I hear the vulva hallway leading the library is quite pleasant though…

Wouldn’t that be more of a vestibule?

The only problem is they have to close it for maintenance every month.

Then why did you create the thread in the first place?

I might be tempted to call you a “dumbass”, but apparently, it is just not funny anymore.

I am crying now. Thanks guys.

**neutron star** , I understand what you’re saying, but hell, one of the main reasons I even \*read \*the Pit posts is for the hilarious insult-nouns. I swear to Og, twatwaffle makes me giggle like an idiot. I can’t help it, it’s one of the funniest words ever made up and hence makes a great insult – I mean, any insult that I can’t say straight-faced is worth it!

Okay, I had to reach for a tissue after this one, because I snorted through my nose, which apparently needed to be blown. And then I snerked and giggled through the rest of the thread.  
Thanks a lot you bunch of turdskillets.😛

With all the scrotumgrease floating around this thread, you shouldn’t need to use much fuckbutter at all.

Still pending approval through the Vulgarity Assessment Governmental Insult-Noun Agency are the nouns muffin, stain, grease, weasel, obelisk, henge, caravan, towel, skittle, davenport, topiary, button, snake, impressario, dart, anthropomorphism, and fog. However, not every word makes it through the rigorous Insult-Noun application approval process. If only there could be some animated cartoon that would explain the process in detail.
