Origin of “he's 6 feet tall if he's an inch” Love the anecdote. I'll be telling that one again. |

A word for showing a bit of anger that you are not satisfied with what is offered? I would say the opposite. I feel quite offended when this is said to me and isn't something I'd say unless I wanted to hurt the other person (as opposed to merely making my displeasure known). -1for not emphasizing this. |

Can “whore” mean “to hoard things”? Another popular usage that's popped up in gaming communities is "achievement whore". Somebody who will spend an absurd amount of time to achieve certain predefined, extra tasks in a game in order to get an "achievement" attached to their account. |

What does “up she rises” mean in the sea shanty “Drunken Sailor”? When I worked as part of a reniasance faire cast we were taught different pronouciations for everything. This included the song drunken sailor among others. The pronounciation of middle english (and certainly old english) differs from our standard speech, so I always assumed that was the reason for the differences. |

More formal way of saying: “Sorry to bug you again about this, but …” +1 for the positive stance towards the other person :) |

What's the difference in usage between “annoyed at”, “annoyed with”, and “annoyed by”? As an aside, how did you generate that chart? |

“[…] up with which I will not put.” Yep... I think that's entirely the point and what makes it so funny. |

“[…] up with which I will not put.” I'd agree, actually. But Churchill seemed to be taking this to the extreme. |

Right format for time of day when corresponding with Germans removed my apparently incorrect example! |
