Hmm, you have brought up an oddity in the English language Karl. When I read your post I thought "doh, I mispelt flak" because yes, I meant metaphorically like anti aircraft gun FLAK. Then I looked flack up in the dictionary to make sure and flack is a word, just not what I thought. Though the definition of flack is related in a way. So yes, I meant FLAK and not a slick spokesperson. regards, Paul Watson Bluegrass South Africa Anna-Jayne Metcalfe wrote: "Cynicism has it's place in life - but it should be kept well away from your inner self."

Thanks. That's what I wanted to know, if this expression was related to FLAK, a "souvenir" of WW2 becoming an expression. Very interesting, indeed, it shows in a way how air battles were dominant for anglo-saxon countries during WW2.

That's what he meant. He just sucks at spelling :-D (mwuhahaha)
The trouble with apathy these days is nobody cares. Capital Punishment means never having to say "you again?" As easy as 3.141592653589793238462643383279502884197169

I have always used it and I think most South Africans do, or at least understand it. I am not sure about other english speakers. It is similar to the expression taking heat that Americans use. Actually I think taking heat is more in use by kids my age than taking flak thanks to the insidious invasion of American culture :-D As for your BOB theory, you are the expert but could be right. regards, Paul Watson Bluegrass South Africa Anna-Jayne Metcalfe wrote: "Cynicism has it's place in life - but it should be kept well away from your inner self."

Thanks. BTW, the translator[^] I use accepts his spelling :-O

I actually think it can be spelt either way (maybe English and American spelling). If you use it like Paul did it means excessive criticism. :)

:doh:! How could I have missed this one :sigh: It's not only about the Battle of Britain, during all WW2 allied pilots feared the very efficient german FLAK. Thanks for all these precisions.

That is seriously sick. That guy needs to seek professional help.

David Wulff wrote: That is seriously sick. That guy needs to seek professional help. I agree. It's sort of like hooking up the shotgun to go off if someone breaks in. If you've been broken into repeatedly, it sure becomes an attractive option. But ultimately, you're killing someone who's stealing a car stereo. Bastards though they are, I would prefer to get one of those exploding blue paint cannisters that the banks use. Fix it so it goes off in their face. That's a punishment that fits the crime. Paul
