I can't keep up with the English language and you Yanks.  Just as I thought oooooo a typo I can make fun of I checked the Urban Dictionary and sure enough, moroon is a combination of moron and baboon.  It's hard to keep up with the Yanks' English...


Yes, I am sure us "Yanks" have screwed up the English language a lot over the last couple hundred years, but at least when we speak it, most people around the rest of the World who have learned some of the English language can understand what we are saying.  That isn't always true for many people in the UK, who claim they are speaking English.  :lol:

Also, ask most other people from other countries who are trying to learn and understand all the quirks of the English language and I am sure most will agree that it is a pretty messed up language to start with, before us "Yanks" ever existed to screw it up further.  :-D

"Moron & Baboon = Moroon"  I like it!
How are you helping the Amiga community? :)

I love it "Yanks".... I am a Canadian Hee Hee. But I got it from the Yanks I guess.
I first heard the term from Bugs Bunny Ages ago...
"What a maroon"
Its been floating around Saturday Morning TV for like 50 years. I am sure that as long as TV sets have been out, or since the first Saturday morning Cartoons, Bugs bunny and gang have been there.

In a similar style, Funt is one of my favourite adjectives.

Didn't they used to have a "Maroon Alert" in Captain Scarlet?   Or was that Magenta ?
