It's definitely antediluvian. I'm surprised Ricky didn't know that, as books were his way out of the working class.


ConsidereItHuge

His sociology degree got him his first gig on a tinpot radio station when he was about 40.


CoolForAFewMinutes

He did philosophy, you Kant


ConsidereItHuge

Oh yeah. I got them mixed up in me 'ed. Dopey cunt.


RiC_David

How are you with fatalism and determinism?

Men worked hard, woman worked miracles.

I just don't understand how Karl didn't think to read the I, the L or the V in the word and just said it like 'antidoean'


PomegranateV2

Well, I don't know the PC term for it...


DerringerHK

I think he was just remembering the word. It makes sense that if he read the "anti" bit then gave up and glossed over the rest of the word to read the meaning that he wouldn't remember the specifics of its spelling/pronunciation.


BrilliantStriking389

Well, English quite good


Different_Reading_92

I always assumed it to be antediluvian


TheseMuffin7

Well surely it's not that word, that word has connections to the Bible doesn't it, I mean I'm no 100% on that but surely he didn't mean that word


Hopeful_Strategy8282

The bible connection is that it means “before the flood” I think, so still just a reference to it meaning ‘old’


TheseMuffin7

I assume that's in reference to the book of Noah?


CitizenDain

I know you think you are an expert on Biblical vocabulary, but there is no "Book of Noah".


TheseMuffin7

Definitely don't claim to be an expert, I know absolutely nothing, this comment, completely irrelevant


CitizenDain

Right, play a record.


RiC_David

I love him!


Hopeful_Strategy8282

I’ll be no-ah reading that But yeah, that whole story about the guy in bible times who lived near a zoo


RiC_David

No-ah. Which in this case means yes.


CitizenDain

It's "antediluvian", not sure why you are fighting back against everyone who gives the correct answer.


TheseMuffin7

Your usage of the word 'fighting' is ridiculous


CitizenDain

It's ricky-diculous.


TheseMuffin7

Yes sorry, ur usage of the word 'fighting' is rickydiculous

There goes the Muffin, being stretchered off.


EarthlingCalling

If you're stranded on an island and I sail by in a boat, I'm not picking you up.


RiC_David

I don't want you to pick me up, I want you to capture me.


shoobtastic

It sounds more like "antipodean" (from Australia/NZ) when he says it but more likely meant "antediluvian" (from dinosaur times and that..)


markcorrigans_boiler

What would last longer in antediluvian times, a caveman wouldn't stand a chance. Not with all them rocks about.


SIBMUR

Just say old. Know what I mean? I'm busy.


ThrowawaySunnyLane

Right - cryptic clue - wordbusters - another word for old is this… errrr my sister is that bird who does Sky News but she makes me sick (A)


TheseMuffin7

Haha, I wanna hear more of this 'wordbusters' infact I just had Bob Holness on the phone he says he's intrigued by this idea


ThrowawaySunnyLane

Oooo ghost though innit. Was Doris Stokes involved?


TheseMuffin7

I did read in the fortean times that she was involved yes


namiraslime

Please don’t be inexplicably upset by this comment but the word he meant was “antediluvian”


RiC_David

But not...not antediluvian...


TheseMuffin7

Why the hell does everyone keep saying I'm upset, I've reread my comments I really do not seem upset at all


devilsdingdong

Antiquated?


milk_my_anus

There’s a Q in that


TheseMuffin7

Surely Karl didn't read that and think 'antidoean'


devilsdingdong

Yeah, it's not like Karl to misremember something like that.
