". Some numpty got it wrong and made up a word based on how the japanese sounds.


What is wrong with a new word (otherwise I'm very conservative on such matters) when there is no english word that describes the situation meant.

But there were already two words, "Blurry" or "Fuzzy". The numpty that did it not being a linguist thought they were using a new word but in his/her ignorance they didn't know the word boke already existed in the english language and means something completely different. So they didn't invent a new word. They stupidly used an existing word and assigned it a new meaning thereby confusing the meaning of the word boke that already existed. That is the act of a complete fool.

Just so you're not in any doubt, see:

I say "developing time".

By golly! I have heard those same words used in Louisiana, Arkansas and Texas. Does that mean we could converse with you Californians should we make a trip out there? I have wondered in the past when I noticed you spell Hasselblad just like we do!.......Regards!:laugh:

^^^ Nope, in Texan it's deeevelopin' tahm, ya'll.

Yes, except for Texas and everyone knows them is jes' plain loco in the head.
 
In my neck of the woods, developing time is often pronounced, "oops"
 
I did not know that Julius Caeser processed film. When he crossed the Rubicon he said "Alea jacta est", ["The die is cast"]

Wrong. Alea iacta sunt, plural. The dice are thrown.

Julius Caesar said "Alea jacta est", the die is cast. He did not say "Alea iacta sunt", the dice are cast. We is talking classical stuff here, man. Duude!
 
I think it was intended as a joke... throw the dice and take your chances.:smile:

Yes, but keep the Classical references correct for the youngins.

Where are Wayne and Shuster when we need them?
 
That dictionary is plain wrong. Boke is the english spelling of the Japanese word (some yank turned that into Bokeh in some delusional attempt to claim it for themselves). In japanese it means blurred of fuzzy (more or less). But it is also sometimes used in japanese as a derogatary word for old people by saying that someone is a bit boke. i.e. they have gone a bit fuzzy in the head.

What people don't seem to have any clue about is that boke as spoken in Scotland, means to gag or vomit and has nothing to do with photography or being fuzzy or blurred. The straight english translation of boke from the japanese would be blurred or fuzzy and not "boke". Some numpty got it wrong and made up a word based on how the japanese sounds.

''Some glaikit wee bampot just boaked in the cludgie''...

In Tamil, உருத்துலக்கல் நேரம்(Uruttulakkal neram)

Uruttulakkal -> developing
neram -> time

Actually, if you want to pick nits, he probably didn't. He was a posh Roman, so he spoke Greek. His quotes were translated back into Latin for the history books. :smile:
 
Greek: Χρόνος Εμφάνισης

Actually he sent a message to Rome with that as the message. Not all Romans read Greek.
