Dru Posted May 12, 2001 Posted May 12, 2001 Dang, I'm not even on the expedition, but I'm piste too! It's Friday night!!!! Let's all get piste! Quote
Backcountry Posted May 13, 2001 Author Posted May 13, 2001 Sorry Dru, it's not the Canuck version... piste (pst) n. Sports A ski trail densely packed with snow. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [French from Italian pista, from obsolete pistare, to trample down, variant of pestare; see piston.] Quote
Dru Posted May 15, 2001 Posted May 15, 2001 Oh dear, backcountry, your knowledge of Canuck slang is lacking. Saying one is Pissed is actually the type of genteel expression that old ladies mumble over their gin & tonics. The more manly expression is "Fucking Hammered!" Oh - maybe you didn't understand that I was making a pun or you though that it would be funny to imply you didn't But thanks for the derivation of the term! I will right a letter to the Editors of "Off Piste" magazine informing them of your discovery and telling them I must have been off-piste when I ordered a subscription Quote
Backcountry Posted May 15, 2001 Author Posted May 15, 2001 Or is it Piste-Off magazine...yep I gnu what pissed meant... However, as the Team Gander Mountain R&D Director, I must have accountability and responsibility to hold myself in higher regards and not allow myself to stoop to the level of slang vernacular. We expect to have a report from our expedition by 4:00 PM tommorrow, stay tuned. Quote
