This started out as a post to [this thread](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=213718), but then it got long and hijacky, so presto, it’s a whole new thread. So at my flat we have a computer in the same space as the TV, couches etc. Normally that’s fine. The connection is painfully slow at the best of times, so mostly it just sits there, gathering dust. Tonight, I’ve run out of things to do, so online I go. Not two meters away from me two of my flatmates are sprawled on the couches, playing Final Fantasy something. And here is my rant, directed at flatmate x, who we’ll call Anna. Shut up. Stop giggling. Calling your character ‘cuntface’ is NOT funny. No really, it’s not. That’s why I’m not laughing. When you named your character and giggled for five minutes, I didn’t laugh. Because it is isn’t funny. When the dialogue went “Hi CuntFace”, and you laughed again, I didn’t laugh. Why? Because it isn’t funny. When you looked over at me and said ‘ **manx** , I’ve named my character CuntFace!’ and I _still_ didn’t laugh, it was because. It. Is. Not. Funny. Maybe I’m just in a bad mood. Maybe having lived with two younger brothers deadened my ability to find this shit funny. Maybe you’re just an idiot. Because CuntFace isn’t funny. It isn’t a funny word. It doesn’t make you look clever, or particularly amusing. It makes me want to leave the room. You have been playing (badly) for almost an hour now, and you still giggle madly every single time someone addresses your character. Get over it already! ---

I once played a rented game of FInal Fantasy 6 where someone did that. Even at age 12, I knew that was boring and dumb. ---

Cuntface is pretty funny. I agree with the OP: it is irritating to have to listen to someone endlessly giggling about something that clearly isn’t funny. But as a person who has done her fair share of endless giggling over un-funny things (including, co-incidentally, the line “Maybe a dingo ate your baby” from _Seinfeld_) I have to accept it as something that just happens, sometimes. It is your right to be annoyed by her, yes, just as much as it is her right to annoy you. ---

Heheheheheh. I played Final Fantasy Something once and named all the characters bad names. Like Fucko and Fatty and things. I thought it was pretty damn funny. But yeah, I was a youngin’ back then. Now I name them cool made-up mystical-sounding names. ---

In Suikoden 1, your main character is repeatedly referred to as “Young Master” or “Young Master -whatever you named him-.” My stepfather named the main character “Baiter.” _sigh_ ---

I hate people like that too kiddo. If it’s not funny, IT’S. NOT. FUNNY. (maybe you should smoke some weed so it stops bothering you so much 😉 ) ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by green\_bladder \* > \*\*Uhh, how old is flatmate X? \*\* Nearly twenty, alas. In all fairness, she looks on in confusion as the rest of us laugh til we cry at Eddie Izzard tapes, so maybe this is, I dunno, a sort of justice…? Probably she’s just a twerp tho’. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by green\_bladder \* > \*\*Uhh, how old is flatmate X? \*\* I was more wondering what flatmate has been smoking, and if I could have some too, if she’s finding something that inane that funny 😃 ---

Hmm, seems to me if you called someone cuntface you are asking for a poke in the nose. Maybe that’s what she found to be funny. If you called someone that in real life it would probably be answered with an act of violence. [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/shut-up-you-stupid-giggling-twerp/204453.md?page=2)
