To not change my name because MNHQ is not 'entirely sure it works''

[JamRagRolyPoly]

Is this a normal request? And why do they care?

I'll do it if it makes them really happy though

lots of teacher-y types on here today

Never heard of a jam rag before this thread. Can't say it's a term I will be using
In the future either, but whatever, if you like it keep it.

"lots of teacher-y types on here today"

Where?

And what is a "teacher-y type" anyway?

I've never heard the phrase 'jam rag' before.

That's what I like about MN. I'm becoming more edumacated every day.

God almighty there are MUCH worse names on here!

I like it OP, it makes me laugh and i always remember who you are because of it when I read your posts :)

And why is ok to have the word 'cunt' in thread titles but not 'jam rag; - seriously?

Jam rag is fine, but roly poly? I mean, really

I object to the linking of a fab pud with periods.

mmm. jam roly poly.

erm.

Not now, thanks.

I'm put off for life.

I think I might sue.

You lot are going to do wonders for my diet you bunch of bastards

How about changing it to RedRagOn .sort of Red Dragon.

Keep it! First time I heard the expression was forty years ago and it was deployed by a smutty and spotty thirteen-year old boy. I was rather taken aback at the time, but hearing it so many times over the years has reduced its value for me.

Tell MNHQ it's a political act - you are stealing the expression out of the mouths of smutty schoolboys of all ages and claiming it for women.

We'll all be having to call ourselves 'prettyinpink' or 'earthmother' or 'soccermom' at this rate.

I haven't noticed you before and if you hadn't started this thead I wouldn't have thought twice about your name (sheltered life like some above). Its be no means the worst I've seen.

I don't like your name but I'm sure that won't bother you.

I wouldn't complain about it but obviously someone was offended by it.

JamSpongeRolyPoly is much better imho - I can pretend it's just about food.

PMSL @ valium especially ^ontheblobblamange^ - that pure genius

jam your name didn't offend me as didn't get it - doesn't offend me now either TBH but love the jamspongerolypoly idea.

I am intrigued that people find your name amusing rather than crude and yucky.

I read that as on the blobbla mange.

I do not find periods crude or yucky, maybe that's why.

...... that's what I mean by "teacher-y" - a bit cat's bum mouth....

I don't find periods crude or yucky, what silly thing to say.

I find jam rag (school boy slang for used sanitary towel) associated with something supposedly delicious to eat, crude and yucky.

I understand that people aren't offended ... I don't get the amusement factor at all though.

[cats bum and proud]

I am a teacher in fact...

Yes to schoolboy humour. Find it bizarre that people seem to find it amusing.

I'm still going with trying too hard...

what silly thing to say.

I think that's cupofbrownjoy's point well made
