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

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.

Perhaps a bit of a lie down, Mardy?

Mards, did you wake up this mroning with the sole objective of getting MNers to join you in your overthinking quest?

I'll bet you're laying back now with a smg grin on your face right now.

Mission accomplished.

FlissPaps.

Does she pass muster?

MardyBra · 18/05/2012 10:01

FlissPaps = failure because there are no such words as Fliss or Paps

FrankWippery?

MardyBra · 18/05/2012 10:02

Frank = a name, so passes.

MardyBra · 18/05/2012 10:03

Cunning Stunt is a double pass, because they are both real words.

I fail, you say?

A shit I do not give.

Bearcrumble · 18/05/2012 10:05

Fliss is short for Felicity.

PrincessFiorimonde · 18/05/2012 10:06

Scrap my first post; was just being dim; sorry.

Otoh, much as I like Buppy's name, does it really fit the 'name making sense each way' criterion? I mean, what is a bupcake?

GretaGip · 18/05/2012 10:06

See, Hullygully's could bea spoonerism and we'd never know.

Mysterious gal.

bronze · 18/05/2012 10:06

Fliss is a well known shortening of felicity

MardyBra · 18/05/2012 10:06

Sorry Fliss. Blush Just off on one.

fanjoforthemammaries7850 · 18/05/2012 10:07

Paps is a word for boobies where I come from!

debka · 18/05/2012 10:08

I know what you're getting at Mardy.

I agree.

This lot obviously haven't woken up properly yet.

Ambrosius · 18/05/2012 10:08

Bupcakes aren't a real thing though! And norman is Cunting!

BlackholesAndRevelations · 18/05/2012 10:08

Bruxeur- hahaha at your definition of kucking funt! that was taken seriously

PrincessFiorimonde · 18/05/2012 10:08

I like FrankWippery too. Especially when someone on another thread told her to go get eaten by a fox. I don't know why that made me laugh, but it did.

MardyBra · 18/05/2012 10:08

OMG. I take it back. Urban Dictionary definition of fliss:

"The act of slicing one's partner's genitalia with construction paper. The delicate art of Flissing has been around since the ancient Egyptians who would use papyrus to exact revenge on their cheating partner. Also known in Arabic as Falassah. Some individuals have embraced the Fliss as a form of unique sexual exploration. They are known as Flissers.
I can't believe Jim would hook up with that slut on my birthday! I am totally going to FLISS the shit out of him tonight while he is sleeping."

OK you pass Fliss.
