Multiple choice this time...

Q: What are soldiers doing if they are "yomping"?

A: Eating    B: Shoe Polishing   C: Marching

Answer A!

🤣

[naomi24]

I don't know the answer.  

[ToraToraTora]

why doesn't that surprise me?!

[naomi24]

I don't  know. Why doesn't it surprise you?

[davebro3]

maybe they misheard - "chomping" 🤣

[ToraToraTora]

10:45 Well you have often revelled in your lack of knowledge so one more bit of common knowledge you don't have doesn't surprise me.

[ToraToraTora]

10:47 they are written down in front of them.

[Ellipsis]

It was a very common word during the reporting of the Falklands campaign ...

[naomi24]

I've never been in the armed forces and I don't read war stories.  There's no reason I should be familiar with army jargon.  Some of your posts are ridiculous.

Marching

[barry1010]

My mother used to tell me to 'stop your yomping' when I was moaning about something. Common expression where I grew up, not for marching.

[ToraToraTora]

Naomi, why don't you just ignore these then? It's clear you are very proud of how little you know so why get involved in posts about a quiz show?

[THECORBYLOON]

TORATORATORA, do you get the correct answer to every question on The Chase?

[naomi24]

I'll ignore your rudeness TTT but if a subject holds no interest, people don't necessarily have the answers - and that applies even to you.   That's why I respond.  

[ToraToraTora]

11:20 I am not being rude I am echoing what you yourself have intimated in the past.

Surely engaging in a thread just to disrupt it is trolling. That's what you do. Please ignore my TWAU threads which are intended as a bit of a laugh, that's all.

[nicebloke1]

Good idea for a bit of fun, never noticed them before, will look out for them.

[naomi24]

I don't respond to disrupt.  When you post something funny I say it's funny but ridiculing people because they're not familiar with a niche topic like this is just arrogant.  

[davebro3]

Are you two married (to each other)? Typical H&W bickering!🤣

[THECORBYLOON]

The word is used once in about every 375,000,000 words so it's not exactly in common use, is it?

 

 

 

 

[naomi24]

Possibly Dave.  😂

Anyone who viewed the Falklands news coverage will have heard it repeatedly.
