Hi Art,

You could use a blunt.

Richard, I'm guessing that you have no idea what you said in
semi-current slang.

Hi Tom,

Guessing and supposing seem to be de Rigueur. Let's look at it
through deconstruction (the convolutions of language used here are to
thin out the shallow end of the grammatical pool) and let me ask:
"Considering your reaction, Art's stimulus by which I made my
suggestion, and the comment itself: does all this maintain a
consistent, internal logic?"

If I were to deconstruct further, I would offer the query:
"How current is semi?"

If we reach back beyond the currency of semi (say 3 or more decades);
then I would have offered Art:
"Keep a tight ass hole."
and it would have still come from the same culture.

Now, at the risk of having to "explain" to a generation that demands
facts and references, and then shows so little inclination to actually
apply them (this does not mean you by the way as you have been
adventurous enough to probably have made connections anyway); then my
short answer would be:
"You've guessed wrong." (which is a far more commonplace outcome
by virtue of this preponderance of guessing, presuming, and supposing
instead of testing, analyzing, and examining).

5 points to the one who can name the source to the ancient (nearly 40
year old) quote offered. 5 extra points if you can provide the
context (fictional character) who employs it. And 10 points bonus if
you can name (fictional character) who it is applied to.
