Other than troll hunting and personal abuse etc.

eg: "don't you have anything better to worry about?"

Yes of course I fucking do. Just because I posted something doesn't mean it is the only cunting thing I care about!

There will soon be no words we are actually allowed I have decided that the word THE offends me. Please refrain from using it. It is pointless.

Can we still say 'wank badger'?

FrustratedSycamoresRocks · 28/03/2013 12:40

Don't ban the 'wank Badger' or 'leave the bastard'

cestlesautres · 28/03/2013 12:44

"Leave the bastard" is almost certainly iconic rather than cliched.

I haven't seen 'cocklodger' for a while. Do they still use it on Relationships?

FrustratedSycamoresRocks · 28/03/2013 12:58

I definately saw 'cocklodger' the other day.

ICBINEG · 28/03/2013 13:43

I think this talk of nothing left to say is over egging it...

We can replace 'grip' and 'biscuit' with 'TIGER' and 'fuck the fuck off' with 'wrap it in cunt bunting and pop it up your bottom' and I for one will be happy for at least a few more weeks...

Yes, we just need a bit of originality. Use your own words, not someone else's. Especially not the Daily Mail's. Creative variations on the cliched themes would at least be more interesting to read. Rude as you like.

There are online thesauruses.

TheBigJessie · 28/03/2013 15:24

No-one says, "are you young any more?" Have you noticed?

DorcasDelIcatessen · 28/03/2013 15:38

Anyone who says
"Sits On Hands..." I just imagine you typing with your face.

Wouldn't this be better in FWR?

ICBINEG · 28/03/2013 15:51

maryz Grin

that could work...in fact it could be a tick box / radio button.

YouTheCat · 28/03/2013 16:03

I am definitely going to say 'sits on hands' at some point and then type with my face.

DorcasDelIcatessen · 28/03/2013 16:24

Cool You :o Me imagining it wouldn't be needed.

YouTheCat · 28/03/2013 16:42

Can we please outlaw people saying "dude"? I feel like I'm reading posts by my teenage brother.

OhChristHasRisenFENTON · 28/03/2013 18:04

Oh, but I rather like a well placed 'dude' - let it stay.

scottishmummy · 28/03/2013 18:12

Dude makes me think of past it mammies thinking they are hipsters
Yea dude,go do the groceries and school,run and stop pretending to be too cool for skool

cestlesautres · 28/03/2013 18:17

Could we vote on all of these? Have a dinky questionnaire?

WorraLiberty · 28/03/2013 18:21

Oh god yes I cringe when I read/hear that from any adult.

It's so 'try hard teenager' and really shouldn't be said by anyone over the age of 15.

scottishmummy · 28/03/2013 18:31

If you're on mn you're most certainly not a dude,nor is anyone else
Anyone remotely hip,and from dudeland isn't posting on mn,fact
Dudes are achingly cool elsewhere,unlike try too hard mammies giving it yo-yo dude

limitedperiodonly · 28/03/2013 18:35

Well, I'm a dude and I post here
D'ye want to do battle scottishmummy?
Barebreasted in the auld Highland fashion?

TheBigJessie · 28/03/2013 18:35

Dude, we're just being ironic/patronising/[insert adjective]. Deal with it, 'kay!
