thetonester Wrote:...the best tactic with these loons is just ignore.......

After reading the whole thread, here at work, I know lot of "bad words" i've never heard before.
It's OK, I'm pretty sure none in England or USA speaks like the Oxford First Certificate books and such say.

Now can someone tell me what does LOON mean? I do use another nick when "in uniform" that after years using it, I noticed was another word for "crazy" wich was far from my intention.

Thanks in advance, gents. :wink:

BTW, I totally agree above's quote.

Loon short for lunatic, which probably itself has something to do with the idea that lunatics come out around full moon, lunar/lunatic possibly?

Loon = Type of bird. - RAF_Samson - 23.11.2007

Howdy Y'all,

Just for your own edification Loon, a loon here in the states is also a type of bird, read below mate.

Quote:The loons (e.g. North America) or divers (e.g. UK/Ireland) are a group of aquatic birds found in many parts of North America and northern Europe. A loon is the size of a large duck or small goose, which it somewhat resembles in shape when swimming.

The plumage is largely black-and-white, with grey on the head and neck in some species, and a white belly, and all species have a spear-shaped bill. All living species of loons are members of one genus (Gavia[1] in a family (Gaviidae), and order (Gaviiformes) all of their own.

The European name "diver" comes from the bird's habit of catching fish by swimming calmly along the surface and then abruptly plunging into the water. The North American name loon comes from the bird's haunting, yodeling cry.

cool, learn something every day!
guessing these are the diving, fish eating ducks i see on the rivers occasionally.

Yup Loon,

If you don't learn something new every day then you must be doing something wrong. Unfortunately for me I usually manage to forget anything I learned today by tomorrow! LOL.
