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

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

It's funny. It took me by surprise, then when I'd worked it out, it made me laugh! It's icky funny! I dont find it repulsive. Let's face it, this is mumsnet. Bumsex, mooncups, poo trolls, what's wrong with a jamrag?

Valium-

WordsAreNoUseAtAll · 18/03/2012 16:19

OOH !

valiumredhead · 18/03/2012 16:21

Cursecustard! Grin

TheFallenMadonna · 18/03/2012 16:21

I'm not wildly keen on the bumsex trope either really...

Not my bit of MN.

valiumredhead · 18/03/2012 16:23

saggy quite!

We had a thread on here the other day which was about 5 pages long consisting mainly of swear words - not sure how jam rags can be seen as that bad really Confused

bibbityisaporker · 18/03/2012 16:24

Why would you equate mooncups with bumsex and the poo troll??

WordsAreNoUseAtAll · 18/03/2012 16:24

cuntmousemousse?

Or is it only my ex that calls tampons cuntmice?

valiumredhead · 18/03/2012 16:24

IF MN deem jamrags to be offensive than ALL names containing or hinting at anything vaguely period related/sex related/swearing should also be banned imho!

CakeandRoses · 18/03/2012 16:32

i think the OP has already changed her name way oop thread

PlentyOfPubeGardens · 18/03/2012 16:52

I bet some of you don't laugh at farts either Grin

Somebody was going round with 'cuntworms' in their name a while back.

MoonCupPunch?

bibbityisaporker · 18/03/2012 16:56

Aarrgghh I hated that cuntworms name, I really would have been pleased if mn had banned that.

chipsandmushypeas · 18/03/2012 16:57

Tampaxtrifle! Grin

I don't mind changing my name, it was meant to be a bit gross, but if it puts other members off talking to me I would rather change it.

Thanks for the suggestions Smile

SaggyOldClothCatPuss · 18/03/2012 16:58

Oh unclench Bibbity! Have a Brew

SaggyOldClothCatPuss · 18/03/2012 17:04

If you find a word offensive, then surely the people who use it against you as a derogatory term have got exactly what they wanted! If you take away the offence, then the word loses its power. I know it's only jamrag and not cunt, but really...

SaggyOldClothCatPuss · 18/03/2012 17:04

Although I'm not really in my right mind today, so I might be talking bollocks! I know what I mean! Confused

valiumredhead · 18/03/2012 17:05

I get what you mean saggy

HillyWallaby · 19/03/2012 13:17

It is a bit peurile and in bad taste, but then who am I to talk, having been F-e-ll-a-tio Nel---son for ages?

I though mine was at least a bit clever and funny though - unlike Jam Rag. Urgh.

FilterCoffee · 19/03/2012 13:34

I'd ignore "not entirely sure it works" as it's so indirect. Just get to the point :o However I don't think this is for real Wink

chipsandmushypeas · 19/03/2012 15:50

Erm, thanks?

valiumredhead · 19/03/2012 16:01

Oh you see OP your name always used to stand out, now it fades into the back ground Sad This has pissed me off more than it should Grin

ChickensHaveNoLips · 19/03/2012 16:03

I don't mind sweary names. My favourite ever is AnyFucker in her Christmas incarnation.

chipsandmushypeas · 19/03/2012 16:05

I know Valium but what can I do? Keep it and be hated. I couldn't think of a better one but liked tapaxtrifle very much Grin

valiumredhead · 19/03/2012 16:07

Change it to that then Grin Wink

I bet only a couple of misery guts complained anyone!
