to think that user names that are spoonerisms should mean something?

[MardyBra]

There are a lot of spoonerised sweary names about at the moment.

PatFenis and BettySwollocks get a big tick because they suggest proper names

I love buppy's name, especially as it takes something as twee as cupcakes and bunting and completely subverts the concept.

CunningStunt gets a double tick because it forms two new words.

What I don't get are the names which don't create something else - along the lines of ShuckingFit.

[MardyBra]

I'm overanalysing this aren't I?

[MardyBra]

Actually ShuckingFit could mean something, I suppose.

[bruxeur]

Erm.

Fucking shit?

[bruxeur]

You need a better example.

[thebody]

Have you been drinking?

[MardyBra]

What I mean, bruxeur, is when the sweary words get spoonerised, they should create a proper word, not something meaningless.

[MardyBra]

No thebody, I've just lost the plot.

[uberalice]

I think the point BrardyMa is saying is that whilst FuckingShit means something, ShuckingFit doesn't.

[bronze]

Erm what ?

[GretaGip]

I completely agree that you are ovre-thinking.

[bronze]

But patfenis makes one new word which the op said was ok. Is fit not a word?

[bruxeur]

A shucking fit is what fishmongers experience sometimes when they've been preparing oysters for too long without a break.

[MardyBra]

OK, what I mean is that KuckingFunt, for example, doesn't actually mean anything when it's transformed.

But CunningStunt does.

[MardyBra]

Shuckingfit was a bad example. I agree.

I'm struggling to be uncreative.

[bruxeur]

A kucking funt is a piece of furniture in Ulster churches that can double as a slow cooker.

[MardyBra]

OK, fair enough bruxeur. IABU and a little weird

[BigDavesGusset]

I'm with you MardyBra, I've always thought this too.

The ones that work are clever and funny, but some of them are just a bit lame.

[MardyBra]

Finally someone understands me. Thanks BigDave. Phew.

[OhNoMyFanjo]

Mardy, stop being so..erm.... Mardy

[PrincessFiorimonde]

But KuckingFunt does mean something when it's Spoonerised. It's just spelled wrongly differently (FuckingKunt).

[PrincessFiorimonde]

I see your point too, Mardy. It's just that your examples are a bit, umm, lame.

I like bruxeur's helpful definitions, though.

[MardyBra]

PrincessF. What I mean is that when FuckingKunt gets spoonerised into KuckingFunt, KuckingFunt doesn't mean anything.

[MardyBra]

Sorry Princess, was replying to your first post.

[MardyBra]

Yes. Examples are lame. There are only so many swear words to spoonerise. And lots of them start with b. So fucking becomes bucking.

[MardyBra]

Apologies to KuckingFunt, btw. I wasn't intending to name names, but I wasn't really explaining myself very well. Nothing personal intended.
