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:
But wait, what's this? Cobardon springs to Eggs's rescue:
Oh no - it's a trap!

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. |
