Why should I give a fuck about Tiger Woods?

[Da6s]

It's not - just another fucking american who thinks he understands the concept 

I call the greatest golfer in the world having a domestic dispute resulting in him being bludgeoned with his own golf clubs irony.

If Agassi was beaten with a tennis racket, i'd claim the same thing. Or if Earnhart died in a car wreck.

[P3nT4gR4m]

Okay I kinda see it now. I was too busy focussing on the word iron. I guess that pretty close to irony.

... for an american anyway

[AFK]

The irony is one of my threads being jacked by a pun.

Of course, I'm pretty sure 11/12ths of me deserved it. 

RWHN,
Okay, all of me deserved it.

It pains me, Pent.

Wait, what happened? DO you actually give a fuck? If so, why?

I am going to file this under "Nobody cares".

[P3nT4gR4m]

I only care about the christian name and for that reason I'd like him dead. The whole wife/beating/suv/hydrant/crashing/irony thing is one big mehfest as far as I'm concerned

[Mesozoic Mister Nigel]

I can't make sense of this sentence no matter how many times I read it.

[The Johnny]

But of course, just like Jacob or Moses, xtians commonly name their kids Tiger too.

Can't see why - it's plain basic english, no tricky punctuation or syntax or any of that shit. His christian name is Tiger. I think that's idiotic. I'd like him killed because of this. What's confusing about that?

Ah wait is this some kind of ignorant fucking american thing again? In united states of kingdom the phrase "christian name" means the first name in your collection, like the one that comes before your middle names and last name or surname or whatever you wanna call it. It doesn't mean you feature in the bible or any shit like that.

"Christian name". You use that to mean "given name"? We don't use that term... or at least, I haven't heard it here. Tiger is sort of a silly name, but my first boss when I was 18 was named Tiger so I've never thought of it as a terribly unusual name.

Then again, my parents named me "Nice Hat" so who am I to talk?

[Requia ☣]

I've heard it before, once, ever.

There's also the new name thing Catholics do at confirmation, but nobody takes that seriously around here (I can't even remember what mine is).

[Freeky]

The only thing I seem to recall about Christian names is that way back when owners gave heathen slaves who had names their owners couldn't pronounce "Christian" names.

I don't know how this term would apply today.
