I'm not expecting anyone else to post in here - it's really just for me to record all mention of the word "semantics". Like a very limited game of bingo. Played by one person.

So, to kick off, here we have a few choice examples from the archive site:

Eggman
Jan 13 2004, 02:41 PM (How Do You Like Your Steaks?)

This has become an issue of semantics


Eggman
Jan 13 2004, 02:52 PM (How Do You Like Your Steaks?)

Again we're getting into semantics


Eggman
Jan 28 2004, 10:57 AM (11/9)

so we'd just be getting into semantics


Eggman
Jan 30 2004, 12:23 PM (Religion)

we're getting into semantics and philosophical discussions about just what God is


Eggman
Feb 2 2004, 01:19 PM (Religion)

I don't really want to get into semantics here though


Eggman
Feb 18 2004, 01:02 PM (Is Our National Game Bent?)

and we're now into semantics


Eggman
Feb 19 2004, 09:12 AM (Is Our National Game Bent?)

I claim semantics
That's semantics, in my opinion


Eggman
Feb 19 2004, 10:51 AM (Is Our National Game Bent?)

I know very well what semantics means


Eggman
Mar 10 2004, 09:14 AM (Champions League Winners)

We're getting into semantics here about "better" and "more effective"


Eggman
Apr 19 2004, 11:20 AM (Are Poofs Men? - A prize for Parma for topic title of the year, surely...)

If you want to get into semantics


Eggman
Apr 19 2004, 12:27 PM (Are Poofs Men?)

It's an issue of semantics


Eggman
Apr 19 2004, 12:34 PM (Are Poofs Men?)

As I've said, we're into semantics here


Eggman
Jul 26 2004, 07:36 PM(Opinions, And If They've Changed)

I'm not going any further into this issue of semantics


Eggman
Nov 1 2004, 12:55 PM (Ace New Game!)

I suppose it comes down to semantics


But wait, what's this? Cobardon springs to Eggs's rescue:
Cobardon
Nov 1 2004, 01:00 PM (Ace New Game)

that's true Eggman. It is mostly semantics


Oh no - it's a trap!
Cobardon
Dec 3 2004, 11:03 AM (Top 100 Box Office Hits)

Eggman...you are just arguing semantics


Eggman
Dec 3 2004, 11:11 AM (Top 100 Box Office Hits)

I'm not arguing semantics at all


Eggman
Dec 7 2004, 04:50 PM (Religion ??)

If we're into semantics (which we are)


Eggman
Dec 14 2004, 04:38 PM (**The Arabfc Awards 2004**)

Can we try not to get into the semantics of what I mean? You're a clever fellow, and know precisely what I'm talking about

Support, remembrance, if you want to get into the semantics behind it, knock yourself out.

You'd be lost without me.

(You missed out the current music thread, where I said something about semantics to Skeletor.)

Patience, Eggs. Without a working Search function, these things are hard to find.

I refer you to my previous post.

ETA: Keep up the good work.

Admittedly it's not for everyone, Skel, it's a subtle flavour not readily appreciated by the masses, but for those of us who have developed a taste for it, we can't get enough of the old semantics. Like the works of Georges Perec, or the semen sought by the cock-hungry gentlemen who write on the walls of toilet cubicles.

Being pedantic, I think he was being obsessive rather than pedantic about semantics.

There's the small issue that no-one's defined exactly what's meant by "arguing semantics." Arguing requires semantics. Describing any form of communication as "arguing semantics" is like describing football as "arguing physics." Though, perhaps, if we tried to talk about the meaning of semantics it would only succeed in tying the hypothesis into a Möbius strip.

Don't you enjoy these little chats we have?

How about 'Eggy's Law';

As an online discussion grows longer, the probability of the words 'semantic' or 'semantics' approaches 1.

Sounds good, after a small revision.
