Saint_lambden Posted 6 September, 2015 Posted 6 September, 2015 You do know anyone can edit Wikipedia, right?
Saint-Armstrong Posted 6 September, 2015 Posted 6 September, 2015 'Died after a gunfight with his wife' doesn't sound how it'd be 'properly' entered, if that makes sense...?
marc_saint Posted 6 September, 2015 Author Posted 6 September, 2015 You do know anyone can edit Wikipedia, right? Of course. That's the reason I put "sad if true" Sent from my SM-G928F using Tapatalk
Saint-Armstrong Posted 6 September, 2015 Posted 6 September, 2015 (edited) Just ran a search for news articles on the internet and the last thing that came up was an interview in which he said Mutu is a great player, on Aug 23rd. Nothing from his club and he's still listed there everywhere else, so looks like someone was just on a wind-up. Edited 6 September, 2015 by Saint-Armstrong
Dark Munster Posted 6 September, 2015 Posted 6 September, 2015 Reports of his death are an exaggeration.
VectisSaint Posted 6 September, 2015 Posted 6 September, 2015 The dinlo that made the changes couldn't even get the right, said he died on the 5th when he/she posted it on the 4th. Maybe it was Mystic Meg. Really pathetic. Wiki have fixed it anyway.
ssaints Posted 6 September, 2015 Posted 6 September, 2015 He also didn't score 74 goals for us like it claims!

VectisSaint Posted 6 September, 2015 Posted 6 September, 2015 exaggerating a death? Its a misquoted Americanism, attributed incorrectly to a minor literary figure
SNSUN Posted 6 September, 2015 Posted 6 September, 2015 Wikipedia is fun, take a look at which team Jhon Viafara played for in 2010 after leaving us...
Crazy Diamond Posted 6 September, 2015 Posted 6 September, 2015 [Joke about shooting whilst offside here]
david in sweden Posted 7 September, 2015 Posted 7 September, 2015 Its a misquoted Americanism, attributed incorrectly to a minor literary figure ......hardly a minor American literary figure, surely ... and isn't the quote ..." reports of my death have been ....greatly exaggerated ?
Snopper Posted 7 September, 2015 Posted 7 September, 2015 My bad I never understand what that means. Would you be so kind as to explain/ Genuine question from a septuagenarian struggling with the modern world.
VectisSaint Posted 7 September, 2015 Posted 7 September, 2015 ......hardly a minor American literary figure, surely ... and isn't the quote ..." reports of my death have been ....greatly exaggerated ? Whoosh... I thought it was only Americans who didn't get irony. Twain never said what is often quoted, nor did he say what started this off in post #6. http://oupacademic.tumblr.com/post/48310773463/misquotation-reports-of-my-death-have-been
brmbrm Posted 7 September, 2015 Posted 7 September, 2015 I never understand what that means. Would you be so kind as to explain/ Genuine question from a septuagenarian struggling with the modern world. It means its a bad thing wot he done. Its sort of like "My mistake" for the under 60's
VectisSaint Posted 7 September, 2015 Posted 7 September, 2015 I never understand what that means. Would you be so kind as to explain/ Genuine question from a septuagenarian struggling with the modern world. "mea culpa". A flippant apology. Apparently "originated" in USA street basketball in the 1980s (whatever that is). However the minor English literary figure W Shakespeare had previously used the phrase in Sonnet 112 (with apologies to David in Sweden).
sussexsaint Posted 7 September, 2015 Posted 7 September, 2015 I thought it was Papa Mango who played for us ?
Whitey Grandad Posted 7 September, 2015 Posted 7 September, 2015 "mea culpa". A flippant apology. Apparently "originated" in USA street basketball in the 1980s (whatever that is). However the minor English literary figure W Shakespeare had previously used the phrase in Sonnet 112 (with apologies to David in Sweden). Hardly a phrase, more like a couple of words amongst a load of others, indeed he used the couplet 'my bad, my good'. He might equally have said 'my bad tooth'. Anyway, it only took 400 years or so to catch on and there is no need for us to encourage its use. Is there any definitive news about our old mate Papa?
Snopper Posted 7 September, 2015 Posted 7 September, 2015 It means its a bad thing wot he done. Its sort of like "My mistake" for the under 60's Many thanks for the explanation - I would have preferred "My mistake" though.
buctootim Posted 7 September, 2015 Posted 7 September, 2015 Died after a gunfight with his wife. He couldn't shoot straight apparently.
The9 Posted 7 September, 2015 Posted 7 September, 2015 I had assumed she didn't respond well to his axe blow to her neck.
eelpie Posted 7 September, 2015 Posted 7 September, 2015 I thought it was Papa Mango who played for us ? Was it in summertime, or have I got this wrong?
scotty Posted 7 September, 2015 Posted 7 September, 2015 I can't believe we've had 25 posts on this thread without a single reference to pistorious. Hang your heads in shame.

It's a common misconception that Mark Twain said that reports of Papa Waigo's death have been greatly exaggerated.
CumbrianSaint Posted 7 September, 2015 Posted 7 September, 2015 its his transfer fees which are more impressive on that wiki page!
CumbrianSaint Posted 8 September, 2015 Posted 8 September, 2015 Well hes not dead now, and he wasnt transferred for 50 million, life is back to normal!

I think it was Mark Twain that said referring to Papa Waigo as a "Southampton hero" is a bit of an exaggeration. He did a decent job for us at the time though.

Did he not have the internet to see Southampton wasn't in London and that Saints weren't in the 2nd tier?
Nordic Saint Posted 26 April, 2020 Posted 26 April, 2020 The Urban dictionary has even stranger entries than Wikipedia: https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Portsmouth https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Scummer
waylander Posted 26 April, 2020 Posted 26 April, 2020 Did he not have the internet to see Southampton wasn't in London and that Saints weren't in the 2nd tier? He wasn't aware his fitness coach at Fiorentina was the son of the manager so....
