To think some usernames on here are overly crude?

I've seen some really crude names on here lately.
"AnyFucker" "BodybagMaggots" "sweatyarsecrack" etc

I can't believe that these are women that have chosen these names.

Am I the only one that thinks there is really no need to be so crude?

Yep..

Think it may only be you.

FAQinglovely · 16/02/2009 14:15

anyfucker has been around for ages - I don't really like "crude" names - but love hers

TrillianAstra · 16/02/2009 14:15

And the seasonal variations: anyfuckerfora...

Penthesileia · 16/02/2009 14:16

YABU. Does it really bother you? I have more pressing things to worry about.

And why should it make a difference if it is women who have chosen these names? Are women not entitled to be crude if so they choose?

diedandgonetodevon · 16/02/2009 14:17

anyfucker's username always makes me smile tbh

Penthesileia · 16/02/2009 14:17

Is there a little bit of irony there, FAQ, given your current namechange? Or am I mispronouncing it in my head?

IAteMakkaPakka · 16/02/2009 14:18

I just knew this would be about AnyFucker. It's particularly inspired, i think. If I wanted the company of conservative laydees sipping Earl Grey and comparing twinsets I'd have joined the WRI As it is I much prefer this hairy-handed bunch

How's your vampire man Snacks?? Somebody bumped your thread last night asking for an update.

KingCanuteIAm · 16/02/2009 14:18

I agree FAQ, I don't know why exactly but it always makes me smile

I am not sure I care enough that I would post a thread, I sometimes look at them and feel a bit in a "not something I would have chossen but each to their own" kind of way - but I don't think I would be thinking they may be trolls because "women couldn't have come up with that"

Wait for the deluge of rude names to come here now though

FAQinglovely · 16/02/2009 14:18
Wink
Pingping · 16/02/2009 14:19

Awwwwwwwww I love anyfucker name
YABU snackjack

Penthesileia · 16/02/2009 14:19

Oh, is this a wind-up?

I always fall for them...

FAQinglovely · 16/02/2009 14:19

actually I need to change it again as it was my Valentines name - and Valentines has been and gone (and was very nice ) - or maybe I should just hang onto it until the start of Lent and come up with an Easter name then...........

Penthesileia · 16/02/2009 14:20

FAQ -

ForeverOptimistic · 16/02/2009 14:21

I always feel a bit scared of them. The names remind me of the tough girls at schools who would make you hand over your dinner money otherwise you would get your head kicked in.

SnackJack · 16/02/2009 14:21

I have posted an update on my vampire

This wasn't a wind up, I just read a post by someone called sweaty arse crach and it almost made me bolk probably because I had an image of a big, fat sweaty bloke with a hairy arse in my head.

AnyFucker's been around for donks!

In fact, I know why she took that name and it always makes me smile .

But I'm crude like that.

ThreadieMair · 16/02/2009 14:24

Penthesileia , due to ignorance and terminal laziness I've never stopped to pronounce your name properly in my head. I've always just thought of you as 'Penis' for short.

Penthesileia · 16/02/2009 14:25

Being a little pessimistic there, Forever, no?

Penthesileia · 16/02/2009 14:26

Threadie! (great name, btw - I love the velvet tones of the man himself...):

PussyNoMore · 16/02/2009 14:27

I loved anyfuckerForAMincepie

Penthesileia · 16/02/2009 14:28

Oooooh - grey area now....

Is PussyNoMore rude, or not?????

MrsSeanBean · 16/02/2009 14:28

AnyFucker's name has to be one of the best. It transcends crudeness.
Only last week I commented on its endless versatility: AnyFuckerforaMincePie, AnyFuckerforaShiteSoppyCard etc...

Pan · 16/02/2009 14:28

SnackJack - you have a filthy mind.

Also, in some parts of the UK a 'snackjack is a euphemism for a blowjob...which itself is a euphemism for performing oral sex on a man. So....greenhouses and stones and all of that...and yes you are being very thin-skinned, and YABVU.

smudgethepuppydog · 16/02/2009 14:29

No the names on here don't really bother me. I'm hardly likely to walk up to AnyFucker in the street and greet her my sign in name. If I had to shout it across a crowded room I might blush a little which I guess is hypocritical of me but hey ho that's who I am.
