It annoys me and it's not funny.

You want to be known as craiczilla so?

If anyone I knew said workzilla or shagzilla, I'd give them a swerve.

Then you'd be doing them a massive favour Grin

Onhold · 07/07/2017 20:35

I might NC to Fuckoffzilla.

Too right I'd be doing them a favour. They could hang out with their 'zany' mates.

You really need to pull that stick out you're ass, OP 😂😂😂

Getting so angry about something so trivial is a sign there's something somewhere going wrong in your life.

EdmundCleverClogs · 07/07/2017 20:38

Because it's not funny. No one in RL ever said zilla.

Really, I'd disagree. Anyway, it isn't a humour device, it is used as a suffix to instantly recognise someone is being very unreasonable/difficult in their behaviour. You don't seem to understand how language works....

DotForShort · 07/07/2017 20:40

Zilla zilla zilla zilla zilla.

It's fun to say (and to type).

Onhold · 07/07/2017 20:40

Oh I know exactly how language works on iinternet forums.

Onhold doesn't come across as particularly angry to me.

fourquenelles · 07/07/2017 20:41

I just see it as a convenient shorthand. Four little letters that convey the entitlement, the bratishness, the batshit craziness and the "I'm all right Jack" attitude escapees from the School of Cuntishness display. I know what I am going to get when there is a zilla thread.

I don't know about spider willy rubbing on darked on washing but I do know that I have tiny, tiny spiders in my garden at the moment creating massive web hammocks.

finnmcool · 07/07/2017 20:41

What about Godzilla?

Onhold · 07/07/2017 20:41

I'm fuming, Sparkers. Livid Angry ]angry]

I know a lovely person called Zilla. I think it means earthquake in an Indian language?

klip · 07/07/2017 20:42

I agree! And it's not even Godzilla, it's gojira you morons! Get it right.

(That was a TERRIBLE film, why do I remember it so vividly?)

Onhold · 07/07/2017 20:42

Godzilla can stay.

You know what annoys me and is not funny? A self-appointed Thread Cop zilla.

Sparklingbrook · 07/07/2017 20:43

Oh no Onhold. Is the zilla thing all you have to worry about too? Grin

ShinyGirl · 07/07/2017 20:44

It's all a bit overdone now isn't it?

Sparklingbrook · 07/07/2017 20:44

Ticks off 'Thread police'.

BreakfastAtSquiffanys · 07/07/2017 20:45

-zilla suffix . Great
-gate suffix. Stop it.

Sittinginthesun · 07/07/2017 20:46

I'm nodding here, OP. I just ignore them, though.

Was very pleased to see the weasel thread revived the other day. Made a welcome change.

Onhold · 07/07/2017 20:47

I love being the thread police. I could do with some back up here.
