Zero Serenity, perused the listing on the link... Yeah some good ones documented there. That doesn't make actual discourse here obsolete. A few of those were a bit esoteric.

Oh, BTW, the enthusiastic responses are great, but try to be conservative in the quantity of quotes per post. That was the portion my memory skipped over on the topic conditions.

I never meant it to null the thread. I just wanted to share with you my favorites without a rediculusly long post. If you'd like to help me or contribute to it, post here and I'll get to it.

I think this is one of the words I would never forget after seeing the series, along with ¨BAKA¨ they just keep saying it every time they can. I laught everytime I hear it.

Um... they're <i>not</i> saying "bonkers". They're saying "bonkuraazu", which actually has nothing to do with the English word "bonkers"; it was rendered by the Triad (NLA (New Life Anime), Ishin Digital, and Anime-Fansubs) as "bonklers", and translated by A.D. Vision as "knuckleheads", which I believe carries a similar connotation.

I didn't want to say that was your intent. Sorry [whinces apologetically].
I guess it came across that way.

Love the Hellsing lines...
