It's not REALLY collocation. Did you even read the definition? You're using sentence fragments again.

I'm backing things up to Camera Obscura. Hellbringer's lead.

col·lo·ca·tion
ËŒkäləˈkÄ�SHÉ™n/

Noun

1. The habitual juxtaposition of a particular word with another word or words with a frequency greater than chance.
2. A pair or group of words that are juxtaposed in such a way.

Photo + Album? Yes.
Random Band Name + Album? No.

Hmm, I don't think camera obscura counts either. Camera obscura is in Latin 'a dark chamber', however, while English may have many loan words from Latin, this term 'camera obscura' has not been incorporated into the English vocabulary and is still purely Latin. I'm assuming that it was used because of the band Camera Obscura. So I'm objecting to this on the basis that 'camera obscura' is not in fact English and therefore cannot be a case of juxtaposition.

I'm going to allow it, based on two things:

The majority of the English language we use today is derived from Old Latin, and a fair amount of our day to day common phrases are "pure" latin.

Rigor Mortis
Placebo
Carpe Diem

University mottoes, medical terminology, etc. No, I'm going to overrule the challenge.

Well, it's actually 50/50 vocabulary wise. Half original Germanic words and half loan-words, but your overruling makes sense.

crap...

well, I'm not leading off with "Obscura photography" because, well... ok, I don't know.

soooo, I'll just bump to Wicked Sid's "wagon wheel".

Considering that over 60% of English words have their roots in Latin in everyday usage--over 90% in sciences--I would say it makes perfect sense. Let's not discount French either.

Chair caner

So I found two definitions of caner

1. a person who works with cane. http://www.thefreedictionary.com/caner

or (my favorite one)

2. drug user or (literally) one who canes http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/caner

I'm going with the first one and say caner maker

I'll wait to see what osiris has to say about this one

Why can't we discount French? Is this some sort of monopolistic thing, like Apple practices, where you can't discount French or you lose your right to carry it? Are you one of those Franco Phones or something? Is this whole forum just a cover for your efforts to support the independence of Quebec?

Wait...what was the context of your original comment? ... ... ... nevermind.

Holy shit I almost spit coffee.

As for chair caner, I'm only to find a vague reference one one website, and that's the name OF the website. It does not appear to be common enough to be a widely accepted collocation. Chair caner shall not pass.

That being said,
Chair legs

lega pulling

I ment legs pulling :-)

French being a Romance language, I just lump it in with Latin, the language from which it stems. And I suppose you're right. It's an unfortunate fact, and a reason why I come to dislike the English tongue more and more with time. The grammar is simplified to the most boring extent, and the words that have true beauty are disregarded.

Pulling broads.

I am sorry, it was a bad proposal, mainly caused by some sort of a nasty handover. Sorry @ all.

Uh, don't you mean, "pulling my leg"? But that's 3 words...

This is why I stopped playing
I know boo-hoo me

But I look at some of the nonsense put up and I'm like wtf....
Obviously taken from the google encyclopedia of desperately matched words in an attempt to 'outsmart' everyone else. If this can get back to somewhat normal speech I'm back in. And lets just give credit where credit is due man. If nothing comes to you in a minute and you gotta google shit just buck up and give a like and let that person restart the thread.

It's pretty easy to spot the googlers. Just because it appears in the search engine's list of matches before you hit enter does NOT make it viable.

Rob you need to come back . . . Canada Crew needs to represent up in this bitch.
