ouch!
what does WWE stand for?
I thought wrestling was supposed to be fake.
is this for insurance purposes?
I hate the word "fatty".
it makes me feel nauseous.
ouch!
ouch!
OUCH!
ouch!
Ouch!
Oh my god, Go, I hate the word "Fatty" too!
also "sequin", "purple" and "oblivious" .....I feeling like vomitting just thinking about those words.
I hate the word "panties". eww
In shock, WWE stands for World Wrestling Entertainment, Inc., I think it was changed from wwf cuz wwf stands for a bunch of other things.
But what I want to know is, who's Holly?
Ouch!
That's gonna leave a mark.
I think it might be a note to excuse an abcense from school. I have written them this sloppily when I am in a hurry.
I think your right, hot mom.
How stupid can you two be? It was found in a wrestling collosium. 'Hot mom", your IQ must be about room temp.
I agree "panties" is a gross word "fatty" is okay. "24 stitches" is also flinch inducing.
Holly and Jason and Tiffany and Jose all went to the show together. Holly got bopped in the head with a folding chair that was flung from the ring. Dutiful boyfriend that he is, Jason accompanied Holly to the medical center to get stitches. When he returned to the show, it was still so loud that he had to write a note to Tiffany and Jose just to let them know how Holly was doing.
because that chair actually broke into a bazillion pieces and stabbed the unfortunate Holly in the back.
hey herve...wanna turn your autistic nastiness dial down a notch? because *clearly* they were joking...
i near burst out laughing to see the long string of 'ouch!' replies...and i think that's the briefest SALT posting i've ever read!
Why do you call me autistic?
...Ouch!
because the profoundly autistic have difficulty detecting sarcasm. probably one of the more unclassy comments i've made.
No. I'm not autistic, I just happen not to speak your english a well as some of you think you so do. I think "hot mom" is a joker only because of her name.
OUCH!
I think it's the doctor's chart. HMO's just ain't what they used to be.
Ouch!
Holly is a dude. Hardcore Holly.
Yes, Hardcore Holly. Or perhaps Molly Holly...
Yes definitely Hardcore Holly. Here is a link:
http://www.wwe.com/inside/news/archive/hollyin
I guess the sword wasn't a prop after all. Oh, by the way.....Ouch!
Well Wit, good find! That rather solves all the mystery of this, except for who wrote it... and to whom.
Maybe this was all part of the act? I don't know how it goes in Americaland but I've always thought that wrestling was just men's version of a soap opera...
I think, these are the sloppy notes of a mediocre newspaper reporter. Probablly stalking "Holly" after the trip to the medical center.
he went through a table? ouch.
That sounds very painful.
I hate back wounds. Always makes me think about old westerns, that remind me of my late GrandDad. Why old westerns? I remember seeing something about how wrong it
is to shot a person in the back. Makes them a coward, I have colleges like that. Where was this found? One might have done the stitching....Ouch!
I like how it's written in RED pen. Drives the point of "ouch" home with a little more impact.
I think Holly's mom wrote this note to excuse her from the wrestling match.
Someone with 'roid rage whacked Holly with a ladder . I can't believe that people have nothing better to do than enjoy pro wrestling .
Stone Cold, that was funny. I hadn't thought about tinkle in ages. It is a funny word.
"Fatty" is not a funny word. I don't like it at all, especially when combined with "tissue."
Ditto to going to puke, I know what you mean.
I like autistic people. I also like the phrase "use your noodle."
Why did Yankee Doodle stick a noodle in his hat and call it macaroni? I have always wondered about this.
I don't like the words britches , yonder , yung'uns , or when people pronounce schedule shedule .
She should make sure she sees a doctor about that wound. I wonder how much weight she can lift now?
Clover - he stuck a feather in his cap and called it macaroni.
The Macaroni Club consisted of young, wealthy British gentlemen who traveled
to France and Italy and adopted the ostentatious and flamboyant fashions
popular in those countries during the eighteenth century. The Macaronis, not members of a true club but rather a new generation of continental society, were often ridiculed by the British establishment.
from: http://www.jolique.com/social_status/yankee_doodle.
