Did you?

Yes, of course--unless you're talking about dum-dums.

I'm very tired and disheartened today. Would someone else please copy and paste some previous sniping of mine at silly poll suggestions unrelated to miniatures or warfare? Thanks.

How to put this delicately… was the OP not aware of this?

Personal logo 20thmaine Supporting Member of TMP02 Jun 2026 10:52 a.m. PST

Oh, I was, but…apparently, and I have this on the highest authority, most americans don't know this

My lack of interest in the poll outcome is profound, 20th, but I am curious about who the highest authority is.

Robert

But can he without bringing politics into the forum?

Because at that point this post becomes a purely political post. 😏

By the way:

" Dum (Slang): A deliberate, stylized, or phonetic respelling used in texting, hip-hop, or playful insults (e.g., "dum-dum"). [1, 2, 3]"

"Lighthearted Teasing: Use it to call a friend silly without being mean.Example: "Don't be dum, come to the party."

Phonetic Slang: Use it to shorten your text messages.Example: "That was a dum mistake."

The Idiom "Dum-Dum": Use it as a mild, playful noun for a foolish person.Example: "You forgot your keys again, you dum-dum."
"
