Snaw

[JohnF]

We didn't get any snaw and overnight it was rayning.

As the forum pedant, I must inform you that (within a phrase or sentence) the correct coupling with "snaw" is in fact "rainin".  It's a dialectical thing.

Is that "dialectical materialism"? I know quite a bit about that post-Hegelian stuff - you know, thesis, antithesis, synthesis and all that.

Berni Inns?

No.

I know quite a bit about that post-Hegelian stuff - you know, thesis, antithesis, synthesis and all that.

Why doesn't that surprise me - if anyone on this forum was going to claim knowledge of Hegel it really had to be you.

"Hegel don't bother me" (popular song by The Tams, 1964).

[JohnF]

Shouldn't that be "Hegel, don't bother me"

Depends on what you think it means. I have lifted it from some graffiti from a public toilet many years ago. I think it may have been used by philosophy students. It went something like this:

HEGEL DONT BOTHER ME

What does this mean? Is it a declaration of unconcern about dialectic idealism?

Under this, in a different handwriting, someone had added:

Maybe it is an injunction not to disturb someone's mental tranquility

Under this a third hand had written:

No, it is a popular song

It took me a little while to understand this joke.

My missus got it in one, in fact had a good chuckle over it.  But then again, she's an MA Phil so bloody should else its an education wasted
