Telus sufficiently suffonsifies its stock of Storms
This one is somewhat dedicated to all of the Canadian men out there. Know how your wife/girlfriend/mother/daughter/sister is always giving you hard time because you shop at the last minute when stores are packed and everything worthwhile is sold out? Don’t worry, because your friends at Telus have got you covered. Apparently the carrier has received a rather large shipment of Storms from RIM which which are filling store shelves across Canada just in time for you to buy one, activate it, send a quick little “and you doubt me?” email to the lovely ladies in your life and then wrap it up and put it under the tree. Just make sure you get that $249.99 purchase pre-authorized by the ole’ ball and chain or else…
wow… now this really makes my poop stink!
You forgot the last step, which is to return the phone! ha.
wait, let me clarify my above comment,
“just in time for you to buy one, activate it, send a quick little “and you doubt me?” email to the lovely ladies in your life and then wrap it up and put it under the tree”
Then read my comment.
I looked really quick at the author’s name and thought it said Michael Bolton.
Why was this even posted?
what does suffonsifies mean?
Suffonsifies– one, or a group, who has/have the ability to “pull out of one’s ass at the last minute.”
I remember my mom using this word, it might be a Brit thing.
Yet more hate from iphone fans or people who short the RIMM stock. Get over it guys, people actually buy it, and return it at a lower rate than you think.
The fact that you’ve heard so many people returning it is becasue a million of these have been sold.
Better job then Verizon…
huh, not at rhe PDL store I was at today…
chacha defines suffonsifies as: used in phrases to politely refuse more food at a meal.
doesn’t really seem to make sense
@ChaCha,
There is no formal definition of “suffonsified” as it is not an accredited word. It is a “word” in the sense that it was/is common with those of the upper-middle class who emigrated to Canada from Great Britain in the early- to mid-20th Century.
One would typically hear an elderly person say “I am sufficiently suffonsified” instead of saying “I’ve eaten like a pig and can take on no more food” for obvious reasons.
Suffonsified is still in use today — albeit rather foreign to those who are not of British heritage — but it is now used for much more than food. (I do believe both MacLean’s and The Globe and Mail have written about it in the past year.)
That doesn’t explain the usage in the title of your posting. It’s just baffling.
In the vein of using a word associated with food, I would suggest cornucopeia as a more suitable word for Telus having an overstock of devices which they are looking to share with the public.
Versus your usage of the word suffonsified, which makes me feel as if Telus has had more than it’s fill of the Storm and doesn’t want it anymore.
That’s how I read it anywho…
Why does every post nowadays turn into high school english class? Yay for u you’re a walking dictionary and you can put your commas and colons in the right place. As long as the scoops keep coming who kares abuot spelin¿
I called stores that should have had them as soon as I received the email from Telus, they did not have them. Called Telus and they were out of stock and put me on a waiting list.
