Well anyone who thinks it’s appropriate to use that phrase is a wanker

suziewoozie Thu 14-Nov-19 15:56:42

The phrase was written down and the draft leaked - phrases like that shouldn’t even get that far. They are for behind the bike sheds whilst having a sneaky fag and giggling at rude pictures of bums and tits.

I am waiting in awe to here the Johnsonites justify the figures that have just come out for the NHS. I believe there has been some attempt to blame Labour! It's almost as if they weren't the last government although I can see why they want to disown the chaos they have created.

Well at least I learned a new word. A day without knowledge is a day lost...

suziewoozie Thu 14-Nov-19 16:49:42

Tooting as a general rule if I learn a new word, I try and use it as often as possible in the next few days to ‘embed’ it in my vocabulary . Not sure that would work with this one !

Whilst I accept some posters have no problem with ‘the f word’ there were no complaints on this forum when John
McDonald stood on stage in the O2 and called fellow labour
MP’s f*****g losers

Who was discussing the word fucking? Have you posted on the wrong thread annie?

Pantglas2 Thu 14-Nov-19 17:11:29

I think grapefruitpip introduced the F word on the first page suziewoozie.....

suziewoozie Thu 14-Nov-19 17:17:08

That’s true Pan but only as a response to GG’s horror at naughty words. Fucking is something Boris does a great deal of and fairly indiscriminately but as far as I know, has not proposed putting it in a speech yet. He has however used the alternative of get stuffed at a GLA meeting.

I think we should all be huking , onanisticly ,plankered, & pissed right of with BJ,& his very apt initials .

Whitewavemark2 Thu 14-Nov-19 17:32:48

annie I award you??
For the millionth time you’ve wangled either Corbyn’s or McDonnell’s name into a totally unconnected thread.

Anniebach Thu 14-Nov-19 17:34:55

This thread isn’t about offensive words ?

suziewoozie Thu 14-Nov-19 17:35:15

Careful WW , be very careful.

suziewoozie Thu 14-Nov-19 17:39:12

No annie it’s about your hero BJ and his proposed pathetic childish dirty minded back of the bike sheds use of a particular phrase as a political insult, haven’t you read it?

Gonegirl Thu 14-Nov-19 17:58:39

But you seem to find the word 'onanism' horrifically offensive.

Did you learn a lot at the "back of the bike sheds"?

Anniebach Thu 14-Nov-19 18:17:59

We didn’t hsve a bike shed at my schools but suziewooie obviously did and heard foul language.

suziewoozie Thu 14-Nov-19 18:27:00

It’s not the word itself ( although I would prefer if people used the word masturbation ). It’s the proposed use of it my our PM <sighs>

suziewoozie Thu 14-Nov-19 18:27:33

I wasn’t a boy and we didn’t have a bike shed

grapefruitpip Thu 14-Nov-19 18:29:09

I most certainly did not introduce the f word. I was on the receiving end of it.

Pantglas2 Thu 14-Nov-19 19:37:31

I simply referred to the first mention of the F word on this thread which was yours grapefruitpip on 13 November at 11:47 as suziewoozie couldn’t understand why Anniebach had brought it up. There may be other instances of its use that I’ve missed on subsequent pages.

You could not make this up: @BorisJohnson requesting EU assistance for UK flooding. Either he wants to be in the EU or he doesn't but this two-faced approach is becoming a joke...
Who’s a tosser?

I live in a parallel universe! That this word was scripted as an insult to be delivered by the PM to another politician is abhorrent to me. Just shows what goes on in the script writer's mind. I wonder who vetoed it.

Ginny42 Thu 14-Nov-19 20:02:00

Has he blamed the EU for causing the flooding yet?

grapefruitpip Thu 14-Nov-19 20:03:24

For you reference it was on the Mogg thread where I was told to f off. It is now deleted. What is not deleted is another poster praising so called " feisty remark"

Gonegirl Thu 14-Nov-19 20:06:19

Oh is that the thread it was on? Couldn't remember myself. ?
