If he's never heard of the term, at least that was a pretty fair attempt at reasoning it out. But having done that, the only way the 50/50 could have saved him was if hedgehog had been left as the distractor.BBTranscriptTeam wrote: $16K Which of these animals is also known as a polecat?

My DVR box died yesterday, so I wasn't able to watch. It should be fixed or replaced before Friday, so I shouldn't miss my turn as transcriptionist.
I'd still have all my lifelines available.

It could be a Southernism, but we use it up here, my golfing buddies anyway. When someone is shall we say scoring a little better than his handicap, we say there is a polecat around, or a polecat in the shithouse.earendel wrote:My DVR box died yesterday, so I wasn't able to watch.

I will admit to being called a polecat before. But then, so have most of the other golfers.

Polecat is a term learned from watching Saturday morning cartoons*
*note to Skip the Intern, once upon a time cartoons were only shown on television on Saturday mornings, so the kids would watch them while the parents slept in or ran errands. Felix was not a polecat.

Suitguy is not bitter.
feels he represents the many educated and rational onlookers who believe that the hysterical denouncement of lay scepticism is both unwarranted and counter-productive
The problem, then, is that such calls do not address an opposition audience so much as they signal virtue. They talk past those who need convincing. They ignore actual facts and counterargument. And they are irreparably smug.
