Topic: Mick's/Taz's Curry Base Gravy

[George]

Can I ask if it's possible to use ground Cumin & Coriander instead of the seeds?  If so, what quantity would I use?

Many thanks

Yup I've made the base with the reduced quantities as Axe mentions and it works fine.

Naith - welcome to the forum. You asked a good question and it's a shame that one of our members used the slightly arrogant and dismissive prefix "yup" when making his response, like it was a bit of a dumb question.

George, George.... Maybe it's me but I fail to understand how anybody other than yourself can take offence to Stephen's answer to Naith's question.
What difference would it have made if he had started his response with.. Yup,Yep, Yeah, Yes or Aye...? He answered the question resonably as far as I am concerned.

I have to ask what you get out of your high and mighty, holier than thou and at times superior attitude?

Yes Naith, welcome to the forum.

I'm sorry if I'm the only one who finds the use of that term somewhat arrogant, dismissive, high and mighty. I just looked up definitions and can't find anything beyond confirmation that yup = yes. I still reckon it's used mainly by people with the above traits

Just found this

Yup is a generic term of agreement issued often by a non-listening party, typically used while performing an additional important task, such as watching tv.

If you are the yupper, by yupping someone, you are not bound in any sense by your agreement, since you didn't hear what it was you were agreeing to. If you are later asked to perform the task, you then have the option to admit that you had yupped the person and ignore the task, or pretend that you had really listened & just go along with the yuppee.

If you are the yuppee, and you recognize that you are being yupped, you can call the yupper's actions & state "you're yupping me" or "I'm being yupped", whereupon the yupper may admit the yupping action and feel mild embarrassment, but there will be no permanent damage.

yupping, being yupped, yupper, yuppee are all derived from the root 'yup'

Woman: Oh I got some great shoes at the mall, do you like them dear?
Man (watching tv): yup
Woman: so we're going to go back later, are you coming with us?
Man (watching tv): : yup
*2 hours later*
Woman: ok, let's go
Man: where?
Woman: to the mall? you said you'd come with me later?
Man - option 1: oh, I was just yupping you, I'm staying here
Man - option 2: yea that's right, let me grab my coat


WHAT A LOAD OF OLD TWODDLE!

Yup, yeah, aye, all fine by me.  All those in agreement, say YUP

Rayup ;D

I think the statistics are against you, George.  I can think of only one person on this forum who could reasonably be described as being arrogant, dismissive, high and mighty, and as far as I can tell, that person has never once used the word "yup" other than when citing the words of others.

I know in my heart of hearts I should just leave this alone now and virtually walk away shaking my head in disbelief but...
even though you can't find anything to support your point you still attack another member as arrogant, dismissive, high and mighty.  or is there another agenda?

Yes, that fits with my take. But, having made the point, I'll be happy to delete all the 'yup' related posts if all the contributors indicate their agreement.

I don't think the word 'yes' features in wedding vows but if it did, I'm sure the congregation would feel anyone using slang like 'yup' and 'yep' wasn't being sufficiently serious, with a touch of contempt. Maybe a jury would look down on, say, a police officer or anyone who used those words as a witness in court. Or perhaps I'd be eliminated from a Jury if lawyers realised the type of person I am.

Thanks
