[Lolly]

Hi @ll,

The stupid German´s got a short question...

Could someone explain to me what "Blackball" means?

[too_close_to_see]

I don't know why your asking this. Is it the 8 ball in pool?

[fairy call]

[Lolly]

u´re right fairycall, but HE is asking.........

[MirandaV]

So, what does it mean in the offspring song?

[samr]

Death.

Everyone is dieing. It's the new disease. the IN thing. I dunno...

[Gabriel]

I think it may be gun shot, or 'black planet'-earth

[Lithuanian Offspring]

It means a negitive vote against something. Don't kids use dictionaries anymore. Gunshots and Death, Yeah sure! How long did it take for you to think that up?

[samr]

I thought it up on the spot.

I actually don't really care, though.