The joke was that a colonial—a Yankee "dandy"—would stick a feather in his tricorne or coonskin cap and think himself as fashionable as any man à la mode in Paris or Rome.
from: http://www.yourdictionary.com/library/yankee.html
Since we're on the topic, I know what you mean.
Oh, thank you Switz! This is one of the reasons I come to Found, always something to learn. That is so interesting.
Now I wonder why they called it the Macaroni Club. As usual, when you really learn something, you always come away with more questions!
I still remember it as a noodle though! Maybe we made it up as a joke and I forgot the part about making it up.
Back in a moment....You made me chuckle.
...and going to the link you posted, Switz, I found the answer to that question: The Macaroni moniker was a tongue-in-cheek reference to their import of foreign cuisine as well as fashion.
Hi Clover - actually, Yankee Doodle stuck a FEATHER in his cap and called it macaroni. i read once that back in Yankee Doodle's day, 'macaroni' meant 'fashion' of some sort. so he stuck the feather in his had to be a fashionable - or so he thought... but noodle makes more sense b/c you do use noodles to make macaroni. whatever Yankee Doodle...oh, plus, OUCH!
just to clarify - i started my post then walked away for awhile. came back and posted. i didn't see all the posts about the same subject. my point? just saying i wasn't being a wise-ass by posting info on top of better info. that's all. OUCH!
HOLLY PROBABLY LEARNED A VALUABLE LESSON
I WAS STILL FUCKING CAMPING AT 12AM, DOUCHEFACE
As a matter of fact--and a mind of fiction--Hervé, the word is "coliseum". Which is pretty much the same in French and Spanish.
So don't call other people "stupid" until you learn to spell.
I always thought wrestling went on in a ring or an arena, anyway...
I don't know why, when I read this find, I immediately thought "Holly" was someone's pet...
It can't have been a nice experience. Wonder how it happened?
Oh, Norma Jean, are you looking for a man? I am an single male 35 year of age and I hope for a green card.
At least the person who wrote this from the WWE/WWF or whatever it is could spell... steroids, chairs to the head, massive suplexes (sp? and is this the proper term?), and all :)
P.S. I hate the word panties too... and moist... and the two words reversed and put together.
Are you kidding, Kelsey? Those are the 2 sweetest words in the English language! Lol
Are you there? Do you realy want to know who I am? And for records, everyone, I speak English better than most of you will ever speak French.
Hey Jodie, that's okay, it's risky to post on found without reading the comments first. It's risky even if you do read them first!
... btw, I always wanted to be named Jodie, that's almost my favorite name. Second only to Clover. :)
I really cannot stand the word ointment. Oiiintment... *shiver*. Creeps me out, totally.
But if you've got a case of moist (same icky ooiii sound, if you ask me) panties, you may need some ointment to cure it up.
I don't like the word "speculum".
I think it is an update for the announcer during the wrestling match. That way he can tell the crowd how Holly is doing.
An 8 inch tube of ointment is the cure I need, with a man-size applicator. Oy.
Is it risky or risque?
it's risky if it's w/o protection and risque if it's naughty.
Unworthy and Kate, you guys are funny! I don't like the word "speculum" either. It is fun to say, but brings negative associations.
In French "oi" is pronounced "wah" as in "who, moi?" Much nicer.
A really fun word to say in French is "calculatrice." Cal-cu-la-treece.
To be risqué is almost as risky as posting on Found! I never realized the connection between those words! Funny!
kate- I agree, that is a very good theory.
I hate the word libary, because it makes me want to scream "IT'S LIBRARY YOU IDIOT."
Lucky me, in a year and a half I will be using speculum's to research all day long!
actually, this was probably from in a show. a lot of times when actors are supposed to be "writing" - you know, like a letter or something in the show - they just write down lines from the show that's going on around them. i'd guess that's what this is.
haha so it's mwa-st panties. that makes it a little more tolerable...
ouch!
My first thought (having recently dissected a back) was that the fatty tissue isn't really THAT deep.
