The Jets suck (merged)

[CanadianPat'sFan]

Funny how no Pats fans can mention the first game without a laundry list of excuses while the Jets were in the 2nd game of a new coach, system and a rookie QB who is widely recognized here as the worst starter in football last year.

That is your responce for me??

Well I guess I will be back when this thread reaches 1700 post as your intelligence is just way below a any Pats Fan.

 

[Deus Irae]

"The password is EMBOLDENED."

The word that should have been used originally is "Bold-faced"

Bolden \Bold"en\, v. t. [imp. & p. p. Boldened. ]
To make bold; to encourage; to embolden.


Bolded is actually the one that isn't a word. Have fun looking that one up.


Oh the irony. No wonder you two are such devout Pat fans.

You officially are wrong (besides being an idiot). Not that it was any great mystery up to this point, as profoundly emphasized by your poor rooting choice in NFL franchises. Here you go:

bolded - Wiktionary

English/Verb
boldened: 1. Simple past tense and past participle of bolden.

bolden - Wiktionary

"bolden"
Definition from Wiktionary, the free dictionary
English/Verb

to bolden (third-person singular simple present boldens, present participle boldening, simple past and past participle boldened): 1. To make bold; to embolden.

I will add that, as an old English major and working journalist, I have NEVER seen or heard "boldened" used in reference to written/printed matter. Bolded? Yes, many times. The above appears to infer use of "bolden" as referencing various aspects of being bold or emboldened not commonly associated with heavier printed type face, for which "bolded" applies quite accurately.

Rexorcism enjoys digging holes I would think. He's quite bold in his attempts to make that hole deeper.

Just like his namesake, Jabba Wrecks, who was emboldened by Woody to become resident carnival barker in Jersey's desperate quest for PSL sales.

Every time I see emboldened I keep thinking of Ato Boldon for some reason.. who coincidentally did not suck as a sprinter unlike the New York Jets who suck infinitely.

When it takes an English major and working journalist to correct my post on a football message board I'm not going to be too offended.

It's hard to trust anything on the web, much like your free to edit wiki site, and while I couldn't find bold-ed listed as a word he couldn't find bolden-ed. We both jumped the gun.

As Deus mentioned, bold-face would be the best term to have used.

Sorry I enjoy talking about Football and winning teams.

You really should try to become a 2nd grade teacher in the Bronx to show off your new vocabulary.

Talk to me when you want to tell me how good the Jets are and I will respond....you will see.

Bold face would be the most commonly used term but you're forgetting the Australian vernacular and slang which I often get called up for on here. I do my best to use American English but sometimes I just can't help myself.

That still doesn't stop the Jets from sucking.

I'm not here to spout off about the Jets. Pats are the favorites as usual and the Dolphins are very dangerous too. I wouldn't be suprised to see any one of these teams take the East with another taking the wild card.

I post here to argue some of the more ridiculous positions against the Jets and just talk football. This lull in the off season is killer and while most other boards dry up this one seems to still have good activity.

The Wiki site does provide a service of filling in the gaps of common usages not officially acknowledged by formal dictionaries of record. Which, in this particular case, ol' Merriam-Webster seems lagging. You'll never convince me that "bolded" isn't properly used (re., "Bob bolded the first paragraph" vs. "Bob put the first paragraph in bold-face type") despite what the stuffed-shirts decree.

But I digress. The Green Beans most assuredly do suck.

Spoken like a true Jet.
There is an excuse for being wrong because a smart person noticed?

 

[Joker]

I just think its funny how many people here will bash the Jets locker room while turning a blind eye to their own.

that is because YOU are an INTERGALACTIC MORON...only a near braindead Rat fan can't figure out that people HERE are Pats fans and Pats fans HATE any/all green morons, thus they will post acrimonious jabs at the most disgusting franchise in all pro sports whenever they wish. Here's a huge clue,( which you can easily purchase for yourself at Clues-R-Us if you ever find your way out of mommy's basement),if you must have everything green goony gaa gaa like a bed wetting two year old, try Rats Insider...there's tons of near comatose , mouth breathing morons just like YOU, ready to play ratty cake at the drop of a 10,000 calorie Wrecks rampage at Mickey D's....

Exactly.

If you had succeeded in proving me wrong that would have been a real downer.

Bold face liar fits in here if used towards the biggest liars on the board...the Jesters fans.

Didn't take a smart person to notice it, just someone with a 5th grade education.

That of course cancels out most Jets fans from noticing.
