was someone on the old boards who had a hair journal with a similar title somhow and then it clicked.

[brok3nwings]

im sorry...could anyone explain it to me? My english is not so great so... :/ it could be dumbness but i really dont understand lol

[Riot Crrl]

The Main Forum = the primary forum
Mane = like on the back of a horse's head/neck; or a person's hair

So it is the primary forum that is also about hair.

Aha, yes :) I know that fringe are bangs, but I still didn't get it.
Thank you for explaining!
