Clown balls? What the fuck do clown balls have to do with this?!?
There’s probably a connection between “petard” for bomb and the French “pet” for fart. I don’t if “peyo” is Spanish, but I can offer the Korean word “pongu,” showing a trend in many languages to use the plosive “p” consenant for its onomotopaeic value.
Also, I understand many Brits find Donald Trump’s name amusing when it appears in their newspapers.
What in the name of marklar are you marklars marklaring about?
bmerton, is that you???
:D:D:D
Hmmm, that bmerton seems to have made a lot of waves for somebody with only 12 posts. I happen to think he’s not a troll though, just young. He hasn’t been banned yet, and I hope he learns some Board etiquette before he does (that General Question about the McDonald’s “hot coffee” law suit seems to have angered a lot of people).
The OP was just a little potshot from this side of the Atlantic at the post by Shagnasty (obviously an American to judge by his name :D), who complained about the fact that people use the word “whilst” (a perfectly legitimate word used by the aforementioned Bard of all England, William Shakespeare). Things seem to have gone rapidly downhill after that though.

Jeez, did I ever fuckst off most of this day.
That one-two got big laugh!
London_Calling, a toast to your deadly swift wit, sir!
Yeah, I was just yankin’ ya there, aegypt (you should pardon the expression :D)
Perhaps it’s the Smurfs who are using “Smurf” in place of “fuck”.
As in: “Smurf you, you smurfing mothersmurfer!”
or “You will shut your smurfing pie-hole, maggot!”
or “Get me a smurfing beer, bitch!”
That last one came from Trailer Trash Smurf, about the time he appeared on “Smurf Cops!” as I recall. It’s been a while since I’ve seen the show.
From this point forward my name shall be Fuckette.
I agree with the OP.
It’s all too common.
Use of the word f*** adds nothing the discussion.
One time, at band camp … OK, it wasn’t band camp.
But about 18 years ago, I spend three weeks with a bunch of teenage lads at a camp in New Mexico Rockies. Our adult leader frowned heavily on cursing, so we used Smurf-curses:
smuck, smit, smubic hair, etc. We got to curse, and, as an added bonus, it drove our anally-retentive leader up the wall.

I’ll be Papa Fuck.
On another note, isn’t this one of the more bizarrely infolded posts you’ve read? I mean, you’ve got some people talking about Hamlet, some people talking about grammar, and some people talking about fucking smurfs?
Also, the past participle can be used as an adjective.
eg I am totally fucked. (in trouble)
I am totally fucked up. (inebriated)
Your car is fucked up. (broken)
Your logic is fucked up. (erroneous)
Present participle adverb :
You are fucking stupid. (very stupid)
Present progressive :
You are fucking a dog (transitive)
They’re fucking in the church (intransitive)
You are fucking Stupid. (Okay, that one is a little confusing-- by that, I mean you are fucking that person who is always with that person who is wearing the T-shirt.)
Gerund:
I love fucking.
Verbal:
To fuck is an amazing thing.
General noun (use is somewhat uncommon):
You are a total fuck! (i.e. fucker, asshole)
Bumping your toe:
FUCK! FUCK FUCK FUCK! FUUUCK! Fuckity fuck fuck McFuck fuck FUCK! FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK! Ow.
Once you become proficient, you can speak the English language with the fluency of my friends and manipulate the word to your behest.
Fucking uh, I was fucking studying for this fucking test, but I was fucked up because my girlfriend didn’t wanna fuck when I drove down to fucking visit the bitch, and I was fucking takin’ all this fucking Dexedrine etc…
Which is all well and good, except that Sagnasty’s post was a direct parody of bmerton’s little diatribe. So we now have people being mocked for mocking people who deserve to be mocked. (Can b j 0 r n be far away?)
Sure, give all those fucking Americans credit for overusing the word fuck. I use the word fuck at least once a day especially when I’m talking about fucking hockey.
If it really bothers you I’ll try to give up on using the fuck as long as you give up on using “whilst”.
Until then and since this is still the smucking pit, you can go and smelch a smurfing goat.
Fuckin’… I mean smuckin’ eh… this could be addictive.
Smuckity smuck smuck smuck.
It doesn’t quite roll off the tongue as well as that other word, maybe I just need some practice.
Smurfratchet, smurfsucker, mothersmurfer…
Hmmm…
Ooops, I hadn’t noticed all of bmerton’s threads yet, just the ones about hot coffee, cigarettes and earphones in aeroplanes.
A little search reveals that not only does he think the Americans are ruining “our” language, he also considers all French people to be “grumpy” (bmerton considers it self-evident that all Frenchmen are created equal). He also thinks that some African tribes can “technically not be categorized as human beings” (I wonder if they can be persuaded to agree?). This seems to be pretty close to violating the Prime Directive, especially since he seems to post exclusively in General Questions.
We must stop this ever-escalating circle of sarcasm before it’s too late. After all, sarcasm is very bad and dangerous.
“Oooooooooooooooo, run, it’s sarcasm!” 
Hoist by Johm Luc Piccard ?
Yeah, he’s sailing close to the wind. How long before the cry does up:
“bmerton: Hoist by his own facade” ?
Sit down you in the cheap seats… Not yet, fools !..soon, but not yet…I tell ya, you can’t get the same quality of lynch mob these days…
Jean-Luc Picard. With one ‘d’, and a hyphen.
My computer crashed last time I was trying to write a response to this post. Hoist by my own Hewlett Packard!
*(I was referring to the “don’t be a jerk” rule, which is sometimes jokingly referred to as the Prime Directive of this message board. I happen to like that rule. It’s a bit like the Being Bloody Stupid Act of 1581, one of the more important bylaws of Terry Pratchett’s Ankh-Morpork.)
Oh contraire !
Hoist by Eddie Izard
Having such a bad board day…That was, of course, supposed to read:
Hoist-by Eddie Izard
- which is entirely different from:
‘Hoist by a spelling blaggard’
Time for a quick quiz ? Oh good !
What did Lauren Bacall say when her co-star grabbed the bad guy by the throat and pinned him up against the wall ?
