Eh! Isn't that two, Squi-rrelled.


Yes, in the correct BRITISH pronunciation, it's two syllables, like you say, and NOT 'squrld'. But 'squirrelled' isn't even a fucking word anyway.

And ANYWAY, seeing as you've already barred British English with your disqualification of 'one hundred and one', you have no grounds for dispute. You COLLABORATOR.

In my mind it rhymes with "world" which is one syllable.

Isn't it similar to being "tangoed"?

Right I admit that I was probably starting a bit of a "War of the roses" war styley thing with the one hundred and one thing. Been checking and the only websites that have it also have MATH. Helvete!

I'll be rescinding my passport and starting a new life in Chad, tomorrow.

Good. That's very honorable of you. (Or is it honourable? God, I don't even know myself anymore.)

Squirreled is a word, but it's only got one L. My mistake.

ie: He squirreled away all his possessions.

The GGGGOOOOOOAAAALLLLLL post cracked me up.

Think the "Goal" one depends on whether its a south american shouting it, then it can be as long as five minutes!
