Well , at least we want to project that to anyone reading the board :laugh: Have recently had to clean up some language here , specifically the F word and all of the ways it can be conjugated , modified , used as a noun , a verb , an adjective , etc . Just a reminder , there are ways of expressing strong sentiment W/O resorting to language that most of us would not use in front of our mothers :laugh: Heck , send me a PM with every known expletive , even invent a few , we can have a good laugh , and maybe a competition around who can be most creative :shocked: :evil: However let's remember to be gentleman and ladies in public . We never know who is reading . Thanks .

Are you sure it isn't time for a colorful metaphor?

Well then, I guess one could always conceal epically poor manners, rage and slanderous retort in idiomatic colloquialisms. :boozing:
I kinda like to use applied scenarios in a lot of instances where modified behavior is beneficial. For instance, to drive any four-wheeler as though I can only expect the acceleration of my diesel 3/4 ton keeps me from entering into potentially embarrassing behavior elsewhere... Driving as though I have all the dogs in the car returns the same rewards in braking and cornering.
Writing in general and implied intimacy conversations in particular - I find it best to behave as though most anyone else might be physically in front of me for the reactions my conduct may induce.
Forums like this, I generally like to assume that my; Wife, Grandmother and an old "Rabi" would have access to the written thoughts.
Other internet scenarios, being very, very closed and populated by a particular bent of fellas - I'll communicate as I would in the Team Room in the Army and offense taken is offense interpreted. Those scenarios, I won't be held accountable for your "feeling" and in turn will take my own lumps; literal and figurative.
If policing is required - what the hell, it keeps Dusty off the streets... So there's that and his community can thank us! :evil:

Well , there is that Todd :laugh:
Todd's post does mention a couple of salient points . One , there are all kinds of internet forums where anything goes , and usually does . They can be fun if you remember that most inhabitants of those places will never ever meet face to face . We tend to gather up at rallies and camp outs , and certain ether space behavior just might lead to a good whacking . Second , I know several folks that only lurk on WG , some for the humor , some for entertainment . Women , a couple of young folks , even my 72 year old sister and an ex GF read WG on occasion because both think the humor is , well, humorous :rolleyes:

Yeah, OK, guilty as charged. Generally I try to abide by the limited strictures of WG and accept that there are some who are offended by a good dose of the 'Vernacular' and I generally also try not to offend.
Sometimes I get a few beers in me and my conduct slips. I apologise to those I offend. It isn't intentional and I realise that some are easily offended or upset. It's not my intention.
Arse!

-
Arse isn't a 'Swear Word', it's a descriptor, like Bum!
-
You know Pete, I don't think any of this was actually leveled at you.
For the most part your colourful descriptions of the the human state are not generally leveled toward a specific person on the board and manages to remain pretty much on the right side of actual foul language. Well, nearly always, and you obviously try. Difficult sometimes I'm sure.
(How are you getting on with that stuff for me?)
-
I have the plate. I may have gaskets but they're in the garage. Don't ask! If you can get sump and head gaskets, (Which I thing won't be needed.) from Moto Kiwi or whoever I can get the plate off tomorrow. I tend to mail out Friday's.
Pete
-
People should be judged by what they do and not what they say... However , if you break a part on your bike by stupidity one F word is far more descriptive than a " gosh darn it". In fact there's too much flowery time wasting worded talk that can be replaced by a simple profanity..
Remember gents, ear plugs and blindfolds on your wife and kids so they won't be offended by reality...better to be a stuffy old fart than a colorful old fart :wink: Oh, can we say fart ??? :grin:
-
color and character are as appreciated in banter as they are in our bikes.
I'm reminded of Chucks comments in the "appliance" thread, where he states he'll take the Guzzi motor over the Scorpions "better" Yamaha because of intangibles. Language is the same. I certainly recognize it can go too far.
-
If I say 'Buttocks' rather than 'Arse' is that better? Also can anybody illuminate me as to how many angels you can get to actually dance on the head of a pin? If they just Pogo can you get more of them on than if they're doing the Twist or the Aligator? :boozing:

The lack of internet ugliness here is much appreciated. A rant from Mr. Roper is a thing of beauty.

