Am I the only one here who thinks the term "boxen" is completely retarded?

English already has enough bugs (I speak two language fluently, can do a few German words and working on Japanese), why add more?

Jesus. I've been saying boxen since around 2000, which is when I begin to hear it regularly. You can blame us for being dorks, but I refuse to be lumped in with web 2.0.Wally Balljacker wrote:Am I the only one here who thinks the term "boxen" is completely retarded?

I remember hearing comedian Brian Regan using "boxen" as part of his routine back in the early 1990's. It's mildly amusing, I guess, but it has certainly been overused lately.

Yeah, leave it to you Americans to make a joke out of the smaller countries of the world!Snarkout wrote:In English, Danish means "Delicious Pastry."
Oh well, at least you didn't refer to Denmark as the capital of Sweden, that really is not taken too kindly. Not because Danes don't like the Swedish people, but it's just seen as a little bit degrading, I guess would be the term.