When I pasted in Wit-in-Waves link:
http://www.wwe.com/inside/news/archive/hollyin
my browser came up with this website…. It has a picture of poor Holly’s back (I must say he doesn’t look a bit like my cousin Holly! She's a blonde.)”
http://cc.msnscache.com/cache.aspx?q=833943715
Here’s the article:
9/26/2006 – “On Tuesday night, Hardcore Holly suffered a deep cut approximately 15 centimeters across the left side of his back when he and Rob Van Dam went through a table at the ECW on Sci Fi show in Tulsa, Okla.
“Holly was treated on the scene by WWE physician Dr. Ferdinand Rios.
"’Holly required 24 stitches to close the wound,’ explained Rios. ‘The injury went all the way down to the fatty tissue; the layer right above the muscle. The injury shouldn't cause him too much of a problem other than the risk of infection from a dirty ring; he'll be on antibiotics to prevent that. The stitches will stay in for ten days and he probably will not be able to wrestle for ten days.’"
….. So I think the "found" was the notes the doc used for the press conference (since it’s quoted word for word in the article) … but the doc did the stitching right in the arena! (almost) … hmmm risk of infection from a dirty ring… I won't touch that (literally!)
BONUS footage!! You can click on a link to see Holly getting stitched up (eeuw! and ouch!!), or click on a video of his ‘treatment’ (maybe after getting stitched up?) (or maybe the treatment that caused him to get 24 stitches!?)
Switz – Thanks-Great link!
And,well – ‘panties’ isn’t such a lovely word, but when you pair it with ‘crickets’, well it’s fabulous-fierce (unless, of course, you have ‘em!)
Ah… points to ponder…
btw, I didn't click on the links for the "see him get stitches" (eeuw) or "see his treatment"... if anybody does, please review & report! thanks!
Fabulous-fierce is the best phrase EVER!
wow, Camelia, it's not often that a found item actually gets documented on the comments page. I wonder if this is a first. Amazing.
Herpes, this isn't a pick up website you know. I'm sure Norma Jean would rather you keep your approached to yourself.
OH MY GOD, CAMELIA IS MY NEW IDOL. I WANT TO MARRY YOU. THIS IS AMAZING. I THINK THIS IS A HISTORICAL MOMENT. IT GIVES ME SHIVERS TO SEE A FOUND AND IT'S CONNECTION TO REAL LIFE. GOOD WORK CAMELIA.
ALSO I HATE THE WORDS "VULNERABLE" (REMINDS ME OF VENEREAL) AND "EGO" (REMINDS ME OF EGGO WAFFLES).
DID YOU KNOW THAT "MURMUR" HAS BEEN OFFICIALLY NAMED THE MOST BEAUTIFUL WORD IN THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE.
IT DOESN'T REALLY DO IT FOR ME. TOO CLOSE THE "MURDER".
What's wrong with eggo waffles? Not as good as the real thing, sure, but still mighty tasty.
And, of course, the most beautiful phrase in the english language is "cellar door".
nuh uh, toaster struedels, yo. blueberry n' shit.
ceiling fan.
and
oh yeah,
ouch!
My most-hated word is the mispronunciation of "nuclear"--even TV newscasters pronounce it "nuke-you-lure." LOOK at the word: nu-clear. How hard is that?
I too hate the word "panties" especially when pronounced "pannies" by cutesy women, as in the sentence, "You got clean pannies on, baby?"
Retch.
CLOVER, WHY ARE YOU TORTURING ME WITH THE WORD NOODLE?
I think herve (what kind of name is that?) is really hotmom.
Since we're on the topic, stay out of England and the Old West.
Since when is there fact-checking on Found? And in regards to wrestling??
That last SALT comment was definitely not SALT!
nerd, I agree, my first thought was: on a professional wrestler with 10% body fat, how deep are the ribs from the back? Not very!
I hate a lot of phrases more than I hate individual words. Like I hate "pick your brain" and "a bone to pick with you", not to mention the worst one of all: "put a bug in your ear". Ewwwwwwwwwwww! I don't even really like "brainstorm" but I put up with it because it's so common.
