Word titles

Due to the recent misunderstanding it has become fairly important that we establish some sort of a compatibility for titles..

whether you agree that a certain title is representative of you or not is not the goal of this thread, titles are an important tools to use in text based communication.

yes we do have pricks, denying that is wrong, but the definition of the word is somewhat hazy, i refuse to acknowledge that its nearly as bad as some would indicate, but i do know that continuing the use of it when it has undesirable effects is stupid.

so the purpose of this thread.. i want to begin a database that will be compatible from both sides of the pond..

if you do not want to participate, that cool beaners, but don't try to misdirect this thread in such a way as to lessen its value to the pit.

if you don't wanna add to the thread in a constructive way, don't post, but if you do not post, you will have very little grounds to complain later when you are called a prick and failed to provide an alternative you can deal with instead.

titles exist, deal with them... and by all means don't be a prick :biggrin:

[edit] there are far more words here than you may realize.. i am assuming that the word "arse" does not refer to the opening of the rectum..

5 hours huh?

so be it, you will just get stuck with whatever title i choose.. and damned well settle for the definition i state :/

I'm not sure I understand what you're takling about here.

Was it discussed in another thread?

Im Confused :biggrin:

nah, it was a discussion to avoid misunderstandings.. a topic no one seems interested in, at least not until they are center stage..

the topic originated with the word "prick" ( but by no means is the sole issue or instance )

i used the word prick, i meant it one way, it was taken another, but i clarified my mistake, but the definition was not good enuff, and dismissed out of hand..

i can accept that local customs sometimes alter word definitions, what i cannot accept is when someone denies its a viable solution..

the definition was given, the very next sentence should have been "Oh sorry.. my bad, but over here its...(incert local definition here)"

i want to avoid the next occurrence, for anyone by creating an understanding in advance..

IMO the only thing worse than someone acting like an asshole, is denying you are.. but it would be nice to know for sure that if you are acting the part, it does not have another more preferable word..

anyways.. if no one wants to contribute, tis absolutely A OK.. but don't you dare get offended because you were ignorant later.

Careful Jon, remember what happend last time you said that word

How about we not. I for one have a problem with you and other people using words like 'prick' in an attack on someone, it's the context you use it in Orph like I've said 3 times already, and couldn't care less if you were 'messing around' and called me an asswipe like you also sometimes do :razz:

Anyway, you might notice in all of this I haven't resorted to calling you names, despite getting severely on my nerves.

1) your context lacks a definition still.. you have yet to clarify how it is offensive, or as offensive as you are claiming it is.. by far asshole is worse.. and in all seriousness so is twat.

2) lets not keep Tally on how many times we get on each others nerves, cause i lost count well over 100 :heee:

3) lets not, is perfectly fine with me, but i have absolutely no intention of not telling people exactly how i feel they are acting at any given moment, if the situation calls for it.

4) i hate using a numerical system for separate ideas, i think i will use the alphabet next time.

in all seriousness, if we of the pit got along to well.. it would not be a great site that it is..

for the record though, although the word prick was the catalyst for this topic, it was by no means a segregation attempt.. if i could have recalled some of jeffery's, or mikee's words he screwed up i would have used one of those..

Calling someone a "Moron" can be a grave insult - if the word is meant literally with intent to wound, whereas "Motherf**ker" (an emotive word if ever there was one) wouldn't necessarily offend if it was used by one friend to another. It depends entirely on the context.

There can't be many vulgar or offensive terms which aren't understood by most people in the English speaking world, just a few perhaps where there are slightly different shades of meaning - "prick" in the sense "pain in the arse" is a new one on me, I confess, but perfectly logical. In Britain, "bollocks" is a vulgar word for testicles first and foremost but is used in other ways to convey different ideas - One can "talk bollocks" (i.e. rubbish), "drop a bollock" or "make a complete bollocks of" (make a mistake) etc. In America, though, (correct me if I'm wrong) "bollix" isn't considered a vulgarity and is used more or less exclusively to mean break or botch - the original meaning forgotten or not generally known.

Anyway, you shouldn't be calling names. You bunch of Tossers.

I've never heard that before. are you sure it has a meaning in the US?

As for "prick" you've gotten me very curious. What does it mean if not "pain in the ass", or "arogant"?

Prick = Penis

In some cases it implys having a small penis too.

is this all of the UK Dave, or just Ireland?

and TB more/less got the gist of it IMO as far as how Arkansas views the word.. annoying,troublesome, pain in the butt..

arrogant, is stretching it a bit, although most people who are pricks are arrogant too :/

Definately all of the UK at least...though we don't exactly go around referring to our genitalia as our prick on a daily basis :biggrin:

if someone around here were to say, i have a big prick, we would all know it is his penis..

but the word is seldom used in the context to be as you are saying.. we would prolly say "dick head" or "dildo" or something along those lines..

but enuff of the prick, what are some other juicy tid-bit phrases?

What do you brits consider to be the most offenseive insult possible?

Maybe that's not such a fair question since I can't think of any particular one for the US, but anyway...?

