Will you two knock it off and at least try to be serious?

"Yes, throwing cereal in someone's face who didn't know it was cereal would be considered a U.F.O. "

NO! Go up and read what I wrote about the real definition of a UFO.

---

A U.F.O. stands for Unidentifyied Flying Objecy, therefore if someone couldn't identify the cereal and since it is flying (have being thrown) and since it is an object. It would be a U.F.O. a freakin baseball could a UFO if you can't tell its a baseball. A plane that hasn't called into flight control is a UFO until flight control contacts and identifyies the plane.

BUT WHOEVER THREW THE DAMN BASEBALL KNOWS WHAT THE FUCK IT IS! THUS, IT'S FUCKING IDENTIFIED GOD DAMN IT!

Jesus fucking christ, again, go read my definition. READ it. Don't just stare at it.

Don't be dumb. No you're just looking for ANY excuse to craft the definition of a UFO into your own personal one.

Besides, the "Flying" in UFO doesn't refer to what the pie or baseball did in the first place. It wasn't flying per se, it was just a projectile.

to operate or travel in an airplane or spacecraft <--- That's what the "Flying" in Unidentified Flying Object means. Thus, you're wrong.

I get what you're saying. However, you didn't say "official ufo" to begin with. Therefore, you failed to specify your argument, thus causing the confusion that you now see. A baseball can be a ufo, and so can cereal. An "official ufo", however, must be self-propelled and show up on radar to be officially classified.

No. You used the abbreviation UFO. That's the military term.

If someone threw someone at you, say a baseball, here's what you would say:

Right: Hey, I was just hit with an unidentified flying object!
Wrong: Hey, I was just hit by a UFO!


And it's not just limited to a radar screen necessarily. And I believe airports use the term as well but they usually will call up local military bases and check to see if the base has any aircraft flying near them.

EDIT: IDIOT!

"A UFO is a Unidentifyied Flying OBJECT it doesn't have to be a fucking military based thing. "

YES IT DOES SINCE THEY COINED THE FUCKING TERM IN THE FIRST PLACE! God fucking damn!

Wrong. For it to be official, it must be proclaimed as a UFO by the military.

"It isn't a military term offically, it may be used by them, but they didn't claim it now did they?"

Yes. And the whole dictionary arguement is stupid. The term "bogey" is a military term. But does it say "OMG THIS IS A MILITARY TERM ONLY!" in the dictionary? Heh.

EDIT: No, you really don't win.

Yes I do, because your entire argument is based on your faulty and inaccurate definition of what a ufo is. You can say it's a military term all you want, and I'm not going to argue with you. The fact of the matter is, however, that it's not an exclusive military term, and isn't defined as such.

YES IT FUCKING IS! How many times do I have to tell you that? Your ONLY source is dictionary.com

Dictionary.com! It's not an Encyclopedia Britannica we're talking about here.

Just face the facts, you're wrong. Is it going to hurt you that much to admit it?

And again, look up the term "bogey" which is an obvious term for an aircraft of unknown origin. But is it going to say "by the way, this is a military term"?

I highly doubt it. So that SIMPLY MUST mean it's not right?

No.
