... not 'What the chuff... ?' 'What the jeff... ?' (!) nor any other toecurlingly twee synonym. If you can't say 'fuck' for some reason, 'What on earth... ?' is quite acceptable. Done. Grin

Do children often send you links to peer-reviewed journals, WillowintheUK? Incidentally, why are you only Willow 'in the UK'? What are you elsewhere?

didyouseetheflaresinthesky · 25/09/2018 22:43

Children don't generally swear. Adults swear. It's not really the done thing for a child to swear. Therefore swearing is not childish. Now off you fuck pop, dear.

WillowintheUK · 25/09/2018 22:44

@HerRoyalFattyness - but are you really royal .... and fat?

I'm not. I'm willow-like. And I live in the UK.

GorgonLondon · 25/09/2018 22:45

I'm willow-like.

Droopy, wet and green?

Totopoly · 25/09/2018 22:45

@WillowintheUK @GorgonLondon Guess what: I have a PhD too. I don't swear in front of my adorable Hmm teenagers, either. However, I do stomp off to my bedroom and shout FFS into my pillow. I think this is perfectly reasonable. Believe me, anything involving 'chuff' really wouldn't cut the proverbial mustard.

WillowintheUK · 25/09/2018 22:45

@GorgonLondon - a screen name I've had since the good old days of AOL.

Any more questions?

HerRoyalFattyness · 25/09/2018 22:46

willow yes. I am.
What's your point?

Im very fat actually. Want to try and pick on me for that as well as my foul mouth? Go ahead.

And as for royal, im certainly a princess Grin

didyouseetheflaresinthesky · 25/09/2018 22:46

I'm considering a name change to droopywetandgreen...

WillowintheUK · 25/09/2018 22:47

Oh, and I'm fairly slim and sylph-like. Original name came about as I admired Willow in the Buffy tv series.

kateandme · 25/09/2018 22:47

fuck used to be a lot worse a word when I was little.now there are so many more abusive words, fuck for me now is almost a term of endermant.iloveit.
it can be used as pre venom but also light and fun

WillowintheUK · 25/09/2018 22:49

@HerRoyalFattyness - I would never pick on you for your weight problems. I just wondered how true your name was. Very impressed at you being a princess.

Assuming you are happy with your size, just revel in being alive and enjoying life. I hope you do enjoy life.

GorgonLondon · 25/09/2018 22:49

Fucking hell, never thought the day would come that a Buffy fan would try to look down on... well, anyone really.

BillywigSting · 25/09/2018 22:50

What about 'what the bleedin feck'? Preferably accompanied by a muttered 'eejits'

HerRoyalFattyness · 25/09/2018 22:50

Fair enough. In that case what the buggery fuck did you want to know for?
Strange if you ask me. I don't actually care how "true" someones name is Confused

GorgonLondon · 25/09/2018 22:50

@Totopoly High five to you, fellow foul-mouthed doctorate-holder and child-spawner.

WillowintheUK · 25/09/2018 22:52

Mere curiosity Royal. Just passing the time on this here interwebulator.

HerRoyalFattyness · 25/09/2018 22:54
Confused

Ah well. Each to their own and all that jizz.

See, fucking heck would be perfect for my very religious American relatives. They can stand a fuck but no religious related ones!

Dhalandchips · 25/09/2018 22:56

Chuff is an alternative word for arse. As in 'tight as a gnat's chuff'.

I quite like chuff for comedy purposes. But for when I hit my thumb with a hammer (accidentally, of course!)for example, my favourite outburst is 'fuckshitbollockswank'
Gets it all out in one go. I don't have aPhD but I'm quite bright. Not at all willowy, and fucking happy as Larry. Ner ner nee ner ner.

WillowintheUK · 25/09/2018 22:56

I sometimes wonder myself what goes on in my head.

gingergenius · 25/09/2018 22:57

I think willow forgot her head tilt and tinkly laugh as she just successfully alienated just about everyone with her patronising fat shaming comments there.

gingergenius · 25/09/2018 22:58

Actually a chuff is the fluffy bit in between a penguin's feet where they store the egg until it hatches

HerRoyalFattyness · 25/09/2018 23:00

gingergenius
Watch out she might start telling you about how beautiful her blonde hair is or some shite. HmmGrin
But she definitely wouldn't be shaming you...oh no. Not willow...the slender sylph like willow Confused

WillowintheUK · 25/09/2018 23:00

Gorgon, I think I shall stay here - free country and all that. Royal and I are becoming friends, and I don't want anything to stop this friendship blooming into something special.
