Isn't it Blessed are the Meeque Clique, puppy?

Threadworm · 18/03/2008 14:50

We are going in circles now.

(A clique circulique)

PuppyMonkey · 18/03/2008 14:52

Oh yes. The meak. I've got A level RE you know...

But the weak too, they never get anything.

And the cheese makers...

edam · 18/03/2008 14:55

Oh, 'click' never fails to rile me, it doesn't even sound the ruddy same!

In fact I'm so cross I may have to strique across a cricket pitch in protest...

edam · 18/03/2008 14:56

Puppy, I've always understood that I am blessed, no?

Swedes · 18/03/2008 14:57

Nom de Plume - very good

hotcrossMonkeybun · 18/03/2008 15:48

i've been naming chiques, come and join me

princessosyth · 18/03/2008 15:53

Do you pronounce it "Clique" or "Click"? I always pronounce it "Clique" and my sister rofl at me the other day, she said it is pronounced "Click". Is she right? Are they all laughing at me behind my back? Am I destined to always be on the fringe of all the cliques because I can't even say the bloody word?

hotcrossMonkeybun · 18/03/2008 15:55

of course it's pronounced clique, not 'click'. your sister is wrong. It's French FGS.

SquonkForgotHerEasterName · 18/03/2008 15:56

it's pronounced cleak
your sis is a numpty

princessosyth · 18/03/2008 15:58

Hooray! I will start my very own clique tomorrow!

moomooface · 18/03/2008 16:01

Princess - according to the pronunciation info in my trusty Chambers Dictionary it is definitely pronounced cleek. Said dictionary also cites the origin of the word as likely to be from the French claque, and probably associated with click... AAAARGH

midnightexpress · 18/03/2008 16:06

I always thought 'click' was American .

midnightexpress · 18/03/2008 16:07

I mean the pronunciation.

onebatmother · 18/03/2008 18:30

Oh no! moomoo. That is bad news indeed.

MmeCellophane · 18/03/2008 18:54

May I miquely add that I sique to join the pique?

MmeCellophane · 18/03/2008 18:56

(yes, it did take 2 mins to think of that one...)

Janni · 18/03/2008 21:29

This thread is just too clicky.

StealthPolarBear · 18/03/2008 22:15

we should add it to a wiki
if that's not a bit too picky
off to eat a bicky

onebatmother · 18/03/2008 23:58
