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.

Re: Stealth and Scattering Armor bonus
SJ's supposedly toungue in cheek post was not very ironic (well, not ironic at all, really).

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

Re: Stealth and Scattering Armor bonus
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.

Nope, I've read it. Don't need to read it again.
Just eliminate it please.
Because as someone just said:

Re: Stealth and Scattering Armor bonus
You have left in your sig in every post, so you can not use my sig as an argument. You have no ground to stand on there.
