from Flieger flyer + Abwehr defense + Kanonen cannons
another loanword from German, then
A loan-acronym, indeed, hev!
I wonder (aloud) if there are many loan-acronyms?

intolerant young ..I ought to know -- I was like that at that age.Damn. And here am I finding myself getting more and more crotchety and reactionary the older I get. Must have taken a wrong turn somewhere.

both adolescent and indicative of low IQEgad! There are high IQ adolescents out there now, jo? When I was an adolescent the hormonal carpet-bombing put paid to most coherent thought, let alone IQ tests. Not sure what my excuse is now.

I don't have any problem at all with adolescent behavior manifested at any age. Adolescent intent of that behavior is what is to be considered. Even our beloved wwh has behaved adolescently here to my complete delight! And wwh knows that I'm not insulting either him or his IQ.
milum often posts adolescent commentary here, and those are some of the best to read here. milum shore ain't got no IQ problem.
The information is fine on AWAD, but, me, I like the adolescence, too. Truth be known, I like the adolescent commentary probably best of all 'cause I know it's coming from people with IQs high as anybody'd need 'em to be.
W'ON: I liked your "eye cue" phrase! That is pretty potent to consider, you know, if you think about it?
Me, I don't use many emoticons. Not 'cause of refusing to be adolescent. My behavior here is already adolescent enough, thank goodness. I would like (big wish) for Anu to find a raspberry emoticon--one that bubbled its little raspberry-colored lips and tiny raspberry tongue. I'd use that one a lot!
Best regards,
Dub-Dub

wwh - I'll try to make this "flak free"."The use of smileys is both adolescent and indicative of low IQ".I'm glad you clarified that for us!  INCOMING!!!This sounds like a comment coming from someone who just finished adolescence.  Whew - that was close...Why would I seek usage *comments from someone who doesn't speak my language?  I heard the bullet whizz right past my ear on that one...If *they gave us "the bird" I wouldn't feel so obfuscative. Welcome aboard, jopublic! Life jackets on the right, please spit before you puke, and no smoking on deck after dark.However, it is my solemn *duty to come up with a nickname for anyone who can be so "touchy-feely" as quickly as you have... I dub thee... "Q-less". hev - Sensitive schmensitive!

I'm offering 8 to 5 odds that Jopublic =/< 20 years old.Now now, adolescents and adolesense are two different things. Age bashing is getting old.

The use of smileys is both adolescent and indicative of low IQ.Huh? I don't understand.  And that's unusual, coz I is the smartest person on this board. Let us go in peace to love and serve the board.

<<The use of smileys is both adolescent and indicative of low IQ [etc.] >>
In answer, let me paraphrase,
'An absolutely invaluable contribution to [boardacol]. Well done. Have you any idea of the price of potatos these days?'
***
Having said that
Anyone else mystified by jopu's blow from left field? I think he must have been rankled by Mav's response to his potato gunning in another thread ("I think I've Coined a New Expression"). The offending characters were [;p] (excluding brackets). Is that for "laugh?"
