BupcakesandCunting When I came on to this thread I immediately thought of you, I can't remember seeing anyone else with cunt in their name.

Such a trouble maker you are! Wink

SuePurblybilt · 13/06/2011 00:06

Nooo, strawberry, i can think of 4 or 5 cunts. Bupp is not standing alone up to her oxters in the sewage ridden tide of filthy language. There are others.

methodsandmaterials · 13/06/2011 00:07

pick, I am humbled by your knowledge of linguistics.

AnyFucker · 13/06/2011 00:07

BupCakesAndCunting is one of the best MN names ever

pickgo · 13/06/2011 00:07

strawberrymewmew - is that a euphemism for clitoris?

StrawberryMewMew · 13/06/2011 00:07

Really? I guess the other cunts just haven't stuck out as much to me then. :o

StrawberryMewMew · 13/06/2011 00:08

Pick It's not... But it would be a good one.

SuePurblybilt · 13/06/2011 00:08

That's true, she does get around Grin

bupcakesandcunting · 13/06/2011 00:10

There are other cunts on here! Grin

I don't find swearing offensive. Why? Because I am a grown-up/not a vicar's wife. If I dislike something, I can opt to ignore it. This is what grown-ups do, rather than berating other grown-up's choices. If someone can write an eloquent post on here with or without swearing, then I will read it and heed it. If you dismiss someone because of a sweary name, it makes you a bit of a divvy, by my reckoning. Personally, I am VERY fucking offended by these "mummy2threehunnies1990" types.

pickgo · 13/06/2011 00:11

methodsandmaterials please allow me to elucidate further - your name is a reference to bumsex and lube is it not?
Whereas Anyfucker is just a straight analogy to the ancient figure of Everyman.

KurriKurri · 13/06/2011 00:13

Oh fuck, Pickgo - I've made the same elementary mistake my parents made when they chose my real life name. It must be some kind of hereditary 'using swears for names' gene.

Actually my DC were born in the 80's, but 80smum is already taken, so I guess if I wanted to change my name I'd have to choose a sweary one - there's nothing else left.

Chaos - what cryptic clue? Confused

StrawberryMewMew · 13/06/2011 00:13

Bupcakes I fucking love your name! :o

And you're right, grown ups should be able to ignore swearing if they don't like it. After all, how would they cope in rl with an attitude like that?

bupcakesandcunting · 13/06/2011 00:14

They cope with liberal amounts of crossed arms/pursed lips/tutting. And lots of these Hmm faces.

StrawberryMewMew · 13/06/2011 00:17

This thread reminds me of an episode of South Park where they started showing a tv show on it with swearing, it got to a certain point then I think hell literally broke out of earth.

bupcakesandcunting · 13/06/2011 00:20
Grin
StrawberryMewMew · 13/06/2011 00:24

I agree :o

ColdHeartedBitch · 13/06/2011 00:27

have to say i do agree with Bupcakes
"Personally, I am VERY fucking offended by these "mummy2threehunnies1990" types."

Those kinda names are far more offensive.

StrawberryMewMew · 13/06/2011 00:27

Love it! I think 80sMum should listen to that. Wink

Pennybubbly · 13/06/2011 00:32

My RL surname really is a swear-word Blush
(I married a foreigner).
Can all the people who snigger when I say my name "grow up a bit" too? Wink

bupcakesandcunting · 13/06/2011 00:33

Grin The Uncle Fucker song never fails to raise a smile here. Perhaps I need to grow up, OP was right.

StrawberryMewMew · 13/06/2011 00:39

It makes me smile too. :) I love South Park, that must make me a bad person for enjoying the swearyness. :o

izzywhizzyletsgetbusy · 13/06/2011 00:41

For moms everywhere, this is one of my favourites

StrawberryMewMew · 13/06/2011 00:43

I think I'm going to be up all night watching South Park videos. :o

If you all could see me just now. Blush

80sMum · 13/06/2011 00:53

Oh dear! I just don't see anything noteworthy about South Park. It seems to be crude just for crudeness' sake. How is that funny or witty or clever? Maybe I'm just too old for this sort of thing!

StrawberryMewMew · 13/06/2011 01:14

Well considering how popular it is, I think you may be in the minority with your view.

Have a Wine and let your hair down. :o After all, it is only words.
