Things you'd like to say, but can't

[Salty seadog]

Well, you are the only one married to me.



Lu is talking about work btw.

Is it really such a work up being married to you?

 

[ADarkDraconis]

To the new-ish lady working at our office upstairs...

Dear R,
Stop being a f***ing racist!!!!!!!!!!!!!



I should probably think of a way to say this to her with a little more tact than I envision in my head (and less smacking).

Makes you wonder how you can know the people/person are/is a troll though?

Although as though you know the troll in question.

Stop using "The Feds" to refer to local bobbies! It's such a gross misunderstanding of the meaning of the word. Countries made of a federation of states use "federal" to denote things that are national, not just in an individual state. For example Australian Federal Police, FBI or Bundespolizei. You could reasonably use it to describe the National Crime Authority, the BTP or - at a pinch - MI5. But you shouldn't use it to describe GMP or the Met (for two examples)

You farking moron.

Edit: so we aren't allowed to use personal insults on this site, and moron - though once a medical term - is now only an insult. But it's not censored.

Moron.

The term is not used in medicine.

 

[jefmcg]

THE TERM IS NOT USED ANYWHERE.

THE TERM IS NOT USED ANYWHERE.

I don't know, I'm sure many on this forum mutter it when reading certain posts.

I was reading about 'idiots', 'imbeciles' and 'morons' the other day ... I didn't realise that in the past the terms were supposed to correspond to effective mental age ranges/IQs.

Fortunately the medical profession is a bit more caring these days and has given up these old, derogatory terms. But I'm sure members can think of other members who might fit into those categories in their opinions.

Late 90's, not that long ago really.

I agree - everyone knows that 5-0 is a much better name for the forces of law and order.

Except in Manchester where they're known as 'Dibble', or were last time I was there.
