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?

Is mine alright ? Wouldn't want to offend you !

hairyfishypissflaps · 11/05/2017 12:20

What can I say - longtime Viz reader. Corrupted for all time now.

SDTGisAnEvilWolefGenius · 11/05/2017 12:20

@SnackJack - yes, you are being very unreasonable - though kudos for posting an AIBU thread where the answers are almost unanimous.

On a more serious point - some people choose sweary nicknames in the hopes that this will stop the Daily Mail from printing their comments, when one of their lazy journalists mines MN for yet another article.

Finally - if you want a gentler, less sweary site, can I suggest Netmums. Not only do you have to use your name as your username (so no crude nicknames), but they also have a swear filter, so you can't use any bad language.

Personally, the crude usernames don't bother me - I look at what people say - the support, care, information, advice, intelligent debate and humour that makes up so much of MN. And I rejoice in the fact that my 23-year-old petrol head son can't use sweary words on his favourite petrol head website whilst I can, on a forum full of mums!

MyheartbelongstoG Did you ever confront that batshit 'friend' ?

Lalalallama · 11/05/2017 12:21

Wasnt there a deliberate spate of daily fail cunty ones?

ExConstance · 11/05/2017 12:21

She was banned at one time, maybe it was cleared out then?

MusicToMyEars800 · 11/05/2017 12:22

might change mine to cunt flaps Grin what do you all think?

SurlyValentine · 11/05/2017 12:23

PoorYorick FuckYouChrisAndThatHorse came from a thread where the OP had bought a house with a field, but the field had a horsey tenant (or maybe more than one, I can't remember) and the horse's owner was, I think, using OP's outbuildings to store stuff without asking. OP had an almightly fight to get them to fuck off once and for all. Think it was a two-threader in the end. It's hilarious, it's in Classics and definitely worth a read if you've got a spare hour.

Mulberry72 · 11/05/2017 12:24

KingJoffreysRestingCuntFace is my favourite! Grin

chocatoo · 11/05/2017 12:26

I think some are funny and clever but a few are a bit crude for my delicate taste...takes all sorts I guess

ShutTheFuckUp · 11/05/2017 12:27

I concur...

SurlyValentine · 11/05/2017 12:27

MusicToMyEars800 Go for it Grin

If you are indeed in need of a new username, I hereby present to you this precious tome of indelicacy. Use it wisely, my friend!

PoorYorick · 11/05/2017 12:30

Thank you Surly!

If AnyFucker was banned (I think I've heard that before), how come she's still here? Given the number of thread deletions due to OPs being PBPs...

I'm glad she's here, don't get me wrong, just don't understand it.

ThumbWitchesAbroad · 11/05/2017 12:31

Highly tickled that someone (or more, it's hard to tell) who hasn't the wit to think of a new username instead of continuing with the generic numbered version they were supplied with sees fit to take issue with other posters' names!! Grin

I know it's a zombie thread, but meh - it always brings out the hoity toities, which is good to know.

elephantscansing · 11/05/2017 12:32

I think it's highly unbecoming behaviour for women.
I can't believe that these are women that have chosen these names.

What, so it would be OK for men? Women are allowed to be crude too, you know. Think you need to look at your ideas of gender equality...

PS I like funny names. And crude ones.

PoorYorick · 11/05/2017 12:34

elephant, check out the username of that poster.

OhSoggyBiscuit · 11/05/2017 12:38

I feel like I chose a very tame name compared to everybody else's.

AliceByTheMoon · 11/05/2017 12:40

Try OhSoggyBumBiscuit.

... I'm not very good at this.....

HeyHoThereYouGo657 · 11/05/2017 12:41

As a lurker I have seen posts in the past from a "bumsexatthebingo" , this name intrigues me and would love to know its origin .

HeyHoThereYouGo657 · 11/05/2017 12:42

Not its origin , for gods sake

The why's , that is all I want to know . >> goes off to change name

hairyfishypissflaps · 11/05/2017 12:43

OhSoggyBiscuit

Take heart. Just put "Belgian" in front of "biscuit" and you're sorted!

I refer you to Roger's Profanisaurus if you want to know that that means Wink.

PickAChew · 11/05/2017 12:43

AnyFucker is the sort of gimmicky username that will never last:o

Ginslinger · 11/05/2017 12:47

I am so shocked that someone here is called AnyFucker Grin

ExConstance · 11/05/2017 12:49

she was banned but apologised and then was allowed back.
