Humans are getting lazier and lazier at naming animals and here's how in 1900 Tyrannosaurus Rex, Velociraptor, brachiosaurus. In 2000 damnit this is a dog and this is a cat! Angry Angry Angry
 

Most people think that flying a plane is dangerous, except pilots because they know how easy it is.
Arguing with a pilot is like wrestling with a pig in the mud, after a while you begin to think the pig likes it.

I think it may have something to do with how often the animal species name is used.  I mean really, except for in science or history class, how often do you say the specific name of a dinosaur?

And also, don't forget things like subspecies.
Dog: Toy Poodle, Golden Labrador Retriever, Great Dane
Dinosaur: Tyrannosaurus Rex, Brachiosaurus, Velociraptor
Bird: Raven, Blue Jay, Rooster

Who are you calling... I say, who are you calling a subspecies, you crack-shelled offspring of a hen!

[quote author=H link=1313162518/2#2 date=1313177255]Trust me, ya old hen, you DON'T want to get in an insult fight with me.  I have about six more years, I said six more years of expeirience in insults and reverse-insults on you.

(No offense to you H, just to the chicken!)
Foghorn says he's sorry for misinterpreting your species but it was the result of your half-cocked statement that grouped all males of varying subspecies into one -- with no such implication of the hens.
As to your six-year experience, fledgling, H, himself, has some decades on you and, one tough old bird, Foghorn J. Leghorn, is older than H; the rooster first appeared August 31, 1946.

Cool

But has he been having to specifically work on insults?  Because I mean actually working on insults, not life expeirience.

I'm actually offspring of a human ya bird-brained creature who's too chicken too look up your own species in the dictionary!  And since your brain clearly can't take flight, why on EARTH would you think that your whole body could fly ya overweight rooster!  And of your definition, I have to admit you certainly are FOUL smelling.  And if you think I'M crack-shelled, think about yourself!  Because your manners certainly went out those cracks you old cluck!  And your mother must have been pretty fat to crack your egg!

Trust me, ya old hen, you DON'T want to get in an insult fight with me.  I have about six more years, I said six more years of expeirience in insults and reverse-insults on you.

Ok. Just clean the saliva off the screen and calm down Roll Eyes Cheesy. Oh and FYI We are all Homo-Sapiens. Just like all cats are      Felis/F. catus

I'm sure they've ignored that man is also a shortened form of mankind, male and female inclusive... only noting that man is part of mankind without the kind. We don't make an issue that woman applies the wo(e) to man.
