JK Trails & Tales Just get back from a recent trail run and/or camping trip with your Jeep JK Wrangler? If so, you know we want to hear all about where you went, who all came along and of course, see all the pics you can post.

So I went mall crawling

BITE ME
Bite Me: (idiomatic) An expression of discontent or aggravation to another party.

Aggravation: unfriendly behavior that causes anger or resentment

Idiom: A phrase or expression that means something different from what the words actually say. An idiom is usually understandable to a particular group of people. For example, using 'over his head' for 'doesn't understand.’

Wow! This is fun! Get to actually point out what words mean to people! Who knew this forum was educational!

Like I said, I haven't had this much fun in a long time.

Next?

No. Not wrong. "Over his head" is substitute for "Doesn't understand"

"For" is indeed correct in this case.

Class dismissed.

As I am what? Grammatically correct? I'm wrong about the sentence structure or wrong about having an opinion? While we are at it:

Opinion: An opinion is a belief that cannot be proved with evidence. It is a subjective statement and may be the result of an emotion or an interpretation.

So, my "opinion" is that I am right, since you have no proof I am wrong. It is subjective (existing only in the perceiving mind; as existing in thought).

So my perception forms my opinion.

Perfect! You've captured the essence of this thread!

Now who exactly is the "idiot"?

Remember, I said I didn't want this to get personal. Just having some fun.