I really hate when people butcher common phrases. Like in the P.O.D. song Alive, they sing "I could never turn my back away". Since the song is about loving someone, I'm assuming he meant he could never turn his back on her. Never turn my back away means to continue to keep his back to her. In a similar vein, I also hate when people say "I'm always looking over my back" meant to mean looking over my shoulder. If you're looking over your back, you're facing front.
I agree with previous posters who hate the misspelling of "to" as "too". Hate it! Although my least favorite is spelling "lose" as loose. That is SO common.
I'm betting it was 'Hardcore Holly'.
I don't know Wendy in Austin, that sounded like sarcastic Salt. I too hate the word tinkle.
oh! i once had a coworker who always said "for some apparent reason" instead of "for no apparent reason"
that made me crazy! if the reason was apparent you'd just say it! ugh!
I'm with Unworthy.
I think "smegma" trumps any disgusting word previously mentioned. Ironically, "circumcision" sounds positively lyrical by comparison.
Wendy, I once made a mistake when quickly typing to my roommate before she became my roommate and "said" I didn't want to loose something and from then on was called looser (with various amounts of o's) by my very Puerto Rican roommate for the rest of our time living together. Needless to say, that is one word that I always double check before hitting enter!
Clover in the Lawn: I pronounce Ms. Foster's first name HO-dee-ay. It gives the name a certain Catholic panache.
Midlife, I see that you are continuing in the noodle and macaroni vein, panache and all.
I like Jodie pronounced with the "j." No offense to other languages, but I don't cotton to "j" pronounced as "h." Can you explain how that pronunciation is related to catholicism?
Stone Cold, I have a "noodle noodle noodle" story I am dieing to share, but I don't think I can adequately relate it here. I really wish I could though. Better yet, if I had a time machine, I would take you there so you could witness it in person. That would be the coolest!
I'm betting that "I don't cotton to" is a phrase that annoys some people. Désolée.
Hodie is Latin for "today," and is used in both secular and sacred Latin text and song; e.g. Giovanni Gabrieli (1557-1612),
"Hodie Christus natus est."
Hodie Christus natus est
hodie Salvator apparuit:
hodie in terra canunt Angeli,
laetantur Archangeli:
hodie exsultant justi, dicentes:
Gloria in excelsis Deo, alleluja.
Today is Christ born;
today the Savior has appeared;
today the Angels sing,
the Archangels rejoice;
today the righteous rejoice, saying:
Glory to God in the highest. Alleluia!
But I would rather know about noodles, noodles, noodles. And I like the name Jodie (with a J) as well. If we ever get a female British Blue Shorthair kitten, we'll name her Jodie.
Didn't anyone follow the link kindly provided by WIT in the Waves early in the day? I find Camelia's potentially copyright infringing post to be pretentious, redundant, and annoying.
I hate when people say Feb YOU ary. I know, it's "acceptable".. but it's annoying. It's as bad as nuke ya lerrr.
me too!! I think she dumbed it down for those who can't copy and paste, or right click, but WIT in the waves deserves 100% of the credit!
Doctors notes for sure!
Hey,
How did u get to work for WWE as a Stagehand?
"What's Wrong with Tinkle? said:
I think "smegma" trumps any disgusting word previously mentioned." Agree with you there. There are these very posh refrigerators called SMEG, and every time I see a Smeg fridge I can't help thinking 'Sheesh, that's gonna be pretty stinky in there'. Bleurgh.
In the United States, SMEG markets their upscale appliances under the "dkcheez" label to avoid confusion.
Jordan, I have 2 stepbrothers that have been stagehands since highschool and they recomended me to the steward of the union, local 354 of IATSE. That was maybe four years ago and I've been on their call list ever since. I've gotten to work for the WWE twice out of the last three times they came to town. Here's a link to another note I found while working at the Motley Crue concert: http://www.foundmagazine.com/find/1045
Tinkle Toes, I just got it. Bleurgh!
Ouch!
Hey Chris,
Can you please e-mail me at jordanrego@gmail.com I wanted to chat more about IATSE.
Thanks Very Much
Jordan
I hate the word cookie. Mainly when it's used to replace vagina.
