Second source can be used in many different ways. So in GONZO's instance He would be working on his car (the source) would be a different mechanic. and he is right alot of people around here are just certified idiots. But i still dont see why this post had to go anal over two words, drama queen

Source= You
Second source= someone else
and its not a new term it has been used for years, being a mechanic i am supprised you have never heard this joey



i have worked in both parts and repair for almost 9 years now, and this is the first time i have ever heard of that phrase. i was taught Sublet.


and i hope you werent referring to my wife being a drama queen, her post was not directed at anyone on here at the moment. it was a generalization of how people act and basically was being said to INHIBIT anything like that from happening.

apparently, it wasnt. cause i was confused as fuck too. that is what i figured it meant, but i wanted to clarify that was the intention.

so excuse the fuck out of us for wanting to clarify what someone said.
