Remind me again what "tongue in cheek remark" means.

Well, in this situation the person (not me )superficially and with some irony agreed with your statement but really didn't.

I'd like to know where that phrase came from...
I find it really hard to speak clearly if I do put my toungue over onto the inside of my cheek.

You don't need to quote the post when it is just before yours...

I don't really see much of that in SJ's post, but whatever.

Let's just say I reserve my right to quote a person. My choice, not yours, however much you may dislike it.

It makes the post unnecessarily long, and waste's everyone's time (esp. low-bandwidth Users).

Yeh! Worse, I am likely to bite my tongue.

Great place to find out where strange words or phrases come from.

Tongue in Cheek:
The commonly told tale about this phrase is that it derives from the acting practice of thrusting one's tongue into your cheek to keep from laughing at an inappropriate moment. There is no evidence to support this story or the idea that the phrase comes from the theater.

The phrase dates to 1748 when it was fashionable to signal contempt for someone by making a bulge in your cheek with your tongue. By 1842 the phrase had acquired its modern, ironic sense.

SJ's supposedly toungue in cheek post was not very ironic (well, not ironic at all, really).

My reply is the same:

And if you are really sincere in what you say, you will elimate all that extraneous stuff below your actual message.

So I will watch and see if you do.

Otherwise it is all B.S.

No, it is not BS. I have condensed my signature as much as possible, while still conveying the necessary information. You can not use my signature as any sort of argument, until you remove your own. It takes about as much space as mine does, but mine has lots of useful links in it; yours does not.
