It just feels like some people are still spitting their tea out over the first 'cockwomble' 500 million years ago. So often someone will post something genuinely nasty or upsetting that they're dealing with, and in among the thoughtful responses you'll see 'Yanbu, he's a cuntwibble/arsewagon/tit-carrot [insert one syllable swear word followed by arbitrary two syllable noun]. No other contribution, they just wanted to get that in there in the hope of a 'PMSL, User12345567 won the internet today!!!!!! GrinGrinGrin'

It's OLD.

Tell me I'm not the only one who cringes when this happens?

And anticipating the 'You're not the MN police' brigade.... I'm not saying people have to stop doing it. Just that I wish they would Smile

Yeah there’s something about spidey-senses

Shouldn’t it be spider senses anyway?

MangoSpice · 29/11/2019 19:36

I say gosh a lot IRL. Rarely type it however.

DaphneFanshaw · 29/11/2019 19:40

Are you ok Op ?
You’re coming across as a bit of a cunty ninny nogins.

JesusInTheCabbageVan · 29/11/2019 19:42

I've started saying 'gosh' IRL as our (lovely and extremely wholesome) childminder is religious and according to DS is not even keen on kids saying 'God' as an expression of surprise/consternation. I constantly worry that I'll shout 'Fuck!' by accident when searching for an acceptable alternative to 'God'.

QueenoftheBiscuitTin · 29/11/2019 19:48

OldElPasoHadAChicken · 29/11/2019 19:53

Oh fuck it, come on, would it really sound better if people merely said "fucking cunt" instead.
