I don't know. I need clear examples. I don't seem em.

Are they, like, Chillax Smuggers?

ClothesOfSand · 23/01/2012 14:10

There is some truth to the saying that if you want to be offended, go on the internet. Very little mean spiritedness happens in day to day life. I probably don't bump into people saying vile things because those charmers are too busy sat at a keyboard typing.

Hullygully · 23/01/2012 14:10

Wouldn't PARD be the middle course?

TheVermiciousKnid · 23/01/2012 14:11

Hm, I'm not sure - don't Daily Mail readers froth too, but about different issues? Or maybe they froth unintelligibly or unintelligently ?

I can't justify this in any rational way, but I think the opposite of a frother would be a curdler.

ValarMorghulis · 23/01/2012 14:12

I get what you meant OP.
And I agree

Honeydragon · 23/01/2012 14:12

no because if you are professionally offended you are frothing

If your stance is professionally unoffended than that's not PARD, because you are still being a twat.

Honeydragon · 23/01/2012 14:13

or what Hully said in like six words Blush

Hullygully · 23/01/2012 14:15

I think they are like the chillax smuggers then.

"Oh yeah, don't sweat it, just chillax" Like that? Or what?

Honeydragon · 23/01/2012 14:25

ooooooh I like smuggers as the opposite of frothers

AIBU to be have been horrifically racially insulted today?

Smugger: Get a grip, it's not like you were knived, I fail to see why you are all finding this offensive, get a thicker skin, it was probably a joke.

yeah, smugger works

pigletmania · 23/01/2012 14:28

I totally agree people just want to be offended about everything.

TheVermiciousKnid · 23/01/2012 14:30

I have to agree, smuggers sounds even better than curdlers.

Smugging do-badders. Grin

MmeLindor. · 23/01/2012 14:37

Smuggers are very good.

I always think of them as Matchboxers.

You know the old "eeee by gum, you were lucky to have a mouldy cramped house, when I were young we had to share a matchbox".

What is PARD?

Hullygully · 23/01/2012 14:38

Polite And Reasonable Discourse.

Which I have slightly abandoned today as I have started a thread saying all rightwingers are cunts. But in extremis.

Honeydragon · 23/01/2012 14:38

Polite And Reasonable Discourse Mme

NorthernWreck · 23/01/2012 14:40

Hully I have failed at PARD as I got deleted twice yesterday. [shame]

TheVermiciousKnid · 23/01/2012 14:40

Now I'm feeling very smug because I finally found out what PARD means without actually having to sum up the courage to ask. Grin

That does not make me a smugger though!

NorthernWreck · 23/01/2012 14:40

I mean Blush

What did you say Northern?

TheVermiciousKnid · 23/01/2012 14:45

How about CommonSmuggers, ArtexMonkey?

MmeLindor. · 23/01/2012 14:46

I liked your swerve from PARD into the redzone with KitchenRoll, Hully.

What I would have said if I had not been so polite and reasonable.

Hullygully · 23/01/2012 14:46

ah yes

NorthernWreck · 23/01/2012 14:47

I think I said something like fuck the fuck off and fuck off while you are doing it Hully.
I was provoked.
