(12,132 posts)wtf does he think an ankle biter is?
fleur-de-lisa
(14,624 posts)'ankle biter' much as I might use 'rug rat' to refer to small children. So toddlers are going to hell?
OriginalGeek
(12,132 posts)but maybe he figures the age of accountability is whenever you're old enough to bite an ankle. What a loony.

(2,243 posts)Ankle Biter sounds more like an unruly child.
frogmarch
(12,153 posts)I'd never heard of that one before. I like it!

ankle biter
A derogatory term used to refer to someone of Indian descent.
Ankle biters like to eat curry.
Not sure how that one came to be.
frogmarch
(12,153 posts)I'm of Indian descent. I don't much like curry, but still.
Google says that Thirsty Dog Brewing Company brews "Ankle Biter American-style India Pale Ale," but it doesn't say why it's called Ankle Biter.

The phrase then seems to disappear from sight for over 100 years. It isn't clear whether the Harper's citation was a one-off usage and the phrase originated later independently. It's possible that it stayed alive as un-recorded slang but, even if it did stay in the language from 1850 onward, printed citations appear to be in limbo until Iona and Peter Opie's The lore and language of schoolchildren, 1959:
"A chap who has got duck's disease is most often labelled 'Tich in a friendly manner, or 'squirt or 'little squirt in a less friendly manner. Alternatively: ankle biter, dolly mixture (etc.)."
It is included in several lists of phrases as being of Australian origin but, whilst it certainly sounds Australian, the early references to the phrase in print don't support such an origin.

(12,132 posts)not sure if that counts but I'm proud to be counted among them if it does.

(1,139 posts)This is obviously a very nice and open minded person. First of all, see how inclusive they are? They seem to want to include most people. OK, maybe not most people but most that are my friends so that counts as far as I am concerned.
But you really seem to have missed the big picture here. They are open minded enough to want to give folks a choice. They did not say to obey Jesus or go to hell....read it again. They want to offer people that they have two choices of what they can do and either one is ok....Obey Jesus or Obey Hellfire....either one is fine with this person and they are good with you no matter who you are!!! lol.

(16,860 posts)I'd truly like to know how even half of these are even listed....
Let's start with "gamers"...how are "gamers" sinners (It doesn't count to call out gamer gate cause those fuckers are already on the list for other things)
As for "Dykes on Bikes"? That sounds like either a helluva party or an amazing rock band!
"Female Enablers"??? Is that me? I have two daughters that I hope I am helping to make into strong, independent, women. I love and build up my wife as well. I suppose I'm an enabler!
The money lovers one just cracked me up...I mean our country just elected a chief "money lover"...
Well, friends, save me a spot in Hades. Looks like it's going to be an awesome time!

(3,275 posts)Notice it doesn't include rapists, spousal abusers or child abusers. Also, couldn't ankle biters refer to puppies and kittens. That means that there aren't dogs and cats in heaven.

(9,808 posts)If hell's got a permanent heat source, then by now, there's power and refrigeration. So my bet is on ice being available to make a civilized gin and tonic.
And I'd rather take my tribe and an eternal lake of fire than 20 minutes with the self-righteous and their Supply Side Turbo Jesus.
