If I find the need - and I seldom have; on my odd visits to the Pit I do prefer the rapier to the bludgeon - I’m going to use “quim” for “cunt”, “swive” for “fuck” and “dam” for “mother”: all archaic but perfectly serviceable profanity, and perhaps due for a revival. Swive! Quim! Damswiver!
This is officially the longest thread in ATMB history, by over 130 posts, and is trailing in views only to the sticky announcement that we were switching to pay to post, back in 2004.
Nice. I have to make notes, so I could tell other posters to “swive off, you quim”. Not, that I’m planning to. But it’s better to know. Just in case.

When you can’t even figure out how to interpret your own rule, it shouldn’t be a rule.

At the very least, I expect **Zotti and Bodoni to give us a duet on “The Inquisition” number from History of the World, Part I.
Skald and I will play the Rabbis in stocks, and harmonize on the “No-No-No-No” part.
Are you sure about that? I seem to recall the “Rewrite LotR” thread went to 20+ pages.
I appreciate the end of Rule #2 saying that “Creative insults on the other hand are welcome as always.” However there are many SNuGGlypupPY’s that do not have an extensive, or even rudimentary vocabulary, and thus cannot avail themselves of a wide range of creative invective. And there are others who try to attain the lofty heights of ridicule only to fall flat [sub](case in point)[/sub].
Therefore, do you wish to be prejudice against the vulgarly challenged among us who only have one meager retort to fall back upon?
Great question, and I think the answer is “yes.”
If I understand Ed correctly, if “You’re a chunt!” is that the best you have, it’s time to find a new MB.
Right, but that wasn’t in ATMB.
It was in Cafe Society.
Of course, you could be a pussy and a suck up.
Do you have any idea how much the retort "Ahh, F Y*"* wants to be uttered here? 
Thanks. Now I can impress people with my archaic vulgarities.
Dope - you can learn something new even from rant about rules thread.
Ooh, and also, let’s ban boxing and wrestling and fencing. Grown ups shouldn’t be using violence.
Yea, those too!
:smack: Somehow read “ATMB” as “SDMB.”
I thought that position was already taken. 
**Note, **it was just a perfect setup, Raindog, no insult is wished upon you by me, but come on- you gotta admit that was a GREAT setup, and in the old pit it would have been snatched up like raw steak amongst a pack of wolves. That’s kind of why I liked the Pit actually- I didn’t really fall under the new rules as a poster in there, but I loved to read it for those little turns of phrases and insults that would backfire onto the poster. It was intelligent and it was quite witty- anyone can say FU, it takes a better man to take someone else’s FU and turn it against themselves. That’s why I liked the old Pit, not for all the *unting *unts supposedly spewed forth by everyone. Sure juvenile humor may be just that, but the Pit was filled with plenty of people who weren’t just that, and were able to take something as silly as juvenile humor and turn a phrase so well that it became something more. Plus, I do admit one of my favorite lines of all time that I love to see in the Pit is Cervaise’s “Fuck You, You Fucking Troll”. It’s simple, sophomoric perhaps, but it works so well sometimes. Because it’s not like he’s going around calling everyone that. When it’s called out, you know you’ve just seem someone get dissected with a crude giant Bowie knife but in the hands of cervaise, he wields it like a scalpel. And it’s truly a joy to see a master at work then. That’s half of the reason I dislike the new rules, because it DOES diminish the entertaining quality that the Pit had. The other reason, is I do dislike the way they are being enforced- case in point Giraffe’s Asshole questions being said was not okay, but then “you ignorant asshole” was tolerated in the Pit. And though I normally don’t like to make complaints, or rock the boat, this is one area where I do have to say this greased slope does worry me.
Well played. Very well played.
How do you think I was able to offer up that observation?
Standing up to be counted. My more articulate post is several pages above.

Infantalizing discourse is not a good thing. Best stay with real words rather than play the virgin ears violin.
