I used to be a bit of a lastworder, but participating in discussions on this forum has run rings around me. There are more adamant forces out there that keep coming back like rubber bras bouncing on big mamas stuck in full swing on trampolines. _________________ Test of English as a Foreign Language TOEFL Preparation & TOEFL Vocabulary Learn more: How to Become an English Teacher |

| Are you a lastworder (a new creation of mine freshly minted this morning at 7.30 GMT)? By that I ask whether you always have to have the last word in every discussion/argument/debate or whether you say your piece, make a point and then let it lie there. |
Are there only two options? |

You still try to have the last word, and it's almost always nothing to do with the topic. |

You're right, Alan.
There are people I like, there are people I respect, and then there are people who are like those nerdy spooks you always found annoying at school.

If the shoe fits, you should wear it, Molly.
Go on then, have your last words, I'm sure you can do worse than this:

I am fully recognized as the lastworder in very broad meaning of the word.

You seem a bit obsessed with that person, Walf. Are you?
Hey, could 592 posts, over (roughly) 2 years mean that person doesn't have much to offer? |

Hi Alan
I have been known to be "a lastworder" and dig my heels in.
Sometimes I walk away from an argument if I see it is becoming ridiculous or if I blow my fuse (the latter usually being with my girlfriend it seems).
But does the one who has the last word have the last laugh, or does it just mean they havenīt run out of gas yet?
