Unless some of you say 9 to 6 when telling time, which wouldn't surprise me.

I never say like 12 to 3 or anything. I'll say 2:48 or quarter to 3.

Christ. I guess I have to speak fricking ignorant coon-arse to get this. 9 'TIL 6 makes no fricking sense when comparing it to a score. Pretty dumb IMO. Unless some of you say 9 to 6 when telling time, which wouldn't surprise me.

Says the guy that made this dumbass thread. How ironic.

Actually, you are wrong about this...while saying "nine 'til 6" is a somewhat accepted way of saying it, "9 to 6" is actually what they teach in second grade. Here's a little assistance for you non-English speakers:
Basic English: How to tell time.

C'mon...it's one thing to call the joke dumb, but to insist that it is dumb because it's premiss is an incorrect pronunciation... ...Do your homework and make sure it's actually wrong. "9 'til 6" is the far more illiterate way of saying it. Scroll down a little on the link and you'll see that "nine to six" is a "traditional form," and "nine 'til six" is the bastardization that doesn't even make it into textbooks.

Don't worry Moustache, I am half coon arse, and I didn't have a clue until I just read what it meant.... and its stupid! Sounds like some shite a third grader would the one up with ....
