Name calling on the forum

[Alan Dale]

Jim the Chin called me Richard Littlejohn so I called him Jeremy Clarkson.

Anyone got any other good euphemisms for calling someone a c*nt on the forum?

[Brendan]

Could just go down the rhyming slang route and call someone James Blunt.

[jim_the_chin]

my 'richard littlejohn' comment wasn't calling you a cnut alan, it was meant to point out that your statement was a 'why-oh-why' generalisation about the bbc, as you would see in any right wing publication.

if you're calling me a cnut in return i would ask that you edit your post please.

[SeanMacGabhann]

I thought the Littlejohn jibe was light-hearted (and obviously wrong)

Calling someone Clarkson - that was more of a reaction I thought

But I thought it was all banter and don't think either of you actually meant it in a derogatory way so come on, shake hands and let's be done with it

Hold the phone! I am the victim here.

You started the name calling and at least 99% of forumites think Littlejohn is a cnut.

I am calling you Jeremy Clarkson. Whilst he is a bit of cnut, he's not as bad as Littlejohn so I think that you got off lightly.

[Mark]

King Cnut (commonly and mistakenly spelled Canute) had a son, his name was Hardacnut. Good names for Viking kings if you ask me.

God you lot are happy bunnies today aren't you - what with this and favourite funeral songs ;-)

I'm off to the pub.....

[TillieTrotter]

Thats the spirit Georgia, when you get back you can start a "Whats the best song to sing when youre pissed":)-D

Really loud Lambchop!!

[dulwichmum]

Is that a name you call people Mockney?

[SeanMacGabhann]

now now DulwichMum, Lambchop are (as you well KNOW) a band (slash collective) from America who do the most wonderful music. Some of it laid back some of it soulful and uplifting

have a listen

Up With People

[Brendan]

Yeah. They?re headed up by a lovable little lamb sock-puppet.

[wee quinnie]

Well, in the space of 24 hours on the famous people in ED thread, "Wee Quinnie" was pretty much called a... foo foo - AND also wee wee.

[SeanMacGabhann]

and I've been called worse wee quinnie - forums are like that unfortunately. It;s one of the reasons I always try to attend drink ups - when people know each other face to face the ability to hide behind an anonymous identity and call names is removed

Of course the other reason I go is the beer ;-)

Then again - if someone did call me Richard Littljohn..... I may not be so magnanimous

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

Is Alan Dale and Littlejohn in the same thread a coincidence or have I stepped into olde Nottingham??

[Asset]

of course I am Robin hood - love my green tights

[citizenED]

Sean - but if someone called you Little Richard John - you might be more forgiving. Politeness, good manners, general jollies all round, shouldn't that be the order of the day for the grown ups on the forum? Basically I'd say if you are tempted to call a specific person a c**t, go and have a cup of tea, or a G & T and don't bother posting.

Sometimes playful tongue-in-cheekedness is also lost in the written word.

[Asset]

no

[SeanMacGabhann]

and sometimes it isn't...

[Alan Dale]

'Politeness, good manners, general jollies all round, shouldn't that be the order of the day for the grown ups on the forum?'

Boring.

[wee quinnie]

I didn't mean literally "foo foo". (Shades of Fr Ted, "The bad word...worse than feck.") I meant the C word! Apologies if you realised that.

[citizenED]

Alan, that's only for the "grown-ups" on the Forum, - most of us are like those South Park rascals, you snigger b******d son of Littlejohn and Clarkson snigger

[Jah Lush]

I was called a "silly man" by Louisa in her thread about "mad Lizzy" which I thought was rather uncalled for but then I suppose she's not far wrong as I do have a penchant for silliness. Sometimes I just can't help myself.

[Brendan]

I like Louisa, she's always calling people names.
