I tend to think of the gun people that always correct the clip/magazine usage the same as the nerdy sci/fi Cepheid Variable doofuses who will correct people about Stars Wars/Star Trek references.

Yeah, heaven forbid people actually use the correct terminology.

Nate Dogg called it a clip so it's ok to call it a clip

I literally did not know that the definition of "literally" was changed. ...or is that one of those "the definition of 'gullible' isn't in the dictionary" type of statements?

literally

1.in the literal or strict sense: What does the word mean literally?
2. in a literal manner; word for word: to translate literally.
3. actually; without exaggeration or inaccuracy: The city was literally destroyed.

No its zombies because we live in a world that has defined them unlike TWD where it hasn't.

Oh look... Merriam Webster has this official definition.

2clip noun
Definition of CLIP1
: any of various devices that grip, clasp, or hook
2
: a device to hold cartridges for charging the magazines of some rifles; also : a magazine from which ammunition is fed into the chamber of a firearm

so I guess you nerds need to start a petition against Merriam Webster to get that corrected.

Ummm...why?

I'm going to go ahead and keep calling them zombies if that is ok with you folks. Our best friends are the Walkers and it is super awkward when they overhear me talking about killing all the walkers.

Oh get over yourself. Clip is slang for magazine.

I tend to stay off the internets after a big episode of anything, really. A lot of people out there just cannot keep their mouths shut. There should be a name for them, like Internet Hens or something. I didn't get to watch the episode until 2 AM and avoided the shocking end by simply not getting online.

---

Bwahahahahahaa. Talk about get over yourself. "I have to stay off social media until I see the show because all you loosers out doing your social thing might ruin if or me."

Perhaps if you instituted the National "SPA TV Viewing Signal" those Internet Hens would know when they could commence talking about the show.

---

So who'd you ruin it for? A girlfriend, a relative, perhaps? I wasn't jumping down anyone's throat specifically but I seem to have struck a nerve in you. Are you arguing there aren't people who can't keep quite? There is a difference between saying that and going after a specific poster for their vocabulary

Also, many people know the technical difference between a clip and magazine, but most people also use clip to refer to a magazine. It is slang

It's like the types who like to get mad over Marines being called soldiers when they are LITERALLY soldiers

Watch this and picture him in his rage yelling "It's a Magazine... not a clip!" and that's exactly how I picture some posters on this thread.

NSFW for language.

That definition does not support your argument. There is literally a difference between a clip and a magazine.

If you are being attacked by walkers and run out of ammo, don't ask your buddy to throw you an extra clip when you needed a magazine...

That has to be staged, right?

Please don't shoot at the Walkers (with ammo out of a clip OR a magazine). They are very nice people.

tough to argue with someone that doesn't comprehend how to read a dictionary definition.

the dictionary says "Also, <a clip> is a magazine...."

It's not offering the definition of a magazine, else it would say something like "sometimes confused with magazine... see magazine for that definition"

I haven't ruined it for a soul, nor do I expect everyone on the internet to refrain from discussing something to fit my schedule. Nothing in your post 'struck a nerve' with me but did find it amusing that you called out 99 telling him to 'get over himself' before you launch into namecalling people who discuss the show on... DISCUSSION BOARDS; because it's inconvenient for YOU. By our own admission people on social media talk about this stuff, so when on a later schedule we (myself included) have to steer clear of it. Unlike you I don't think that means they "have big mouths", are "Internet Hens", or "can't keep quiet" - because they aren't OBLIGATED to.

No way man. The comic readers are civil and happy.

Funny related story. Our daughter (3) is in our room messing around. We hear "Mommy, I don't like this book. It's scary." Oops....volume 10 was there on my nightstand.

Wife wasn't pleased. Happily we haven't heard any more about the scary book.
