> [@featherlou](#): > > Kudos to you for not bowing to silly pressure to not swear in the title on an adult message board. I think the mods should add extra “fucks” to all the titles that don’t have swears in them, in fact. Seconded. Infact they should do one better then that. The more innocent the thread title the worse the edits should become. like > [@](#): > > I pit kittens for being so sweet and soft! should become I pit kittens for being so sweet and soft! you menstruating herpes infected whore cunts spoilered for a reason. ---

> [@featherlou](#): > > Jim and I just had a five minute discussion over this, and concluded that the title is fine for a title, but it is not a sentence. True…a band name corollary can be made here. For instance, “Katrina and the Waves” or “Hootie and the Blowfish” are titles, not sentences. Of course, while I wouldn’t buy a Katrina or Hootie disc, I’d definitely buy any album that “Fucking Ping-Pong Tables and the Fucking Fucks Who Fuck With Them” put out. _“Oh man, you missed a great show last night…FPPTatFFWFWT ripped that stage right the fuck up!”_ ---

So, “titular” roughly has the same meaning as “cheif.” Cheif theme, cheif artwork, cheif of a company. \ And that one microwave happens to be about 6 inches from the **cheif** fucking ping pong table which you **cheif** fucking fucks are too fucking stupid to stop fucking around with!\ Meh. I guess it works. Still sound funny, though. Especially if you take “titular” with more of a “cheif in name only” angle, which is how the first definition on [Dictionary.com](http://Dictionary.com) and I both did. Not a huge deal ---

I still don’t understand. Why is it rude to use a ping pong table when it’s there, presumably for using? ---

> [@cowgirl](#): > > (emphasis added) > > Shouldn’t it be “I intend to **fuck** the fucking fucks who fuck with the fucking ping-pong tables”? Yup - you’re a step ahead of me there. Or perhaps just “Fuck the fucking fucks who fuck with the fucking ping-pong tables.” That seems to me that it would be an imperative, and probably OK as a sentence. ---

As a title I was thinking: “Fucking fucks fuck with fucking ping-pong tables”, but that sounds too much like a news headline. “Fuck the fucking fucks who fuck with the fucking pong-pong tables” sounds better. Just rolls off the tongue. ---
