Which FBG did I lose to in the "Smack Off"

Bonus if you can name mine and their discussion points.

 
Which FBG did I lose to in the "Smack Off"Bonus if you can name mine and their discussion points.
Vivian Darkbloom. Greatest Invention of All Time. You picked the lock. He picked the metaphor.
corrrect
Sounds like Viv picked the lock. You know, metaphorically speaking.:crossesfingershegotthatright:
Isn't it a simile because you used the word "like"?
Dammit! That's, like, unfortunate and stuff.
 
While we're smooing, why is it that dammit is the accepted spelling for damn it? When you're a silent letter, it's hard enough to swallow the merger two words, but now the n just disappears? The n probably feels like Lybrand.
We've been screwing over the letter "O" in similar fashion for centuries..."isn't", "aren't", "wasn't""O" deserves reparations and it's time in the spotlight...way before "N" can bring it's case before the court...

If we're talking about mistreated letters, how do you think h felt when it found out it was going to be the helper consonant? OK, so here's the deal. We need you to make words just a little more difficult to spell. You can help c make a ch sound and s make a shushy sound, but your job in words like right and oh is to increase revenue for ESL teachers. And in the rare times you get to speak up, you'll make a halitosis sound, which, coincidentally, is one of your words.

"H' definitely deserves some mention but it's also part of one of the greatest letter conspiracies to date. Need I go into detail of how it has stolen many words from "J"? "J" is rarely used as it is...but when it finally gets it's time to shine...a great number of people choose to pronounce it like an "H"...oh, the jumanity...the jorror.

Not to mention being completely ignored by the British.

At least J gets eight points in scrabble. If you're opening up the alphabetic degradation conversation to rarer letters, how about Q? Q's in some kind of probationary training program. We need to pair this guy up with someone. Hey, u, get over here. You're going to be sticking with this guy for a while. Maybe we'll give him a country name, but you have to stay in the middle east with Iraq and Qatar. You don't get a vitamin, you only show up once in the whole periodic table of elements, in a sucky element like unnilquadium, and you're WAY down the list when we start handing out letter grades.

Very sound argument...I'm going to have to agree that "Q" is the red-headed stepchild of the letter kingdom. I open up the floor for rebuttals.

Have a look at the word beheading too. Specifically, I need to know why it's not deheading.TIA

X. Q, although paired with U for most of its useful life, at least begins some common and reasonable words. X? Pretty much xenophobe, xylophone and x-ray, plus the stigma of Xenu. My four-year old daughter has an alphabet puzzle where each letter has a shape associated with it. The shape for X? A fox. We're teaching kids during their developmental years to disrespect X, and that it isn't worthy to begin a word.

J was tje last letter to make it into the alphabet. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/J

Maybe H wants to be nice and give it a few extra spots to exist in our everyday sentences? Wjat a nice guy, that H.

And J is the only letter that doesn't show up in the periodic table at all!

Oh boo hoo. At least X stands alone. Q is an O with a kickstand. Nobody even trusts Q to mark the spot. I've never seen a Q rated movie. The Q-Men sound like losers. Maybe they did lose in the Q games - if they did, I've never heard of it. If you want to talk about your ex, fine, we'll throw a vowel in there and you've got a word. If you stand in a queue, we need four extra vowels just so nobody confuses you with a typo. And just to add insult to injury, Q is the absolute furthest letter from the center of the standard keyboard. You have to stretch your pinky just to get there, while x sits comfortably within reach of your ring finger. X's big gripes are that they don't get to be in the right god's name and there's a clever animal with X in its name. Q gets to be involved with what, the squirrel?

Dr. J and the X man are hall of fame NBA talents. Q got like two minutes of screen time as the guy who showed up occasionally in James Bond movies. Sweet J and Chemical X are hall of fame FBG posters. I'm sorry if there's some dude with a Q in his name, but I can't think of it. Sqoobygang maybe? Bob Saqamano? Mr. Piqles?

You can trip on X, and smoke a J, but if you take Qs, you just fall asleep.

The list goes on.

Jethro Q Walrustitty?
 
Although I support BFred's stance...I do want to make sure he realizes just how important the letter "Q" is in French and Spanish, especially.

Yo quiero Taco Bell.

Que?

Quesadilla

Qui?

Quicche

"Q" gets much love out there, worldwide..."X" on the other hand...there's a valid argument to be made.
