I was shocked to learn in another thread that I was a poser because I actually use the knife clip on my knife! What say ye, arfcom? |
| I would be a poser as well. I don't think that you are a poser if you use a knife clip. The clip helps to keep the knife in the same position so if you actually have to use it, you don't have to go digging about in your pocket for it. It probably also makes it easier to use because there is less of a chance of it getting tangled in the pocket since it is right near the pocket opening. |

I think StudentofLiberty is a highschool kid. |
To whom this may or may not apply

I'm guessing 'may', judging by the tongue prints on the window. |
Hi, I'm a poser as well 
I lost almost every knife I've ever owned, the last one being a Buck knife that my cousin gave me for being in his wedding.  It fell out of my front pocket in a rental car. None of them had a clip.Since then I bought a Buck Rush 290 with the clip. I carry it everywhere, clipped to the inside of my front pocket. I have NEVER had it come loose. The most 'poser' of those out there are those who call those who use items as they're intended to be used 'posers' because they're trying to make themselves out to be the high-speed, low drag real things that see past all the "marketing hype." The only downside is that I am torn over whether I should call the part that attaches it to my pocket a 'magazine.'

| I guess I must be a poser too. I've been carrying clipped inside my right side pocket for years. It's never fallen out and always been right where I reach for it, even after hitting the water at pretty high speed. If it didn't work, I wouldn't carry that way. Sometimes being able to cut a line "right now" can be a matter of life and death. I need my knife to be there, and always in the same place. |

Is it possible that it's a typo? I mean the "l" and "p" are pretty close on a keyboard. Maybe he meant to say "losers" in a more friendly, joking way - like "People who put beans in chili are losers" While still idiotic  - it would maybe make a little more sense, insofar as he's just slamming people who cannot keep track of their knife wihtout having it attached to them (like a little kid having his mittens sown to his coat, so he doesn't lose them).Eiether way, it's a stupid comment - but "loser" is slightly less stupid than "poser", because "poser" make no sense at all. (Btw - I don't know how old StudentofLiberty is, but his posts in another recent thread sure DID make him sound like some know-it-all high school kid). |
Apparently all he needs to know.

Nonsense. Chili with beans is "poser" chili  - because the beans are a cheap substitute for meat. More accurately, chili with beans might be called "ersatz" chili. If you are poor, cannot afford meat, or simply don't have enough meat avilable, then there's nothing WRONG with putting some beans in your chili to fill it out, but it's no longer REAL chili. I've come to this conclusion precisely because I am an objective "outsider" and don't have a horse in this race. Proper chili should not have beans in it. It's okay to put some in, if you don't have enough meat - or if that's just your preference or taste - but it's incorrect that claim that's the right way to make chili. 
|
Solid hijack. I'll give you a 9/10 Also, that's the first time that "ersatz" has ever been used on Arfcom. |
The threadjack will be complete when I point out that chili with meat is AMERICAN CHILI and chili with beans is MEXCIAN CHILI  It's sad to see how many people have already been "assimilated" by the subtle Mexican invasion, isn't it?

| Thanks the knife clip, I actually carry my knife every day and havent lost it. Before it would fall out of my pocket in the car, or get lost in my pocket with keys, change,etc. The pocket clip is awesome- why wouldnt you use it? I like to tuck it inthe little pocket on jeans. |
