ur dear a queer

The end of all arguments and insults. This insult will completely destroy the whole universe and there is no escaping from it. Please, for the love of God and everything on Earth and all we have, DON'T SAY THIS.

Faggot: ur mom gay lol
Me: ur chromosomes homozones
Faggot: ur generation cause frustration. i win hahaha
Me: *snickers* no u
Faggot: NO U
Me: Well, sorry, God, but I have to say this...
Faggot: *smiles but anxious with worry* You wouldn't dare.
Me: UR DEAR A QUEER
The world starts to collapse. The space-time continuum immediately stops and destroys itself and all of humanity dies. The faggot gets thrown into hell but even hell considered him unworthy and made him suffer a horrible - nothing - there is no afterlife anymore. There is no more life.

boys a dear

An exclamation!
Kind of like "oh my goodness" in norn-iron (northern ireland) speak.
It's a great phrase because it can be used in so many different situations!

Boys a dear, it's warm today isn't it?
Boys a dear, there are loads of people here.
*lifting a heavy box* Boys a dear!

Dearest

The MOST of it all. Most wonderful, amazing, freakin fantastic, precious being imaginable. Dearest is all that's needed to bring a sMile. Dearest would do nothing less than get you lifted. Simply fresh. Straight sick. Dope, even pimpin. Dearest remains your #1.

Dearest as a "label" cannot be followed by a noun. ie. Dearest friend. Dearest IS the noun. You (the person), quite simply, ARE Dearest.

Sunshine will always follow where Dearest is.
