cnbc is stunned

  1. the poofter on cnbs just said he was stunned that at least 25% of all deals were frontrun in the options market.

    I think he should be fired for admitting incompetence.
     
  2. 1) Please stop drinking when posting
    2) Please double-check your spelling
    3) who exactly said what ?
     
  3. ^ hehe. Yes, I agree. Who or what is the poofter?
     
  4. you know, i forgot who it was, and there are so many poofters on cnbs that I have no shot at remembering.
     
  5. I think they are not familiar with the British term "poofter" ... meaning a gay man. It's just like saying fag in the US.

     
  6. really?
     
  7. Well one of them asked ... "Who or what is the poofter?"

    Fag in Britain means cigarette.

    I had a British tech guy come and help me with an install once. He said he was going out to "smoke a fag." I was speechless.
     
  9. Yes ... but, as I said, poofter is their way of saying fag as in gay man.

    I had to laugh......and adding to the lingo....
    when you thought he was going out to "smoke" were you thinking....

    a) Gangster talk - he is going to kill someone.
    b) Gay talk - blow someone
    c) Normal talk - smoke a cigarette
    d) Cannibal talk - and smoke someone for eating later
    e) history buff talk - why would he want to use smoke signals when a telephone would do.
