AIBU about this twitter name?

59 replies

AIBU to think that "silverfox" is not a suitable twitter handle for a Head Teacher's twitter account? Male. His students follow him. His school retweets him.

I don't know, there's just something mildly uncomfortable about the whole thing.

Have name changed for obvious reasons.

He could call himself 'upstandingmember'

phantomnamechanger · 27/02/2014 22:15

we know who you are MCSF

DailyBread · 27/02/2014 22:16

What's a handle?

YANBU btw. It's a bit odd.

BusinessUnusual · 27/02/2014 22:19

Why is he not blocking students from following him?

ROFL at MCSF.

No. He is not fit, although he does have enormous shoes.

Daily Bread the handle is the name after the @, ie @massivecocksilverfox

But does he look like Philip Schofield?

phantomnamechanger · 27/02/2014 22:23

fittingly, massivecocksilverfox is quite a large handle

steppemum · 27/02/2014 22:24

well, it depends. We have a foreign surname, which means The Fox, so dh and I often use fox in our user names, so I wouldn't blink an eyelid, because to me, silver fox is what dh might use when he eventually goes old and grey!

Am I missing a meaning here?

Silverfox means foxy ie sexy older man. A bit like cougar, maybe.

Gosh he's allowed to have a Twitter nickname and be a fine upstanding member of the community!

Usual Grin

AnyFuckerHQ · 27/02/2014 22:29

well, you know what they say about enormous shoes ....

erm....

enormous socks Wink

JeanSeberg · 27/02/2014 22:29

I really want to start a thread now asking for suggestions for other asexual people like Philip Schofield thanks to AF.

Also tempted to google MCSF. Grin

Sorry but what is your point exactly? Confused

Is there something wrong with considering yourself attractive and reflecting that in your user name?

UnexpectedItemInShaggingArea · 27/02/2014 22:33

Oh thank the Lord for this thread. MN is so fucking joyless tonight I've finally found some humour Smile

SantasLittleMonkeyButler · 27/02/2014 22:33

Nah, don't see the problem either. From the thread title I thought you were going to say something lovely like "spunkmaster" or "cumswhenyoucall" etc. etc. etc.

Silverfox is fine, isn't it? Confused. Although upstandingmember does have a certain ring to it Grin.

ouryve · 27/02/2014 22:36

Why? It's just a term for a vaguely good looking grey haired guy. Pornstar is inappropriate. Silverfox is not.

JeanSeberg · 27/02/2014 22:38

Lol at spunkmaster. Inspired Santa!
