Can I start a thread in Cafe Society with this title? Yaba dabba do you frackin cocksuckers! The topic would be made up words, modified words, and words way overused in tv series. This comes from the Flintstones, BSG, and Deadwood. Stuff like that. Also I just think the thread title is funny. I thought of titling this thread that then thought well maybe not 🙂 ---

That would be properly spelled “Yabba Dabba Doo,” you know. 😉 I don’t think that it’s against the rules; we have “fucking” in thread titles occasionally, though it’s mostly in the Pit. There is, perhaps, an expectation of those who surf from work that Cafe Society reading might be largely free of profanity, so I advise against it. Maybe you could say “cockpluckers.” That sounds horrifying without being vulgar. Twix and Marley might feel differently, though; maybe they’ll weigh in. ---

Always follow mod instructions. But “cockpluckers” is likely to get you an honorable mention in [this](http://boardstest.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=625584) thread. (Note: EC is spot on; cock_plucker_ is indeed a horrifying word.) ---

I’d prefer a non-obscene thread title, since several good possibilities have been suggested. Thanks for asking! **twickster** , Cafe Society moderator ---

The deed is done. Check out the Cafe forum if you are interested. Thanks for the input and suggestions. Corner Case wins the virtual free coffe mug. Also in repy to “Wilma”: Sounds of Barney Rubble chuckle followed by Barney saying “Fred, she can’t talk now, she’s got something in her mouth” ---
