inquiry:

how does this differ from prick?

before you be a smart ass, i am asking a serious question.

In England it's a slang term for a vagina.

In this context it means much the same thing as prick though, but less severe. [addsig]

I would class them as equal in severity personally...but both are normally used on people in jest from my experience. [addsig]

It's basically c**t-lite, i.e. the type you can call your friends for a laugh. [addsig]

ok, let me clarify, cause all of you missed my point..

1) prick can mean dick/penis... but i used it as prick=annoyance/thorn which is another valid definition.

2) lep got mad cause of term prick.

3) twat can mean vagina, but in this case i am unsure as to leps terminology, so i put ours, which is puss or sissy.

4) should dave get as mad at lep, as lep got at me? and should we retract leps admin privileges for such?

hence.... my inquiry..

Well I just said that twat was less severe than prick so that nullifies point number 4.

Duncan, if you were pissed of at someone you'd be likely to call them a prick but not a twat, at least in my experience. [addsig]

Hmm, I don't know if I would, I'd be more likely to resort to far more inflammatory words But out of those, perhaps prick is slightly more insulting...but its a really close call.

Orph - Lep said it with a smiley, and it was obvious it was meant as a joke, so no [addsig]

hmmm, you guys should truly lose the penis portion of your comparison..

1) the penis is only annoying to a lesbian so its not a good analogy.

2) think about exactly why you called that someone a prick... what were they doing, and what emotion did they provoke.. in most cases its extreme annoyance, i have yet to call someone a prick, and a penis be the desired mental image

3) twat is a mild insult, but definitely a stronger one than prick... as it insults your manliness, where prick only reminds you that you are being annoying and should really consider growing up in many cases.

4) polls about cusswords are useless, as with this example.. there are to many conflicting definitions..

5) a dictionary of sorts would be preferable.. that way when i use prick you don't look stupid by getting mad, or i will know that its not a preferable word to use to a Brit and i avoid looking stupid.

Orph, the 'strength' of the word you use depends on personal opinions, and to be frank I don't really care about which person finds what words offensive. The point is the context you use it in; when you have called me a prick in the past it was in an attack on me, quite unlike my use of a similar word with A_S as you can see he had not annoyed me and it was out of jest. Anyway site bugs/suggestions please, if you want to carry this on start a new topic or I'll just delete replys.

tis exactly why you keep screwing it up.. its the user, not the recipients opinion as to how the word was intended..but its funny, you don't care if it involves you.. but be that as it may.. point taken this is a suggestion thread.. suggestions for the site, not your ability to differentiate, which i suppose would be a waste of all our time..

If A_S has a problem with me using a word in jest to him then he can complain to me himself, he doesn't need you to do it for me. The point was Orph that you've used such words in an attack on me and my integrity in the past, which is an entirely different thing.

I have a suggestion for people giving suggestions.

Wouldn't it be easier (for Lep) to make changes if people took some effort and gave an algorithm for something that they'd want to see on the site?

And I don't mean for simple stuff like "stop skipping white space" and junk. I mean like if someone wants a new feature added in. (I think Jeff in the GM thread asked if you could make it detect st and nd and rd when using numbers and changing their size.) something like that, it would be pretty simple to make this stuff happen if they wrote some sort of processing algorithm for the functionality.

And algorithms are rather easy to write as well. They requrie only the knowledge of computer logic (if, else, and, or, so on). And if need be there's an abundant amount of resources online. Also, writing these algorithms takes no prior knowledge of the actual code in the site. Hell, you can work psuedo code into the algorithm (you can use standards like PDL, which is just plain english on what should happen and where).

Its just a thought. [addsig]

OK then, before a post is echo'd on forums.php:

$post_body = str_replace ('1^st','1<sup>st</sup>',$post_body);

etc. I'm sure Lep is very good at all this stuff by now though? I would imagine a possible implementation of most suggestions jumps into his head as soon as he reads it.

They jump into mine as well ... php isn't the most complicated thing

But, I wasn't singling you out, just using you as an example.
My suggestion is really for more complex things, then string replacements. [addsig]
