"A Scarborough Warning is to let something go by the run and without seeing that everyone was clear, i.e., with no warning at all. The expression is of very ancient origin, as is also Jedburgh Justice , which in the old moss trooping days meant to hang first and try the case afterwards."\n\n"The expression "Jeddart justice" or "Jethart Justice", where a man was hanged first, and tried afterward (compare Lynch law), seems to have arisen from one case of summary execution of a gang of villains."\n\n"give her what we call in uk the scarbrough warning!tell her how youfeel,how shes treating you..are a human or a door mat,because shes wiping her feet all over you...just imagine the conversation shes having when she talks to her female mates...all about you..yor a wimp..soft touch... \nweak as p*ss...and so on...so tell her thats it enoughs enough!!if she doesnt stop shes out of your life forgood..let her go she deserves a bloke who can fight back...(not into female violance)but a good crack wouldnt go a miss...best wishes"

That is relative, I've done more things in my life than most people are willing to believe. By my standards, were I to tell someone to get a life, it would involve lofty goals. In my opinion, because of my background, I think that it is a phrase meant to offend rather than to be taken literally, in that case whoever told you that, you tell them I am telling them to get a life.

That phrase is for the post office.  That means, if you don't live there anymore, they want it returned so they can take you off the list.

It means the company is being asked by the State to explain their actions in this matter.  Unless you haven't told us the whole story (like maybe you co-signed for the loan) they should stop harassing you.\n\nYour deadbeat boyfriend is another matter entirely.  Why don't you tell him to pay his debts so you don't have to keep answering phone calls from his creditors?

It's a black on black insult used to accuse a black person of selling out or otherwise betray his race. It's a reference to Uncle Tom's Cabin by Hariet Beecher Stowe. \n\nIn recent times, it has been used by blacks or whites to refer to those blacks who might be conservative or Republican.

It basically is saying that someone has no common sense as it is telling the person to go "pound sand... down gopher/ratholes" (trying to block them in) - kind of a stupid make-work project for someone not bright enough to be placed on any important task

dont talk to me as if i know nothing or do not know what you are talking about.\n\nBasically its talking to someone as though they were not capable of comprehending what you are saying.

I think there must have been an error there.\nI read somewhere in Yahoo! Answers homepage, that they are experiencing some fault and some people are been sent warnings incorrectly. And they apologise if anyone has received this.

It could mean your corny like a corn dog. OR. It could mean he wants to stick his weiner in right into your buns??? If it felt like a sexual thing, that might have been what it meant... But, I am not sure, just ask them if you still speak with them.

you talk to the person you want to warn. at the bottom of the IM screen ther eis a button that says WARN. you click that and a window pops up that says warn annonymously? pick yes or no and then it works.\n\na reason its nto working may be that the computer didnt find anyhting wrong that the other person said. you cant warn the other person for no reason at all

It could mean that you are wanting to get away or travel (the flying away) or as pigioens are often used as messenger birds you could be wanting to let the world know something, some important message, or as they are also known for their pigieon droppings it could mean you are awaiting bad news?? Who knows just my 2 pennies.
