It means make love away....no that's daft. Just the same as Derogatory and disrespectful live in the same bowl.

Anyone can dissect and cogitate over everything we say and come up with a technically logical reason why it makes no sense but as Churchill one said, if it sounds right in English, it is right.

The statement Jason made to Ryan made no sense to ryan because he is thick, but when we apply a bit of common sense to what he said, nearly everyone there understood what he meant. Trying to prove it is grammatically wrong is an exercise in futility and fails badly. You are now being derogatory and disrespectful to everyone that thought the statement was right, work that one out.

If you think that derogatory means disrespectful and disrespectful means derogatory then i honestly feel a bit sorry for you.

Yes Ryan was disrespectful. If Jason used this as his reason, The house wouldnt care. But Jason used the word derogatory and this did not make sense in the context that he used.
