'the word that will not be mentioned' isn't even a serious enough word for my friends and I to use on each other, here. I mean, I may be biased as a common greeting among us is " 'sup, b.tch?"

But seriously. I had a Brit (anyone remember Indio?) call me a 'smeghead' on the forums once. I had to ask him what it meant :lol:

I just don't take insults on the internet seriously. I got far more pissed off the other day when someone called me 'big guy' (it's so bloody patronising) than if someone were to call me a f'ing c. or something of the like.

All of you, chill out. Seriously.

(and someone explain to me why 'the word that will not be mentioned' is so offensive. I know what it means)

Smeghead is a made up word, made by a british sitcom in order so they could swear in ti but not put still put it on at prime time.

Maybe its just where i'm from. Considering someone got killed here the other day for wearing a sunderland football shirt. People are in general nice where i live, so if someone takes enough effort in oreder insult you nobody takes it kindly.

Maybe I'm just a stupid American, but isn't this a bit contradictory?

:D Was that me, West? I remember saying that to someone recently but I can't remember who? Is that also offensive in some way I don't know about yet? Oh, right, patronizing. Like you never are!!!

Let's move back on topic shall we?

Topics are made to be digressed from. But that really puts the CD out of business, wouldn't it?

There only not nice if your unkind to them. I'll tell you the way he got killed if you want, *but you have to ask privately* So if you ever need to know why I take such offense to people like nitfyre just think of where I come from and put two and two together!

That's insane, Cookie Monster. For wearing a shirt?

If that happened where I live I would move far away.

Soccer hooliganery (sp?) is something that I have never understood. I can't for the life of me understand why some people would kill a person for being a fan of another team...

That's exactly what I found insulting. Nitefyre's comments more than the word.

To be fair, the word is quite offensive and it isn't commonly used. Now lets forget this incident and move on, shall we?

It won't go away if you keep bringing it back up.

If you look closely, it wasn't edited out once. At least I think it's the same word.
