Think the OP used or coined the word "fruckus" by design.

The original translations of SNAFU, FUBAR, and TUBAR contain the key element to understanding the word. While F-bombs are out of place here - the OP skirts that issue with some grace.

Card Sharp is actually correct

Seems it's a matter of preference, but I didn't know that. So I learned something. Thanks.

Card shark vs. card sharp

Card sharp is preferred in British English, while card shark is more common in American, Canadian, and Australian English. They share their main definitions—namely, (1) a professional card player, (2) a person who is skilled in card games, and (3) a person who is skilled in cheating at card games. The British card sharp more often implies cheating. Card shark, especially in American English,is often simply a term for someone who spends a lot of time playing cards.

Both terms are sometimes hyphenated, and they’re sometimes condensed into a single compound word—cardsharp or cardshark. But the two-word, unhyphenated forms are more common in edited publications.

I see what you did there (see bolded). . . .

I can only imagine how she'd react to the contraction of a contraction: "di'int"!!! As in, "Oh no you di'int!"

He said why: because he's a CCer who is competent, and you're not.

The only thing he left out was a threat to draw and keep the OCer covered while ushering his family out the door.

The word "ain't" was included the in THIRD edition of the Merriam-Webster dictionary, which was published in 1961. It was given legitimacy by lexicographers as "common usage", and the use of "ain't" still carries the stigma of "poor grammar", and as being indicative of a lack of education. Pax...

So if grandma didn't allow contractions in her house, did she allow contractions in the hospital? :banana:
