  • I took care of him, the right way. :P

  • @monkeysbananna

    oh boy...what did you do? :P

  • Efflux is a... its hard to describe. its an english word with a german meaning. Like the word german word handy for mobile.

    here is the link for the german wiki-page:

    de . wikipedia . org / wiki / Efflux

    My english isnt good enough to translate it ^^"

  • @Regen1985

    thanks for the link. luckily for ye, I already speak some German, so I can manage-no worries. and from what I understand in the wiki, it has little to do with the opposite of "influx"; one term relates to physiology, the other, economy.

    by the way, you have any idea why Handy is pronounced "Hendi"? I figured that even as a loan word, it should at least sound German (I got it off my teacher, a Bavarian)

  • @Albukhshi

    Its an Anglizism. Some People think its cool to say some words in english :P

    I dont know why, maybe because english is the language of science (your lucky because of that^^ reading scientific papers in english HARD!!! XD)

    oh, maybe that can help you^^

  • @Regen1985

    oh, ok. that makes more sense. reminds me of Swenglish.

    but don't feel bad about not knowing English: If you need help, just ask a friend who knows English; when I was in Kuwait, I had to help Arabs understand english journals, since many have almost no English in them beyond the basics.

    besides, your English ain't that bad. you should see some of my friends from there XD

  • @Albukhshi

    Thats good to know, thank you^^

    you were in Kuwait? Now im curious :P

    Why were you in kuwait?

  • @Regen1985

    I was born and raised there; only been in the US 4 years; My dad is an Arab, who in turn was born and raised there (though he is not a Kuwaiti-citizenship there is based on lineage), since Grandad left Hebron to find work as an Imam and businessman. I'm in theory supposed to stay only for uni, but I decided to stay in the US: more use for geologists/paleontologists here than in Kuwait.

  • @Albukhshi Interesting^^

    thanks for the info and good luck as geologist/paleontologist

  • @Regen1985 mehh, I haven't trolled in a while.

  • @monkeysbananna whoops. I meant to reply to Albukshi
