I wanted to print out some of the Davisms that have been posted on this board. I had no luck at all with the search function at the top of the forum page, and I thought a Google Search would be faster than browsing back through page after page of thread titles. WRONG!!! I put "Davism" into Google, and didn't get a single reference to this forum. But...
But I did find this: an entry in a slang dictionary for "davism" and look at this definition!!
"An action intended to confuse someone so as to derive amusement at their confusion. ... Called a davism after the Dave Project that searched out and listed these confusionisms."
The web address for this slang dictionary is slangsite.com.
The web address for the Dave Project is
http://www.obscurity.org.uk then click on the DaveBase button. There is a place on here to enter more "Davisms", but I will leave that honor to Padgett, since he is the reigning monarch of the Davism, at least on our forum!
Long live the Internet!!
