I was watching <b>Call My Bluff</b> today, on <b>BBC 1</b>. One thing came up: "Which came first? The button, or the button hole?"

So, you've guessed it, this is what this poll is going to be based on! Not a "did the chicken or the egg come first" poll! :smile:

On with the poll....

Whoever rubbed the hardest came first.

Well, judging by The Good Book, the button came first :wink:

Oops, did I already mess up the clean thing?

Edit: (looks like Winding did, actually. Should have known.)

Ahaaa....so was that the button, or the buttonhole? :smile:

I'm gonna try to put up a fight! You're not turning this into some cess-pit of a poll! :frown:

I would have to think that would be the button, since buttons are always hard and ready to go, while button holes are usually dry, and would probably take longer since you'd have to get them going.

That would depend if you get hard button wet and slippy. :smile:

Winding knows all about dripping hard things, and dried-out wrinkly holes. The poor dear has had to "button up" a few people, despite being awful looking. His unzipping sound will keep me living in fear for the rest of my living years. :frown:

But wingding proposes that they're taking care of themselves, not each other. So, getting the button all wet and slippy wouldn't help the button hole. That would only help <i>ensure</i> that the button came first, without friction damage.

I'm glad I've never been close enough to hear his unzipping. As long as he stays on that side of the pond....

Ok the first serious response... the button hole. Simply because you can also use something else then a button to close your clothes (ie wire).

But then it's just a hole and not a "button" hole. The button had to come first, once they had the button they needed to attach it some way and then they put the hole in the button.

Exactly. How do you have a button hole if buttons don't exist? (I think that by "button hole", Basmic may mean the hole on the other side, that you put it through, not the hole in the button)

Svol, if you had a hole that you used to fasten your clothes by wire, before buttons existed, it would be a wire hole, not a button hole.

Let me clarify!

We have a shirt. When do you the buttons up, you insert the buttons into the button hole, closing the shirt.

I did not mean the actual holes on the buttons themselves!

As for keeping the threads clean.....well, it's about as easy as stoping ATI-vs-nVidia wars in the graphics section! :frown:

Anyhow, on the with poll! :smile:

Well you got the hole... and a button (when invented later) will fit in it.

But if we're going to explain which <i>name</i> came first then button would be a logic answer.

Well technically you can't have a button hole without a button. So the answer is button.

Exactly, but you can have a hole without a button.

So for the question: What came first the button or the hole... hole would be the answer.

But that was not the question.

The question was,
Which came first, the button or the button hole.
Not,
Which came first, the button or the hole.

Of course you can have a hole without a button. There were lots of other types of holes other than button holes before the button existed. Buttholes...etc.

Which hole?
The pee hole on the end of the schlong? Same time.
The coochie hole? Read Genesis.
Or a different hole?

The pussy hole... and I don't beleive the Bible (or the book of BS, however you want to call it). Man if we're going to beleive everyhting that is old and written I got some great stuff for you from Greek philosphers.

Have you read my book? It is very old and it has only one thing written in it: There is no God.

There you go again Svol.

Couldn't you just say, "I believe there is no God"?

After all you can't prove that there is or isn't one can you?

Hey may I show my opinion?

There is no proof there is a God or isn't a God... but there are douzens of proofs of errors in the Bible. And I don't beleive something that is written in a book where it is proofed that a lot of things said in it are totally wrong.

But you could've abstained from calling it the book of BS. That was quite disrespecting. Hell i'm not even christian but it sounded offending to me just imagine what others might feel.

Hmmm... yes that was too rude, my apologies to the ones that are hit by what I said. Must be because I hate it if people use the Bible as proof of something... I can get really pissed when that happens.

The only way to make sure whatever you say is not countered (except by idiots who disrespect opinions), is to simply add a connotative opinion expression like "I think", "IMO", "I believe", etc.
