Magic cross question....

Hey, RAB. I have a question for anyone here that might have/know about
problems with my magic cross (ampallang at 10G and apadravya at 10G
combo). I am wondering if gauging my ampallang to a 6G is going to
cause any pinching problems with the apadravya being so close?
Thanks :D

What, is it common knowledge?

You mean stretching. Gauge is used for measurement. No wonder you
are confused.

Think about this for a moment. Did you give any measurement on
placement to us? The size of the head of your penis is an unknown.
The placement is unknown.

Do you have any 6 gauge jewelry? Place it in the relative position
and see if there is potential touching.

You will probably be more comfortable in general with the larger
gauge.

But really, why don't you ask your piercer. I assume he/she has
actually seen your penis.

Is what common knowledge? Go to wikipedia.org and type magic cross.
It's the first thing that comes up. Not to mention the fact that I
described what it was.

If you were good at being a smart ass, you'd go to google and type
"define:gauge" into the search box to verify your correction. You'd
get the following result in the set:
' adapt to a specified measurement'.

Nice try, though. Really.

No, the jewelery wont touch, there would be about a half inch between
them. I'll just ask my piercer, though. Not sure why I considered
that. Ignoring from the false corrections, thank you.

You asked about problems with "your" Magic Cross. The question is,
therefore, "are the problems with your penis common knowledge?"

Bitch, bitch, bitch. Are you sure you even have a penis, 'cause I
think you are on the rag?" And being on Google does not make it
common knowledge.

And if you were good at comprehension you might have realized it is
closer to "tare."
Left out a bit, didn't you? Here it is: "gauge the instruments"
That doesn't mean to stretch.

And being a smart ass has nothing to do with Google. Some of us have
knowledge that runs deep. We don't have to do research for every
thought we have or sentence we write. if you wish to be a junior Curt
James, go right ahead. You'll be loved in the same manner.

Even that paragraph didn't really make sense. Are you saying you
aren't sure why you didn't ask your piercer?

By the way, I DID give you very useful info. I have a magic cross.
Have had one for years. And I've been here for years. Which brings
us to the question of "Who are you?"

"gauge the instruments" was an example usage. That's how most online
dictionaries work. You get a definition, and then one or more expample
usages. You can gauge - or stretch - a piercing, too. Let's break it
down for the ones who can't research their arguments, shall we?

Definition of gauge:
* adapt to a specified measurement;

Therefore, gauging can be related to to piercings. If we are adapting
our piercing to 6G, we have gauged it. Which is a better way to say it
than to say stretching, because gauging implies you know what
measurement you've stretched to. If we define adapt, the first result
makes it obvious, even to the stubborn, that it would be the same
thing as stretching.

Definitions of adapt:
* make fit for, or change to suit a new purpose;

So, if I gauged my piercing to be 6G, I would have adjusted (or
stretched) it to fit a new specific gauge. Easy enough, right?

Being a smart ass is great, but when you don't know what you're
talking about, it just blows up in your face. At that point I can go
ahead and call you something else.

Definitions of idiot:
* a person of subnormal intelligence

Having knowledge is great, if you know what you're talking about.
However, stupidity is funny - so thanks for the laugh.

I said thank you for the useful info. If you didn't give any, I
wouldn't have said it.

And as I pointed out, you did not give the complete example. Are you
honestly saying that it says "Stretching the instruments?" because
that is, in reality what you are saying. And that is why using gauge
as a synonym for "to stretch" is not correct. And please notice, you
are also mixing usage with definition. They are two different things.



>You get a definition, and then one or more expample
> usages.

The above sentence has nothing to do with the following sentence of
yours:

>You can gauge - or stretch - a piercing, too.

The too means also here. The only thing you have stretched is any
possible meaning of either stretch or gauge. Of course, you have to
in order to try and prove your point.

And as I pointed out earlier, you left out: gauge the instruments. It
means all instruments measure in a comparable fashion. Perhaps you
might see that if you are looking at specific instruments, they should
read in like fashion? That maybe all blood-pressure cuffs should read
in like fashion?

And if you want to go into listings of definitions, those listed later
are generally not the most used.

You can keep trying to insert gauge, even try to add another word such
as adapt, but you don't get egg roll, baby. Gauge now is a synonym
for adapt? You may gauge the emotions of the room in order to adapt
your speech, but even you can see the difference.
<snipped your idiocy>

You logic is a full stretch. Sad.

And you are proof of that.

Re-reading your posts?

Regardless of your personal preference and whatever's in your
dictionary, gauge is frequently used as a term to indicate stretching
a piercing. Deny all you want, Kavvy.

Someone with a question. Perhaps you'll get around to answering it?
Especially seeing as how you've stated you have that piercing.

Just out of curiosity why did you give up on wikipedia when trying to define gauge?
'Cos you could have easily found this

--The size of a stretched piercing, see stretching (body piercing) --

Which would have led you to this

--Stretching (body piercing)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search
Stretching (sometimes incorrectly referred to as gauging), in the context of body piercing, is the deliberate expansion of a healed fistula (hole in the skin) for the purpose of wearing body piercing jewelry. Ear piercings are the most commonly stretched piercings, with nasal septum piercings, tongue piercings, and lip piercings/lip plates following close behind. All piercings can be stretched to some degree, however. Cartilage piercings are usually more difficult to stretch, and more likely to form hypertrophic scars or keloids if stretched quickly--



And then you... oh, never mind.

I have never denied its use. But the fact that it is used does not
make it correct. I have always said it is an incorrect usage.

You like it because it further dilutes language and allows a gray
area. You love the argument of context. And as I've said before,
defining by context is not the best way. But then, you have never
been accused of choosing the best way, have you?

I know it's a big boner you have for me, but it ain't that big. I did
answer the question. Look again.

And from Urban Dictionary
A word that describes the act of stretching a piercing.

1.How long did it take you to gauge your ears.
2.I think I'm going to gauge my ears today.

Fuck off curt.

Use of a word does not equal correct use.
Correct use of a word is governed by it's definition.
Show a credible source to prove that gauge or gauging is synonymous with stretching.
Show a credible source to prove that gauge or gauging is a verb.
Tip - An open-source dictionary or encyclopedia is not, by it's nature, a credible source. As evidenced by the conflicting entries for the words gauge and gauging in the urban dictionary.
In your offering above you do the same as the OP and omit the info that doesn't suit you.
It's no surprise that he found an ally in you.
Using gauge in the way you advocate is slang at best, and to claim it as the right choice of word in the context of RAB is just dumb.

But then, you've made it hard to expect anything else.

And in response to your very correct post, Curt will probably only
point out your use of "it's" instead of "its"

But then, within the context of the sentence, we know what you mean.

Really? Try again. It says the opposite.

It's so sad when 40-somethings try to act withit.

I think everyone should just realize that Kavin here is retarded and
