A coda for a filled thread

[theThreeofWeevils]

Bored with numismatism, sick of philately;
Those were my 'formerly ' - what of my 'latterly'?
I don't know the term, and I haven't the space,
Or much cash, or much time and I'm out of good grace,
But let's buy MANHOLE COVERS and ram them in place.

I think you mean personhole covers

Now then, vimts, no compelled speech, please. And is Personsplaining a thing, even?

@theThreeofWeevils personsplaining

😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁

Why has mine come out like a terrifying toothy grimace ? It was all smiling eyes and cheeky grin in my emoji selection.

Terrifying toothy grimaces are good, SirVix: overcome that female socialisation.

Those teeth could lift manhole covers in the way some people get tops off bottle with their knashers.

We don't want 'em lifted, though. 70mm+ of ductile iron muffles yap very satisfactorily. Anyway, it would be dangerous. Someone might fall in while gums were flapping in the breeze.

You have inspired me to poetry too! My favourite part, though it had some stiff competition, was the brave stand against the overly simplistic alive/dead binary, and the endorsement of the right to queer said binary via legal self-ID.

Ahem!

There once was a fella called Fred
On the spectrum twixt living and dead
Gravediggers were gassed
by his gut bugs, and aghast
Threw earth down on top of his head.

and also

There once was a woman from Crombie
whose gender identity was “zombie."
She ate a man’s brains
but it caused the judge pains
when she said “I’ve my death cert here on me.”

Listen, laddie, you'll need extreme unction
Should you interject one more conjunction.
We've told you what's whut
So don't come back with 'But..':
That's terminal correctile dysfunction.

For purposes of scansion please substitute 'fatal' for 'terminal'.
I claim no credit for Correctile Dysfunction as the clinical term for mansplaining: thank you, B for that one

I woke up all excited thinking we were going to get an answer but alas no. Poetry helps.

I think Bernard needs some kind of lifetime achievement award

I hope she’s enjoying a lie in this morning.

Correctile dysfunction is my phrase of the year.

Oh @lonel, so did I... the triumph of hope over experience. Is it too early for ?

She does 😀

Large delivery of fruity ice lollies to Bernard.

Well that made today worthwhile.

What sort of mad person porn spams the FWR board on Mumsnet? Talk about stony ground.

They porn-spammed the feminist chat
But Mumsnetters were not having that.
They said take your erection
In some other direction.
I thank you. Now, where’s me hat.

Someone who's spamming every board, I think. Tedious trollbotting.

A troll-bot addicted to porn
Grew increasingly mad and forlorn;
No one replied -
"Am I mute?!" the bot cried,
"Or where have the feminists gorn?"
