I have always heard "begs the question", never "bugs the question". Much as the Brits must be proud of one of the three pillars of the British Navy, I do not find "buggers the question" to be an attractive version. GFH |

The just debug it, sheesh. More seriously, "bugger" doesn't have the same connotation over here. I guess we don't have the same fascination.... --oTTo-- |

"Navy" => sea => high-seas buggery => "bugs the question" "Navvy" => land => digging through ground => "sods the question" our Austrian neighbours are inexplicably fond of mishearding the former as "bigs the question", though on reflection that's possibly because as a meaningless statement it wouldn't seem at all unusual to them in spoken language. butting -- I am very new to programming drivers so if I sound un-knowledgeable then it's because I am. -- first4internet's Ceri Coburn on writing Sony's DRM rootkit http://homepages.ihug.co.nz/~butting |

That album title just doesn't sound right. > our Austrian neighbours are inexplicably fond of mishearding the > former as "bigs the question", though on reflection that's possibly > because as a meaningless statement it wouldn't seem at all unusual to > them in spoken language. Are you sure you're not thinking of "bigs up the question", which I think (perhaps Kevins can help with this) is related to "pimps the question"? -- And on special dank midnights in August he peeks out of the shutters and sometimes he speaks and tells how the Lorax was lifted away.
