Regarding Urist
« on: June 28, 2009, 12:43:39 am »
Urist is the Russian word for lawyer. (from Juris, latin) So next time when your fort fails, instead of blaming the soapmakers, you can blame the lawyers.

Let's shake hands if you want but soon both hands are gone, A-ha-ha!
Cut me down like a tree like the lumber or weeds, well discard who you please like the leaves off a tree. Drag me out of the sea and then teach me to breath. Give me forced health till I wish death on myself. Ah! Ha! Ha!

Um, I've always thought "Oo-er - wrist".  As in what you'd expect if you read it phonetically (UR-ist).

Most of the time when someone is described as politically correct they are simply correct.

I always say it like "You-Wrist", however, "Ooh-Wrist" sounds more authentic.
