Buildings are not pre-painted

[d_Guy]

When we bought our current house it was pre-painted. After ten years it is now un-painted but since it was once painted it is in correct Americanish (apparently) to call it un-re-painted. Based on peeled paint I believe the pre-painting at the time we bought it was actually a re-paint of a the original pre-paint. Whatever the current state, I believe it can best be called post-paint. We should have bought the brick house up the street - the one with the vinyl trim (which is showing signs of pre-un-polymerization or maybe it's de-polymerization or maybe it's aluminum and not vinyl).

A very good example of complex gibberish !

Thanks! I owe it to a brief encounter with post-structural semiotics during my meager academic career.

Thanks for reminding me why I threw over a tenured lectureship and fled screaming!

Here lies (or - dang - lays?) the path to sanity.

I may have to start a new thread....

As a lot of you already know, I listen to LOTS of audio books, while I push putty about for Leon.

There are many occasions where I find that I end up shouting at the little 'hi-fi' on my desk.

There are a few 'constants' where I go "NO....that's not how you pronounce that word.".....But yesterday I found myself ranting at the phrase "De-Planing".

What next ?......"I de-filled the can of soup"....." I de-shut the door."....."I de-painted the figures"

I think what we need here is some blue-sky thinking as to how we leverage our synchronicities so as to ensure that, going forward, we are all singing from the same hymn sheet and in consequence avoid a non-positive outcome for the brainstorming we are all positively participating in.

Presumably the character(s) were exiting an aircraft? That seems to me the preferred term used by flight attendants.
Or - wait - was it de-plan as in "we had trained for this exercise for three months but it all went south in the first three seconds and we had to de-plan and wing it"?  :-  

Incidently there are people on this very forum who de-paint using solvents and a tiny wire brush (although I think un-paint is a better usage).

I share your mood.

Synchronicity was over-rated before it was under-rated.

Phil, you just know every one will now assume it's THAT blue pill don't you?   

[Last Hussar]

My statins are pink.  Are you suggesting cholesterol causes his funny turns?
Ramipril are white and red
SSRI are white.

No....Not THOSE blue pills !!

Ramipril are white and red

So are mine....at least THOSE pop out of the blisters easily.
A lot of the others are pains in the bum to remove from the packs.
