Yeah I think I was over reacting to being told I speak utter nonsense, but at least my over reaction was nothing compared to that of the moderate faction yesterday.

We will have none of that foreign originated muck in this Forum.

Wait a minute. Can I use the word "forum"?

team47b

Can't use minute or word (Germanic) could call it a discussion group but nothing is up for discussion

Stevo_666

Do we need a list of words that originated in the British Iles? Then at least we can put blanks in for the ones that aren't allowed.

I can think of a few Anglo-Saxon ones if that is old enough, but those are not permitted.

Why not start with words that should be banned as they are foreign.

Lets start with 5 French ones - Peleton, bidon, chappeau, derailleur and of course, velo.

Any others?

PS:- As far as the Oxford dictionary is concerned, "drivel" is an old English word and therefore permitted.

team47b

The problem with old English is the old English word for 'ears' (Germanic) is not able to be used here - ar5e

ballysmate

Friends, Romans, countrymen, lend me your ears.
:shock:

So there is deep and veiled euphemisms in Noddy's adventures?

team47b

I can now see why they changed his name from lard ar5e in the re-write

pinno

'The adventures of lard 4rse"! Catchy.
