You ended your sentence with a preposition. 

 

Granted, my wife may have flipped the bean right there in the street if she met Kuechly in person but, the preposition.

This is the most arbitrary and pretentious grammar rule ever. English is a Germanic language, and in German ending a sentence with a preposition is not only acceptable, it's often required. The preposition is attached to the verb.

The only reason we have the preposition rule is because in Latin ending sentences with a preposition really fugs poo up. See what I did there? Up is a part of the verb fug. By German rules we would even know it as upfug, and we would separate it out as needed.

Some stuck up assholes who had trouble teaching Latin to their students came up with the preposition rule to make learning Latin grammar rules easier, but in English it makes no damn sense.

There you go. And btw. 'Kuechly' is Swiss German slang and means little cake. So much for the houshold part.

Didn't even click on the link if there was one. Your a fact and I would love to meet you in person and see how tough you are.

 

Lol, really?  The tough guy thing?

 

Besides the fact it was painfully obvious and common sense that Burfict was the LBer from Cincinnati, it was a joke.  Don't get your panties in a wad man.

Wow.  Thanks for the grammar lesson regarding humorous jabs on a message board  I hope you don't get a traffic ticket for something you don't feel was warranted.

 

You may or may not have anger issues...was your Latin proctor an asshole?
