I couldn't find it in any dictionary, so that's why I asked. Do you know the correct spelling of the word?

I have a sneaky feeling its a slang term, though commonly used in the Uk. Could it have derived from Bolshevic? In which case Ive spelt it wrong havent I.




EDIT: just looked it up. It is from Bolshevic and I did spell it wrong. They gave 'stroppy' as the definition, which is about right for how its used.

Montoya is gutsy. Would love to see him back in F1 with slicks.
However, his problem was he was gutsy - borderline reckless, and ussually got overcarried. Alonso is gutsy as well, but rarely to the point of senselessly throwing a race away, and has shown much better damage limitation and risk assesment than Montoya ever did.

Gutsy and gorgeous v boring and balshy.
Dont want to watch damage limitation.

How incredibly deep

No. Succinct and to he point-why write an essay when a few words suffice.

And yet it took you like 5 posts and almost a full page to explain your post...

EDIT: Oh and I forgot...
2 time World champion vs 0.
Don't wanna watch my driver hitting the wall.

Typo, I spelt bolshy wrong, the explanation was one post for DD cos I know he's interested in languages.
You're wrong about Juan Pablo, not 0 -Youngest ever Cart Champion

If you dont like your driver hitting the wall, dont watch this

That Brazil accident still makes me cringe. Ouch.

such a cheap shot!
Anyway, there's not that much wall hitting in that video at all. A bunch of semi-spins, recovers and some rear tyre puncture spins.... sure the Brazil crash was something else, but it was far from being his fault. Also the crash in Canada where he was chasing closely on the race winning BMW and spun slightly, and yet no one drools over it for justification of his greatness... unlike Lewis' Monza move where he messed up a podium chasing rainbows.

I bet if anyone made a compilation like this about either Juan Pablo or Lewis it would be much more convincing.

not interested... OBSESSED

And Waaaaaaaaaaaaaay more exciting
Oh yeah non of those spins and crashes were anything to do with Alonso, of course.

1. Schumacher
2. Alonso
3. Hakkinen
4. Hamilton (not that he's necessarily 'better' than the guys below, but more important yes)
5. Kimi
6. Montoya
7. Button
8. Barrichello
9. Vettel
10. Massa

Why did you feel the need to explain why you placed Lewis where you did, it's almost like you are saying sorry?
It's obvious you do think he is better than the drivers below him or else you would of placed him below the others, right?
If you think he is better then that's fine,that's what you think.
