Actually it is slang, and the words that are slang are not real words. Shmuck is a slang word.

Ahhhh crap I forgot that there was one definition of it that is not slang. It means it is a creepy or weird person, and yes it is schmuck, but can also be spelled shmuck.

Thank you Lone Wolf. Oh and how do subjects change so fast. I mean we were talking about how Bill Gates is a Shmuck for about 5 posts than WHAM were now talking about how it's spelled and its defintion. I mean that is just a little weird. :lol:

I know, but I have seen two subjects that have stayed on topic for quite a while. I mean look at the religious debate topic. Still on topic for 10 pages now, and I think the do you think Cantr is educational stayed on topic for quite a while. Than there are topics like this where you change topics every 10 posts.

I don't think we need rollover mins. I've only ran out of minutes twice now and it may be annoying but you can start the next day too. At least until we can get another server which will take time and money

@Trage: there back on topic :lol:

I do like that the concept of rollover. There is always that one day where you want to spend alot of time doing something. Perhaps if minutes were allowed to go a little in the negative and the screen would change colors when that happened.