Calling someone Welsh/Irish? :razz:

I say it's calling somene a c**t. I hate that word. It just sounds so...wrong.

It also makes that area on a woman not sound very good ... when in all actuality it is :smile:

Anyway, a lot of people use combinations (around where I live)... like assclown.

in my case, its "liar"

for my wife its "bitch"

I think "c**t" takes rank of higher insult then "bitch"

Sometimes, I call people a "Windows users".
However, in the context I use it in, it's funny.

Some of the more insulting ones are calling someone "Jewish", and it's not really insulting to the person, but anyone who is jewish.

bitchass liarc**t!

Thanks crono, I have my new hobby. :biggrin:

Oh and lep?

edit: Changed to a link, nobody else needs to be subjected to it, I'm sorry it came to that. :smile:

"Windows User" is much more insulting

and, A_S, STOP THAT! smack

I'll remove it once I get a confirmed seizure... Jon? :biggrin:

I don't really find any words offensive if used in jest, I've been desensitized by the internet and its population of twelve year olds with tourettes.

Bounder.

... Jon?

i lasted almost 10 seconds.. that truly was painful dave..

my wife has no real issues with c**t crono.. actually its not a common word around here.. but bitch.. now thats tip top fightin words for her.. the only word i am actually forbidden to use..

f**k is a close second in her opinion.

Sorry bud!

I say bitch all the time... maybe that's why she didn't return my calls. runs :biggrin:

A bounder is 'An ill-bred, unscrupulous man' to save anyone else looking it up. :smile:

and, what is a tosser?

bounder sounds a lot like a hill billy..

To Toss is to Masturbate. Same thing as a Wanker.

My mates and I once spent an entire evening coming up with creative combinations of words for use as insults...pity I can barely remember any of them now :biggrin:

A few on the fly...

c**k fuhrer
Arse pirate
Sack weasel
Ass carpenter

Up here in Canada we refer to it as "Pulling the goalie".

Well, at least I and my friends do.

we call it chicken choker

more are:

dweeb=nerd
delbert=dummy,stupid,retard
red neck=trouble maker,instigator
arkansan=inbred
head cheese=... this is usually associated with penis drizzle.

Have a look through the profanisaurus. Some of them are very funny.

I guess from me, the most insulting thing someone has ever called me is "arrogant" but that's because I am. :biggrin:

There is no absolute worst insult. The most offensive thing you ever hear could come from somebody who wasn't even trying to offend you. If I had spent ages painting (not that I paint) some portrait, and my friend came along and said (while not joking around) 'hey that looks good, what is it?', I would probably be more offended than if they came over and shouted some abuse at me.
If a lecturer that I respect said that I was lazy, this would upset me more than if some idiot I never saw before in my life said I was 'wearing a f**king stupid c**t of a hat'.

To me, the worst insults are ones that go against my own personal view of myself, and come from somebody who actually knows me, as this would have a lot of meaning. 'swear words' no longer have any real meaning or significance since every other 8-year-old started using them.

"c**t of a hat" ?

But, you're right, however, I thought the thread was about offensive words as in the words themselves are offensive, and not nessesarily where they came from.

However, I'm sure as much as it would upset you for an instructor to call you lazy, it would upset you more if they called you a f**king idiot. (not saying that's the case)

No need to tip toe around me! I'm not gonna break out into a flamewar if you set me as an idiot in a completely hypothetical situation! :smile:

But seriously, it wouldn't upset me more. I don't know one person who would say 'f**king idiot' and mean it as a serious insult. That is what I expect to be called if I get into uni and tell my friend that I forgot my calculator :smile:

I meant from the instructor ... in front of the class ... and then ... flying monkeys come in and steal your wallet ...

I think that would be more embarresing than offensive :smile:

Bastard monkeys.

It's like Wizard of Oz flying monkeys...but from "tha hood".

what about flying zombie monkeys? ... that steal wallets and eat brains ... full of potassium.

They're the bastard monkey's rivals you know. :razz:

Your allocation of zombified objects is going to run dry soon :biggrin:

So what does "sod" mean? is it the same as "drunk" or "wino" or "lush"

Nonsense.

It's a mild term of abuse, now, but not always. It's an abbreviation of "sodomite" - similar to "bugger"

"Wino" = "Sot"

raises hand

if the situation warranted it, thats one of my favored lines..

usually its I-dot though.. its a cross between idiot, and a person so stupid they cannot even dot their own I's when writing :/

Well "sod" is probably a reference to "sodomy" (the act of anal sex), though at least in Britain calling somebody a sod normally has absolutely no bearing on this (its normally used on somebody who is unlucky - "the poor sod").

probably the worstest insult you could use 'round my neck of the woods would be prick. or cow, if you were insulting a female.

Prick or cow the WORST? Wow, I guess calling a girl a cow could be insulting, but somebody calling me a prick is normally coz they've done something mildly annoying, so rather than insulting its more "fair enough, I was really wasn't I" :biggrin:
