My dog poops in the ocean

there ya go:

"(With) a grain of salt," (or "a pinch of salt") in modern English, is an idiom which means to view something with skepticism, or to not take it literally.[1]
History

Theories of the phrase's origin include Pliny the Elder's Naturalis Historia, regarding the discovery of a recipe for an antidote to a poison.[2] In the antidote, one of the ingredients was a grain of salt. Threats involving the poison were thus to be taken "with a grain of salt," and therefore less serious.

The Latin phrase cum grano salis ("with a grain of salt") is not what Pliny wrote. It is constructed according to the grammar of modern European languages rather than Classical Latin. Pliny's actual words were addito salis grano ("add a grain of salt").

An alternative account says that the Roman general Pompey believed he could make himself immune to poison by ingesting small amounts of various poisons, and he took this treatment with a grain of salt to help him swallow the poison. In this version, the salt is not the antidote. It was taken merely to assist in swallowing the poison.

The Latin word salis means both "salt" and "wit," so that the Latin phrase "cum grano salis" could be translated as both "with a grain of salt" and "with a grain (small amount) of wit." [3]

 

Hey thanks, man. Yeah I know how to use the phrase but didn't know nothing aboot it's orgin or where the literal actually came from.

Pump, you have done a great service to the community. Education is fantastic. Plus this could be something I encounter on Jeopardy with Alex Trebek.

Hey Pump, keep your pants pulled up, ok. Don't want you to get a ticket or anything...........

 

If you need to refuel it, through some political crap in there. LOL

 

Fish poop in the ocean too, but you don't hear anyone complaining about that.

 

Dog crap in public places, in a addition to being gross and in violation of local ordinance in most municipalities, is a know reservoir of pathogens that cause diseases in humans, including cystitis and neonatal meningitis. That's why there's poop scoop laws... because there's enough E. coli in dog waste to cause beach closings in many towns if there weren't.

 

Mannisses, do you think Paddington Jetty Bear has sabotaged your thread, OR made your thread?? I say it could go either way.

PJB, hope that's cool... Amigo?

 

my dog never defecates (happy Bear??) in the water but now I am going to train her to do it.

 

I take credit for neither. My posts were on topic or a direct response to a previous relpy. That's the facts.

Narragansett Beer is the worse beer in the world. Wow, they still make that stuff? At least it was horrible in the early 90's.

Oh everything's always cool, Ocean City & South Carolina - 83.

 

That's disgusting and good way to get people sick who are swimming near that. There's a reason dogs are banned from most beaches during the in-season.

 

Some people just don't know how to laugh anymore

 

No but the Scotish do. We were in Scotland years ago and ordered a Scotch and water. Bartender looked straight at me and said, " Aye laddy don't ya know fish **** in water?

 

Nice dog. Gold fur in da house, ya know what it is that I be sayin' ? You bes' treat that dog good, or I'll tell T-Bone to pass the barrel and don't give me that sh!t aboot role model.

Now that is posting on a surf predictin' website forum - Gold fur praise and an Ice Cube lyric thrown in for good measure. Wow, that was uncanny. That just stepped up the game 2.6 fold

I'm sure many members of the Swellinfo community are disappointed that you didn't take(post) any pictures of her in the "act." The Swellinfo community seems to have a disturbing admiration for all things fecal.

That Meatloaf dude is probably going nuts right now, as he seems to mention evacuating one's bowels in every comment he makes. Ahhh, dope does strange things to one's mind. I mean, just look at Courtney Love. They get what they want and they never want it again......Booooosh......I just did it again. Opps I did it again, I played with your heart

Wow, Gold Retriever, Ice Cube, Hole featuring Courtney Love, and Brittany Spears..........

The above does not represent the opinions of the website and is purely for entertainment value only. All opinions expressed are the sole intellectual property of Paddington Jetty Bear and do not reflect on Swellinfo or any of its subsidiaries. It is pure conjecture whether Courtney Love has ever used mind altering substances, and the expressed was not to be taken literally nor figuretively(sp).

While not as bad as Tom Cruise(allegedly), you have to watch yourself legally with Ms. Love.

 

Good deal, Manisses. However this quality post will be ignored and not properly worshipped due to the Dear Ann Landers influence spreading across forum land. " Help, I got a probelm !!!"

Do you know your Swellinfo handle F's me up. I spent 8 months living in Northern Virginia, thinking I was moving to Canada, and avoiding the rough New Jersey streets. I ran across a group of "cotton" fanatics from Manassas, VA. I called them the "Cotton Kids." So everytime I see your name I go, " Ohh whoa, cotton kids." Gives me a fright everytime. Never did make it to Canada either.

Oh, do you really drink Naraganssett Beer? Man, in 1990 I used to hang at a castle in Worcester, MA and drink that stuff......or cruising Main ST or Peidmont St. Ewwww, that stuff was not any good, Manisses. Natural Ice is a good cheap beer. Ok, as you were.
