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!!

Juulie - you know all you had to do was ask. In fact, I would gladly have done a clinic for you this spring on this topic.
 Here's a few from the "Classic Collection": Coach: (as Dave was about to report a foul) Call it both ways Dave: OK, coach, I will. Blue, 42, a hold. (he pauses) 42, blue, a hold. Is that what you meant coach, because thats all the ways I know. Dave: (to table) We have a technical foul on the green coach. Asst. coach: Are you nuts? Dave: (to table) Now we have T for two. (he breaks into a soft shoe and sings Tea For Two) Coach: How come they get the ball on that jump call? They got the last one. Dave: (knowing the AP arrow is correct) Ill tell you what, coach. Well give them this one but then well give you the next 2 out of 3, OK? Coach: Oh, OK .huh? A coach continues to complain. Dave responds, Listen coach. Lets trade places. You come out here and call the game, and Ill sit on the bench and act like a jackass. Fan: Hey ref. Want to borrow my glasses? Dave: Why? Theyre not doing you any good. Coach: Thats 3 seconds. Dave: Coach, that wasnt 3 seconds even in dog years. However, he saved his best for me, personally. A few years ago, I was in the last quarter of a game and Dave was watching, waiting for the next game, which he was going to officiate. At a timeout he yelled at me. Dave: Hey ref, are you pregnant? I ignored him. He repeated, Hey ref, are you pregnant? I replied, OK, Dave. Ill bite. No, Im not pregnant. Why do you ask? Dave: Because you missed three periods.

I submitted something to the "In Reply" section of this site. You can go there and rate my submission. It is:
When you order at the counter in a fast food restaurant and they ask you if your order is "to go" or "for here", tell them it's "to go here".

I think the least they could do is give Padgett a separate page for his referee "Davisms".

You're right about the Google search -- however, you can restrict the search to a certain website.
For example, click here to search Google for 'davism' only on the officialforum.com website - Brad

Also, even your way only got about five or six, when Tony came up with about 12, and there must be a lot more than that. Third question, why am I having trouble with the Official Forum search function? It just freezes up, and I get nothing, and have to close my browser and start over. Every time.
