TigerLilly suggested this one after GypsySoul thought she deserved an Iron Bladder Award, or some such, for superhuman endurance as reported in the Bathroom Break topic. So nominate your pals for silly awards here. Silly but kind awards...

For putting up with all the insanity in the Tapers Section.....

I wonder what would have happened at the old dead.net with no mods??!!!!!

The Tapers Section was the only thing we had there.....And with Free-Form topics, it would have been a train wreck...Ahhh, the Wild West...

Kudos Ladies....

use of the F word

avatar

to help Tigerlilly in her dilemma I can reveal the following

The owners of this website have assumed complete control over the f word (and its derivatives) on this site and for unexplained and frankly suspicious reasons have delegated its exclusive use to izzie

They are however amenable to non commercial trading, so if you are desperate to use the naughty expletive you have to persuade izzie to leave it out of one of her posts!

Fortunately the lawyers who designed this arrangement inadvertently overlooked the popular Irish term 'Feck' which is entirely free for use whenever and wherever you like, and, according to Wikipedia ' is syntactically interchangeable with fuck, though it has no sexual connotations'

oooops

PS

don't wanna ruin izzie's fun

thus "feck" is a good suggestion, cosmicbadger. Can it be used JUST like the other word, ie:fecking, etc?

expletive deleted

Indeed, the terms ‘feckin’’, ‘fecked’ and ‘fecker’ are all in use and can be used as an alternative to that other word, except there is not really a sexual connotation. The terms are quite commonly heard in Ireland and as they are a degree less offensive than the word with the ‘u’ instead of the ‘e’

For a real education in the use of feck, try to see the wonderful comedy show ‘Father Ted’, featuring three bizarre Irish priests ministering to the population of the remote Craggy Island. It showed in Channel 4 in the UK and I start laughing just thinking about it...the network seemed unconcerned about the amount of feckin' in the show.... but I do not know if it was exported

Any Irish correspondents out there to provide further illumination?

sorry for the diversion from the awards ....but hey..what the feck!

feck and shite

Don't forget shite. Ahh... Father Ted.

whoa, thanks for the pointer, badge!

grey, thanks for the kind words. And thanks, in general, to all youse guys.

Goes to Golden Road, for his masterpiece about his encounter with a creature of the night in the movie thread. Am totally in suspense about how this man vs. nature mini-drama will end. Hats off for great storytelling!!!!!!!!!!!!

I accept that award, thank you very much.

I couldn't get my brain around why folks were upset that Gans had edited the word Fuck out of his post! My choices were to give them many many fucks to contend with, or perhaps to start editing their posts for them, to include Fuck.