A real "Front bottom" is my favorite. Keep em coming Roper.

Colorful is wonderful , no issues there fellas . Like Luap said , the F bomb is verboten , and yes , like most of us , if I break a part that word will certainly come into play . However , in the time it takes to fire up the pooter and write about it I've normally calmed down a bit .
Dusty
PS , relax Pete LOL .

When the wrench slips and you painfully smash your knuckles, instead of the f bomb just say," Oh the perversity of inanimate objects". It works.

Thanks for that. I'll give it a try next time.. :smiley:

Hmm, well Dusty old man.
I went to the Colorado School of Mines. Known for creative swearing. Took me years to adjust. Remember a Christmas at parents of best friend in Los Altos, CA. Said: "pass the +ucking butter". Did not go down too well with his mother. His dad, a Stanford grad, locked eyes with me, then spewed in a doubled over laugh.
Yet, I get you.
Then again I have this black T-shirt. Love the saying. Saw original in movie about young lady in Sweden. Will leave it at that. Have never worn the shirt in public though....gives me a grin in my closet though. Merde....
-
This what I tell the high school kids I coach and the inmates that I work with. Both populations known to use F bombs and every other swear word available. "Anyone can swear. It also shows a lack of intelligence. Think of a good insult instead."
This is pretty much what I would tell my pupils in school. The "Think of a good insult instead" would have been a nice addition but I did used to add that it showed an inability to use language.
At one point in my life I was driving a school bus from Bluff to Invercargill. Bluff is a port. I suspect ports are the same everywhere. The the air in the bus tended to be distinctly blue. The kids, mostly high school age, I was carrying were not renown for a co-operative attitudes nor for their inclination to listen to adults.
I put a sign up in the bus which in large letters said;
"Foul language does for the ear pretty much what a dead sheep does for the nose"
While some of the kids had trouble understanding the message, and asked me about it, it made a surprising difference.
I think when it comes to the use of language we have to consider where we are. A forum is not a private conversation. It is an extremely public one. It's hard enough to circumvent cultural differences without throwing foul language into the pot.
-
For those on this thread that never have met Pete from OZ. Well, let's just say that his descriptive insults are amazing. Very creative and enjoyable.

Well said Sir!
As a member of this community, and we certainly are a community with ties much deeper than our love of the quirky Italian motorcycles we ride, we should always keep in mind that use of foul language, derogatory terms, or insults reflects on us as individuals and as a community.
As my dear Mother would have said, "use your company manners."

There is one censored word. And it is the "f" bomb. Been that way since I built the forum so nothing new here in that regard.
I tried to post something here and there was no "f" in it anywhere. Maybe Dusty or someone else here deleted my post before it even could be read by anyone else. It never made the forum. :sad: I was responding to someone here saying if you have to use cuss words to communicate then you are ignorant. I was pointing out my formal education and why I sometimes use cuss words anyway, without using any in that dissertation.

Two Norwegians got trouble with their car. The lights didn't work. They stopped, and one of them told his friend to check if the blinker worked. The friend went out and said:
- It works... It doesn't work... It works... It doesn't work... It works... It doesn't work...
How do you sink a Norwegian submarine?
- Dive down and knock at the door. Then they'll open the door and ask what you want!
- How do you sink a Norwegian submarine again?
- Dive down and knock at the door. Then they'll open the door and say: "You can't fool us again!"
- How do you sink a Swedish submarine?
- Dive down and knock at the door. Then they'll open a window and say: "We're not as stupid as the Norwegians!"

Nothing like North and West of here. Brazos R. flooding at historic levels. Several towns evacuated. Colorado, Trinity and San Jacinto R.
not far behind. Nine soldiers swept away, likely drowned, at Ft. Hood. Most of rain East of that area now, thank God.
