Just...yuck. Makes me cringe every time I see it used.

It's a horrible word.

PrincessKitKat · 23/08/2013 16:40

Vile.

KarmaBiatch · 23/08/2013 16:41

agreed! I hope it's not one of these new social media words that makes it in to the oxford dictionary, it really turns my stomach!

YANBU. I find it really insensitive. Like it belittles rape.

PlateSpinningAtAllTimes · 23/08/2013 16:44

Exactly, Todd

Not clever, not funny.

On similar note, I used to work in a bar where the manager used 'raped' to mean destroyed / tired - as in 'that party have totally raped the fridges, there's no wine left' or 'god, we all look raped after this shift'

I tried so many times to explain why it was gross, but just got told I needed a sense of humour Hmm

KarmaBiatch · 23/08/2013 16:47

That manager has a disgusting sense of humour. Not much to laugh about when it comes to being a victim of rape Angry

YANBBU Angry

MisselthwaiteManor · 23/08/2013 16:53

That's shocking Sophita

veryconfusedatthemoment · 23/08/2013 16:56

what does it mean? Never heard it before.

AKissIsNotAContract · 23/08/2013 16:57

Rape does have more than one meaning though.

FetaCheeny · 23/08/2013 16:59

YANBU completely belittles rape

quesadilla · 23/08/2013 16:59

Vile. I hadn't heard it before.

MisselthwaiteManor · 23/08/2013 17:00

it's when someone hacks into your facebook page and makes a post veryconfused

veryconfusedatthemoment · 23/08/2013 17:04

Why - thank you!

PlateSpinningAtAllTimes · 23/08/2013 17:08

veryconfused it ranges from a status saying 'likes it up the arse' to 'loves his wife very much and thinks she is the best thing that ever happened to him'. Neither of which made up statuses ('stati??') are remotely like rape. I wish there was another term that was on the same level of seriousness as the 'offence'.

Well I hate it now - I thought the word was 'Frap' so it didn't bother me! I always get words wrong...

FreudiansSlipper · 23/08/2013 17:12

YANBU

pumpkinsweetie · 23/08/2013 17:12

It's vile, i have never understood why some fbookers think it is acceptable to use the word frape. A word related to rape, used for comical reason is way not funny.

AKissIsNotAContract · 23/08/2013 17:13

But rape also means to plunder.

Do you get this angry when people say they could murder a pint? Murder is a serious crime too.

LeoandBoosmum · 23/08/2013 17:14

I must be naive... What does it mean?

Wolfcub · 23/08/2013 17:15

BuskersCat · 23/08/2013 17:18

Actually I do not have a problem with this term, and use it myself.
