Certain words are NOT acceptable on the forum, cunt and fuck are prime examples


This has led to the creation of alternative 'Bad Words' and it's a joy to behold


'Twunt' is new to the list


C-nut


Fooker


All these add spice when used with a light hand. With that in mind, I'd like to compile a compendium of alternatives , to be used creatively in the rough and tumble of the Forum.


However, I'm not advocating the use (however creative) of nasty, sexist, racist words, or any other ists and isms for that matter.


Please feel free to add one or two of your own to the list.


Thank you

Seeing as blow-in has been banned, I've found myself struggling to describe some members of our community based on their social class or food/shop preferences, with a single word or phrase. I often now say "Guardianista", or "look at me" to refer to this sub section of people lurking around ED.

I concede that one to you red devil it was indeed you who gifted me this new and exciting phrase. Despite the ban on blow-in, I managed to adapt "look at me" and so far it's worked relatively OK. Although I fear it's time over, and potentially could be added to the EDF bin of offence.

Hmm. As a true liberal I always get annoyed when people misuse the term to mean 'illiberal lefty'. I blame the Americans.


Anyway, 'twunt' isn't a new creation. It's been around for at least a couple of decades.

    • But all those examples sell a wide variety of things,  and mostly they are well spread out along Lordship Lane. These two shops both sell one very specific thing, albeit in different flavours, and are just across the road from each other. I don't think you can compare the distribution of shops in Roman times to the distribution of shops in Lordship Lane in the twenty first century. Well, you can, but it doesn't feel very appropriate. Haa anybody asked the first shop how they feel? Are they happy about the "healthy competition" ?
    • ED is included in the 17 August closure set (or just possibly 15 August, depending on which part of the page you trust more) listed at https://metro.co.uk/2025/07/25/full-list-25-poundland-stores-confirmed-close-august-23753048/. Here incidentally are some snippets from their annual reports, at https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/02495645/filing-history. 2022: " during the period we opened 41 stores and closed 43 loss-making/under-performing stores.  At the period-end we were trading from 821 stores in the UK, IoM and ROI. ... "We renogotiated 82 leases in the year, saving on average 45% versus the prior lease agreement..." 2023: "We also continued to improve our market footprint through sourcing better store locations, opening 53 and closing 51 stores during the year." 2024:  "The ex-Wilco stores acquired in the prior year have formed a core part of this strategy to expand our store network.  We favour quality over quantity and during the period we opened 84 stores and closed 71 loss-making/under-performing ones."
    • Ha! After I posted this, I thought of lots more examples. Screwfix and the hardware store? Mrs Robinson and Jumping Bean? Chemists, plant shops, hairdressers...  the list goes on... it's good to have healthy competition  Ooooh! Two cheese shops
