^^ hi~
I'm Kim Joo Chang...
I looked around mostly u'r site.
I was impressed about u'r special story and community.
Please understand the english is poor ^^;;;;
But I have a question.
What means Samsung diarrhea?
Maybe... because the support of our colleage is Samsung... I wrote on my bleg about Samsung to extol and a member comment say about quote "spare us your Samsung diarrhea"
My dictionary I understood like that kaka or to make a dirt
Sorry.
I'm confused about english slang
bye~ ^ ^

Diarrhea is kaka, of the uncontrollable type. It is usually because of illness, so the blogger was saying that your comments about Samsung were as disagreeable to him as a case of diarrhea. Ignore him. He is rude. Welcome to the board, Kim.

Not only that he didn't care for it, he implies that you went on and on and on about it. People who talk non-stop about nothing interesting or make continuous unwanted sounds with their mouths are sometimes said to have oral diarrhea.

>>implies that you went on and on and on about it. << Unpleasantness aside, to my mind the "going on and on" is the defining characteristic for labeling something diarrhea. But that's just me!

Or, as Anthony Burgess said, in The Earthly Powers, verborrhea.

Doesn't bother me, but some abhor mixing Latin and Greek suchwise.

The prescriptivist side of my Janus-like brain totally agrees with zmjezhd on the issue of mixing Latin stems and roots with Greek stems and roots to produce new words. When in the process of producing one, I (tend to) avoid that, in the same way that I cook no Greco-Italian dishes.
The descriptivist side of the selfsame brain says that almost any word used by Anthony Burgess is worthy of consideration because, whatever else one may think of his writing, he had a masterful command of English and may be emulated (in his writing, if nothing else) to one's benefit.

Whoa, I was right! Good one, Faldage! With bolding added:
tele-
comb. form meaning "far, far off," from Gk. tele-...
vision
c.1290, "something seen in the imagination or in the supernatural," from Anglo-Fr. visioun, O.Fr. vision, from L. visionem (nom. visio)...
