I concur with the brownish looking older greys.
The light greys look yellow compared to lbg.
|
Yes. The “Bluish” aren’t bluish, they are really grey. They only appear bluer
than the old greys because those were actually yellowish. But they already had
a name and people were used to their names and tints, so the newer ones were
named “Bluish.”

I want to make sure I purchase ones that match what I already have.

Depends, what do you have? 
If it’s post-2005, it’s DBG.
If it’s pre-2004, it’s DG.
In between, well, the Big Colour Shift happened in 2004 but LEGO used their stocks
for a while 
You can also check the inventories of your sets. If both greys were used for
a set, it’s generally noted in the inventory (Alternates section).
Also some parts exist only, or are much more frequent, in one dark grey.

Since
is an arch, 49699 should perhaps just be a slope
|
I don’t quite follow the logic here
Half an arch might be a slope but, surely, an arch + an inverted arch is not
a slope, it’s a cylinder!

|
Okay but then it should be a Slope AND a Slope Inverted. And both Double. So
does that make it Quadruple or Double-Double?
We really need a catmin who is used to deep and rigorous classifications.
I don’t know, maybe an entomologist or something like that?

My first thought is technic or window frame
|
Well:
1. Window (or door) frame implies you could put a glass or panel (or door)
inside. That seems very unlikely with the technic holes in the way.
2. It’s been used in System (City) sets for now BUT it sure looks like a Technic
Brick, yet not really.
So Technic could do but not really “Technic Brick” and there are no similar parts
(that I know of) in the other Technic categories, that would mean it should fall
in the general “Technic” category, which is already overpopulated.
I’m not envying the catmins

It took me a while but I misunderstood the purpose of this post at first. I
had originally thought that it was to arrange a trade for a rare brick for possibly
another rare brick. You know, 3 or 4 messages to establish the trade. Then
the trade happening via bricklink Private messages because, why would anyone
one else be interested in the details of one person's trade?
However, as I stated, I was wrong. This thread was meant to be a long, rambling,
time consuming library of Australian slang and possibly insults(I don't truthfully
know as I don't have the Australian to American translator to hand).

Looks like Devil.R is not alone¹: they answer multiple times to the same messages
and they keep answering to themselves.
(¹That expression may have a figurative colloquial meaning, at least it has one
in French, but I’m not implying that. IOW, if you think I’m saying something
demeaming, honi soit qui mal y pense )
That thread could be a bit more sufferable if other people² (whose answers trigger
my reading: I’m an optimist and always hope for something useful to be said)
would correctly cut the quotes, and eventually decide if they want to top-post
or bottom-post.
(²Regulars should lead by example.)

Someone’s waste is someone else’s treasure. Well, sometimes
