I've got a suggestion for you, granite skull.... I'll wait here while you go borrow a high speed drill and put a high strength, tungsten carbide bit in it. Then you can attempt to drill a hole into that solid fucking rock that is your head, so that maybe something remotely resembling knowledge might have a miniscule chance of finding its way down inside of it.
In the meantime, regarding your above spittle flecked rage:
First... I don't give two shits about the lawsuit or the allegations made by it. I was responding to a specific false comment which implied, suggested or hinted, that the claims of Russian hacking made by the left had to do with voting machines being tampered with and/or votes being altered.
Nobody on the left ever suggested such a thing.
Second: Lawsuit notwithstanding, the general claim by the left and the suggestion by some in the media, is that Russia was behind the hacking of Democrat emails and releasing them thru WikiLeaks, to damage Clinton's chances.
And THAT^^^ is the truth of what was being claimed by most people who believe as I do, that Russia meddled in and tampered with our election with the aim of helping Trump.
Fuck what the lawsuit claims and FUCK YOU, ASSHOLE.
There are herds of elephants running around the Serengeti that collectively, couldn't match the pile of mental turds you just shit, crabby patty. The fact that you give Urban Dictionary the credibility to actually cite which definition is the first one, shows the profound depth of your lack of intellect.
Just because the ignorant redneck filth you were raised by not only used every racial slur known to man but took a few innocent terms and turned them into racial slurs, does not mean that everyone else talks that way. No surprise to me at all that you associate any use of the word ape with racism, given how you probably spent your life using it that way. No surprise also, that you'd know every racial slur that has ever existed, for the same reason.
I knew a guy in high school back in the 70's who used to call everyone yard apes. White, Hispanic, Asian, black. Didn't matter and had nothing to do with race. If you look at the context of the WAY I used it, as well WHO I used it towards, i.e. right-wing conservatives, it's obvious to anyone with an ounce or better of brain matter, that I didn't mean it the way you imply.
So, your flimsy-ass "gotcha" attempt is as weak as everything else that spews out of your puke hole.
And just to show that I'm not the only one who sees it the same way, I'm going to include some quotes by regular people like most of us here at JPP (members of an internet forum) discussing the very subject.
From MacResource.com
OK, this might be a touchy subject, but I want to see what my friends think. When I was growing up, a Yardape was a Homer Simpson like character. An (sub)urban dwelling low-land gorilla drinking beer in the yard/driveway. Mostly harmless. It seems that in other parts of the country it is an offensive, derogatory slang term. I picked 'YardApe' as my name on my Hockey Jersey but I'd clearly never heard of this alternative meaning. I don't want to offend people or make them think I'm a racist. Have you ever heard of a Yardape? What does it mean to you? Is Pittsburgh the only place in the country where the word has a different meaning? I think my jersey may never see the light of day now, which is sad. It is horrifying to think that I've been mistaken for 30+ years about this word. Many of my friends from Pittsburgh refer to each other as yardapes. It is a jape that we throw affectionately at each other.
Even Pittsburghers can't agree on the meaning. This defines it as small children.

Quote: Yard Apes - Small children. "Yinz two yard apes better settle dahn er yer gonna get a lickin!"
I should point out that I'm a white male raised in suburbia. Perhaps I just lived a sheltered life. I never meant to offend anyone. If I've called you a 'yardape', it was meant as an affectionate jest rather than a slanderous accusation. Please forgive me.
**********
I've always associated yardape as you did and I'm in Florida. The truth is there are always people that find something offensive. You can never please everyone and shouldn't try.
**********
I've never heard the term, but this is what Urban Dictionary has to say:
1. yardape
A young fellow who:
A. Sets your garbage can on fire
B. Has intercourse with every female friend you have
C. Steals your child's red wagon
D. then rides said wagon down a steep incline at a high rate of speed
E. enjoys urban bolfing
F. @#$%& furiously
Jayson is the dumbest yardape ever - he took a dump in my washer and shaved my cat.
**********
I've never head the term at all...
On it's face, as a person raised in California, I don't see anything wrong with it..
HOWEVER...
I have discovered that ANY term using ANY name of ANY non homo sapiens homonid (any monkey species, or ape, or chimpanzee) is automatically construed as being derogatory towards african americans.
So I TRY to be careful who and when I call someone a "stupid ape", or tell someone "any monkey could do that"... lest it be constued that I'm talking about something that I emphatically am NOT.

also work in lumberyards
rugrats and yardapes used to mean the same thing
**********
I always thought it just meant a small child, also known as a rugrat, curtain climber, knee biter, etc., but it isn't a term I have heard a lot.
**********
Our unofficial college volleyball team were the Yard Apes. I saw (see) nothing derogatory about it here in MI.

Interesting. I learned something new today!
Where I grew up, a "yard ape" was that one weird old guy in the neighborhood who sat in a lawn chair all day chugging beers with one hand and doing unspeakable things in his pants with the other.
I guess it's got different meanings in different regions of the country.
But this Internet thing keeps bringing us together.
Some day, there won't be any local colloquialisms anymore.
**********
Around here (SW Iowa), yardape is used in reference to kid playing outside.
**********
I always thought of rugrats as infants, and yardapes as toddlers old enough to play outside. Grew up in Southern Illinois and I don't recall yardape being used racially, and I heard plenty of racial epithets.
**********
i've heard many derogatory racist slang terms thrown out, and yard ape was never one of them.
*********"
don't forget that urbandictionary tends to draw a larger percent of people who use derogatory or off-color terms.
**********
Just happened to this forum as I was checking the origin of the term. I mentioned to my wife that Russell Crowe's Pittsburgh-based character in The Next Three Days uses the term affectionately for his son. I was quite surprised to learn of the negative use. Anyone who is familiar with the Ramona books by Beverly Cleary would know immediately of her use of it in those books. Ramona calls her playground nemesis-turned friend Danny "Yard Ape".
**********
AND FINALLY... here is the website of a landscape company located in New Milford, CT called....
You guessed it.... YARD APES
So, the long and short of it all is this.... you may consider yourself proven to be FULL OF SHIT, as usual.
sailorboy.
