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?

amusedbush Yes, definitely the one in Canada. I might be a bit obsessed.
I've had wittier usernames, but worried about making other MNers feel inferior Confused so decided to change to this one, factual, inoffensive - if a bit boring.

Oops wrong smiley. Was meant to be Wink

I don't get much of a chance to make anyone on MN feel inferior - I'm overweight, I own a toilet brush and I don't change my towels and bed sheets whenever someone farts near them. My username is all I have Grin

I think some on here have chosen really offensive names so that their posts can't be swiped by certain tabloid rags?

I met the very lovely ClungeBobSquarePants a good few years ago at a Mumsnet thingy in London and she turned out to be a very softly spoken and lovely librarian Shock

I remember her fondly and the name still makes me chuckle Grin

I like the name ANYFUCKER if it hadn't been taken I'd like to think I'd have come up with it

IloveBanff · 11/05/2017 13:49

amusedbush Shock Farts? Inside your home! Oh dear. I feel quite faint with a hint of queasy.

LoisWilkersonsLastNerve · 11/05/2017 13:52

AnyFucker is genius in its simplicity. It's a brilliant forum username.

BusterGonad · 11/05/2017 13:53

IloveBanff I have to agree as to why AnyFucker is so creative? Confused
Hairyfishypissflaps is revolting! Ha ha. It's always nice when you're replying to someone's comment and you have to include the word Cunt or some other crude word you don't normally use!

user1489179512 · 11/05/2017 14:05

I picture the people with the crude names being a bit corpulent. If you don't care about the impression your username conveys, you may not care about shape and slenderness.

Oblomov17 · 11/05/2017 14:05

Get lost OP, you twee numpty. Go and clutch some pearls.

AF's name is brilliant, in its simplicity.

I LOVE the crude names. The cruder the better. But then I'm not a prude.

user1489179512 · 11/05/2017 14:06

It is merely a theory of course.

user1489179512 · 11/05/2017 14:07

OP? Huh? Can't you actually read?

You're trying ever so hard on this thread, aren't you, User1783875745?

I'm quite enjoying usernumber frothing away.

BusterGonad · 11/05/2017 14:20

I don't know if my name is rude, but I'm 75 stone and bed bound so she/he might have a point! 😂

Oooh I'm so tempted to click on that link... I'll leave it though Smile

BusterGonad · 11/05/2017 14:29

You've got it wrong User I gorge on savory treats such as pastys, sausage rolls, Cheetos, Scotch eggs. I can give or take sweets and chocolate.

PoorYorick · 11/05/2017 14:34

user1489, there's currently a thread from someone claiming to be a weight loss expert after going fron 8st 12 to 8st 4. That's a much better attempt at weight- based trolling. You can't just jump into any old thread and start accusing people of being fat. We may be mostly women but it simply doesn't work like that. It is lazy. And the meme is so try hard, it's embarrassing and very very Reddit circa 2009.

You've got to try harder. Have you got any pictures of Frozen cake fails?

If you want to 'loose' weight, it has the answers apparently. Wink
