It is all in how you read it.


Quote:
Merriam-Webster.com dictionary

Main Entry: 2splash
Function: noun
Date: 1736
1 a (1): splashed liquid or semiliquid substance; also : impounded water released suddenly (2): a spot or daub from or as if from splashed liquid b: a colored patch
2 a: the action of splashing b: a short plunge
3: a sound produced by or as if by a liquid falling, moving, being hurled, or oscillating
4 a: a vivid impression created especially by ostentatious activity or appearance
b: ostentatious display

5: a small amount : sprinkling
Maybe it was double entendre or maybe he innocently meant SPLASH as in Halloween Bash. The Mounts Halloween bash fits the bold-ed definition above. Maybe a poor choice of words or maybe some readers are giving too much thought to each word. Or maybe a tasteless joke. Are YOU sure you know what he meant to say?

Don't worry. Be Happy
