That seems odd how we can manipulate language around like such. You basically tried to justify how you say something by making a definition in some internet source. However you originally claimed that the source was discreditable (Remeber: "Fuck urbandictionary"). So if I made a definition of "checkmate" and it is confirmed then your definition is just as valid as my definition. In other words you didn't really have to justify how you used the phrase, you should of just used it and not care what people think.

So you basically made up the phrase "checkmate" and are using it as how you see fit. I just don't get why we can't talk normally. I don't try to use phrases I wouldn't use in real life. Then again this is the internet and we don't really exist in a physical sense. Anyway I try to keep this personality close to my real self as possible. No weird phrases from me, lest I start "talking" in Klingon or something.

So what's with the ketchup then?

My horse finally managed to kick me. I guess that was inevitable as he's been trying really hard for the last year and a half to do so, but I wasn't paying enough attention today and he finally nailed me. Jerk.

Pam & Paras - do you want to do hostel stuff sometime? I'm busy this weekend, but mostly free next week and weekend.

Cows have a tendency to eat things that do not belong in their systems. IE. nails, part of barb wire fences, cans- anything that may be found in a feild- and they have a particular liking for metal. If a cow has eaten a nail or piece of fence or something - it goes through their system, cutting up the numerous stomachs. So if you feed a cow a magnet- it will attract the metal - and sit in one of their four stomachs so it does not continue through the body- damaging the rest of it.
However- there is a slight problem- if the cow eats a lot of metal and there is a magnet holding it all - you will eventually have to do surgery to remove the collection.
I hope that answers your question.

I'm confused as to why you feed cows magnets?
That question mark doesn't really belong there does it.

why aren't YOU mowing the lawn????

hmmm...it appears that since getting home from work the weather has gone from sweet to craptaculor...thunder just shook my building. but lightning is cool...

on another note, jerkfaces who beat up on each other should not live next to me. or at least keep it down.

Eric, consider your message to Miss Mercer passed on.

The dude next door is mowing his lawn... in the rain... with an electric lawn mower...

fuck that, it's checkmate.

I'd suggest checking out urbandictionary's soon-to-be-revised definition by clicking here.

I went to urban dictionary and I don't think you are using the term "checkmate" correctly. You are in no way limiting someones choice in a situation. Such as cornering someone and you have a gun and they do not. You can then say checkmate, which makes sense. If you are making a portfolio it can't be checkmate, unless you destory everyone elses and limit their choice to your portfolio. Not trying to rain on your parade or anything but it just seems weird throwing slang around like such.
