ask

The archaic form of the question verb, "to axe."

Being from the late 20th century, Fry's mispronunciation of the interrogative question verb "axe" as "ask" is often lost among his confused kinfolk.

ask

verb: to present a question, or to request something.

Misused by stupid British soccer commentators as a substitute for job, task, or assignment. The same commentators also butcher the language by using "take" in place of control, take possession, or catch.

He will ask me what age I am.
I can ask her for coffee.

He has to stop Messi from scoring tonight: that's a big ask.

The goalkeeper comes for the ball: that's a good take.

ask

One of the thousands of search engines available in the United States but is nowhere near as cool as google or yahoo because it does not offer an add URL service for free, cheap asses.

Who the hell would use ask if they could just use google and rake in the dough for their business advertising on the best search engine anywhere?
