Derogatory Words On Furum

[661-Pete]

It does produce some results which will baffle anybody who looks to resurrect old threads in years to come

... In two days' time Chinese people around the world will be celebrating the New Year, the Year of the Rooster. Appropriately, perhaps. There's been a lot of cock-crowing about in recent months and it's going to continue. And is not another name for 'Rooster', 'Chanticleer' - which helpfully rhymes with 'supporter of brexit'? ...

Blimey! That must be going back a bit! Because, unless I'm totally mistaken, this year is the Year of the Dog - so I must have made that post more than a year ago...

Yes, I certainly wouldn't have written "supporter of...." anything. To get around the filter, I'd probably have written "brex**iteer" - if that still passes the censor...

Incidentally, re the thread title: perhaps you'd better ask one of your friendly neighbourhood cats (or any other furred creature). To my knowledge, none that I know of has anything derogatory written on their fur. Mind you, when there's an un-neutered Tom plus a few females around....

It shows that I have time on my hands that I looked to see if I could find the exchange which led to the banning of the R and B words. Using the forum search helpfully brings up the auto-edited replacements, including your reported bizarre sense of rhyme Are you a Cockney, me old china, by any chance?

Meanwhile, a very Derogate-Tory government brings us a very undemocratic and derogatory Brexit complete with patronising and derogatory phrase "Brexit means Brexit"

I am proud to be a remoan-er
Remoan means remoan
I always make sure to never use one word: the p******e f***y

[661-Pete]

Are you a Cockney, me old china, by any chance?

If it's me you're asking - no, afraid not ... not even a SarrffLunderner, John....

Never been quite sure how you pronounce "Chanticleer" or other obscure words... I looked up in Chaucer's Nun's Priests Tale in which the eponymous cockadoodledoo features largely, and he appears to rhyme with "peer". But that begs the question: how did Chaucer pronounce "peer"...?

Hi,
OK, On a side note, how many keep the auto complete feature when searching the net, I don't as I do not like being lead around when I am being specific.
I am no good at english spelling so I find myself usually rereading my post several times to see whether it reads as I meant, auto complete can work or not

I guess the auto block works as expected.

I like Furum. I'm going to start calling it that all the time

Or maybe I will reserve it for the rabbit furum I belong to (Mini V has pet rabbits).
