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

YADNBU!

I always imagine the poster giving a little self satisfied smirk at how delightfully wacky they think they are being. It’s cringeworthy.

ClemDanFango · 29/11/2019 20:07

I like ’shart goblin’ the rest can fuck of though.

PollyShelby · 29/11/2019 20:07

Cockwomble makes me think of uncle Bulgaria having a wank on Wimbledon common.

It's unpleasant

LauraPalmersBodybag · 29/11/2019 20:07

Yeah I’m with you op. I don’t need to dress up my cursing. I save words like gosh and crikey for when I’m with my 3 year old...though she has been known to ‘oh fuck’ in perfect context before, so I’m obviously not doing a perfect job.

Though twunt doesn’t piss me off like cockwomble does - at least you know someone is aiming both twat and cunt at someone.

ClemDanFango · 29/11/2019 20:08

Shartgoblin and fuck OFF. I can’t even blame my phone anymore I’m just become more dense with age.

GreatUncleBulgariaWomble · 29/11/2019 20:08

Don't take my name in vain, you bunch of arse-bassoons.

“ I always imagine the poster giving a little self satisfied smirk at how delightfully wacky they think they are being. It’s cringeworthy.”

Totally agree.

ClemDanFango · 29/11/2019 20:10

Oh FSS I give up. Going to bed.

iklboo · 29/11/2019 20:11

A twunt is a portmanteau of twat and cunt. Usually used my people too soft genteel to use either of the proper ones.

Spaffbadgers they are Grin

Patroclus · 29/11/2019 20:12

Yes. It gets right on my nerves

retiredand · 29/11/2019 20:16

I hate "sets my teeth on edge" to whoever said that. What does that even mean?

Hate cockwomble etc. But I do say goodness, and gee whizz in real life without meaning to

AnotherDFSsale · 29/11/2019 20:20

Sets my teeth on edge.

Boils my piss.

Makes my teeth itch.

Grinds my gears.

Never heard these in real life; ever. Normal people would just say “it fucks me off”

HaileySherman · 29/11/2019 20:22

I can't be the only one who now has this marked to check out all the awesome new insults, lol

SuperMeerkat · 29/11/2019 20:27

I like knob cheese as an insult but as I use it in real life I think i’m Ok.

Mlou32 · 29/11/2019 20:29

Yep, totally cringey.

PicsInRed · 29/11/2019 20:32

Oh, stop, you're all killing me. 😄😂🤣

Yes, I'm taking notes. 🤔

SlightlyStaleCocoPops · 29/11/2019 20:39

We can we also get rid of "fuck off to the far side of fuck and when you get there fuck off some more"?

A simple "fuck off" will do.

sammybins · 29/11/2019 20:47

I vote we keep using 'bellend'.

DaphneFanshaw · 29/11/2019 20:53

Smeg plant pot

Jodie77 · 29/11/2019 21:13

Bellend is a perfect descriptive. Even better with 'fucking' in front of it for emphasis.

Bluerussian · 29/11/2019 21:16

These words are quite mingeworthy, frankly.

LaPufalina · 29/11/2019 21:23

Pube-doorbell made me cry helplessly and my DH got up and walked across the room to see what had rendered me temporarily helpless.

I always hear it in a sort of Downton Abbey dowager sort of voice, with the stress on the do.

I quite like wankbadger it has a Dr Frank n Furter sort of flourish.
