Message: [QUOTE="Sproj, post: 2819345, member: 8423"] [SIZE=6][B]slapstick[/B][/SIZE] [slap-stik] [SIZE=4][B]noun[/B][/SIZE] [LIST=1] [*]broad comedy characterized by boisterous action, as the throwing of pies in actors' faces, mugging, and obvious farcical situations and jokes. [*]a [URL='http://www.dictionary.com/browse/stick']stick[/URL] or lath used by harlequins, clowns, etc., as in pantomime, for striking other performers, especially a combination of laths that make a loud, clapping noise without hurting the person struck. Dictionary.com reference. I will add that any actual respectable theatre dictionary or institute will clarify it as physical comedy as highlighted in the first definition here. [/LIST] Now I can tailor that to readanyway I want to. However, one of my majors is in performing arts, I'm more than comfortable in knowing the meaning and 'not relying on others'. Your joke was in poor taste. I'm not one to usually enter stupid debates on semantics so I'll leave it there. [/QUOTE]
