uber and touche..

This is where you can discuss your homework, family, just about anything, make strange sounds and otherwise discuss things which are really not related to the Lancer-series. Yes that means you can discuss other games.

uber and touche..

whats uber and touche?

pls excuse my idiocy..

Science is knowledge.
Knowledge is power.
Time is money.
power = work/time
therefore, knowledge= work/money
therefore, money = work/knowledge
therefore, money is inversely proportional to knowledge.

therefore,

The more knowledge you have, the less money you have.

Uber=super?
Touche=French fencing term. Used to compliment a well-executed strike.
deja vu=French again, meaning having a feeling that you have experienced an occasion or a location, while in fact you have not.

deja vu literally means "already seen"

I don't have a drinking problem. I drink. I get drunk. I fall down. No problem.

Touche (with the accent mark on the e) is literally translated I think as Touch.

It is a fencing term, referring to good hit.

Also slang for "You got me."

Deja Vu is litereally seen before or already seen, depending on the translation tool. Usually referring to a feeling of already experienced something.

Uber is german, and I believe there are 2 dots over the U. I am not sure of the exact translation, but it refers to super or great....I think...

I think touche without the accent is a noun meaning "a touch", whereas the one with the accent is a passive verb meaning "touched". And, yes, uber is actually ueber (i.e. U with "umlaut" and means "superior". 9Gosh, I sound like some teacher. Time to stop)

I don't have a drinking problem. I drink. I get drunk. I fall down. No problem.
