Can we have a Wanker's Corner?

Hello.

It's been noted in the past that there are some pretentious wankers amongst us who like to discuss some general subjects (eg.Porn, Religion) in a fairly, erm.. academic manner, and that this sometimes seems to intimidate and/or infuriate other posters.

There doesn't seem to be an easy solution to this problem: there's no doubt that people really do feel intimidated and that it might prevent them from posting on a subject that concerns them. It also must feel hijack-y at times.

At the same time, it's hard for the Wanker's to be told that they mustn't post anything that might intimidate.

Would it be possible to have a special place, with very hard chairs to keep us awake, that we may call our own?

you understand only
not you only understand

If you can stroke your chin knowingly ipanema it will help

the wankers understand only 20pc of what they talk about anyway

the rest is blither

"Sweeney, you'll need the glasses, natch.

As will we all."

I am beginning to think we'll need the boilersuits.

stuffit - I feel 20% is a bit optimistic. A wanker in conscienceless. He feels compelled to bang on even though he knows he should stop.

onebatmother · 25/06/2008 15:58

lol all of you.
Bit distracted by real life wankers at the mo, sorry..

I also thought this was you, OBM, but only because of the recent Can I Be A Wanker thread or whatever, it was after the how do we pay for what's eaten apple biting thieving baby fiasco.

I don't think you need your own corner, I agree with Boco, it will give rise to people saying, 'be off to the wanker corner' whereas you have every right to blither and pop wankerish comments into threads the same as the rest of mnet blitherers.

Hurray for wankers and blithers.

Swedes · 25/06/2008 16:46

OBM - I tell you what. A week may be a long time in politics but a fortnight is a lifetime for the word wanker.

stuffitllama · 25/06/2008 17:16

lol guad hurray indeed

people will be showing off that they are lurking with the wankers

"sorry to post and run but am ringside at a bluff onanistic exchange on semantics"

Someone just used the word wanker to me in real life and I was so pleased. It felt cosy and intimate, just like my nice MN friends.

She wasn't calling me a wanker, you understand. She was referring to a third party.

Threadwormm · 25/06/2008 18:21

It was unexpected as I don't know her all that well. Seemed a nice piece of bonding.

UnquietDad · 25/06/2008 18:32

I am genuinely disturbed that this thread took a diversion into bukkake. And no, I agree, DON'T google it.

midnightexpress · 25/06/2008 18:37

Well then someone will have to explain.

Go on.

Swedes · 25/06/2008 18:49

I have to confess I like the word wanker. On another thread FioFio said she called her children dirty little wankers (in place of mucky pup)- I keep chuckling about it. Interestingly, I loathe the word norks.

Swedes · 25/06/2008 18:50

Yes please explain or I will have to go and google it on DP's work laptop.

pointydog · 25/06/2008 19:04

A wanker's corner would be a lonely place.

How about The Wankuary to rival the sanctuary?

onebatmother · 25/06/2008 19:10

Oh bukkake is something that I deeply regret.

for those who don't know it's a japanese word for a fetish which involves what big cook did to little cook.

I'm v v sorry.

Getting kids to bed but I am thinking about things from the non-wankers perspective.

I would genuinely appreciate the Towers view, also.

how cryptic. Did he hit him with a large spoon? On eth buttocks?

policywonk · 25/06/2008 19:15

pointy - see By Boco on Wed 25-Jun-08 11:38:45

Threadwormm · 25/06/2008 19:16

Boco's Illustration of bukkake.

pointydog · 25/06/2008 19:20

that is terrible

policywonk · 25/06/2008 19:23

It is an interpretation that had honestly not occurred to me before. I don't think my mind is filthy enough for the Seminar Room. I will hang around in the student bar keeping the seats warm and stacking up choices on the juke box.

Threadwormm · 25/06/2008 19:25

I'd never seen BCLC at all before that clip. Are you sure it isn't a Fast Show parody of children's TV?

onebatmother · 25/06/2008 19:27

Yes, the Wankuary is much cozier.

Threadwormm - you are just about to tell me that you don't have a TV, aren't you?

OP posts:
Threadwormm · 25/06/2008 19:29

No, no. I have TV. I'm not that much of a wanker.

Guadalupe · 25/06/2008 19:31

I can't hear it, what is he saying and what's that on his glasses?
