    Beat yer, Scrooge Von Poop!...Though I didn't realise I had, until the other guys pointed out that the n-e-w-b-y word will post thus: "Newby"...:p:lol:

    Don't see it as a problem, personally, but each to their own, eh? :unsure:

    we should have a system that censors whenever the words "Monty" and "Patton" are contained in the same post, or indeed the term "Panzers are sexy" should also be censored. :D

    Wot? They aren't?


    :lol:

    Again, how is "smart alec" spelt?

    :D

    Cant they just be called NIGs?

    As in the "New Intake Group" -

    - to see how well they last, what effort they make etc etc,
    I guess it was the same in the Battle of Britain with pilots.
    I'll wait and see how you turn out, old chap, if we both survive
    then we can probably chat and chew the cud together...


    Although VP was asking about other interwebby words
    which can gripe the older membership. Personally, I hate...
    well, nothing really. I've been online since '95, seen loads
    come (ooer!) and loads go. I dont think there's anything
    which really bothers me, as it all helps in its own way...

    You can deduce something by how a person posts, their
    language etc.

    For that I'm grateful.

    Got a photo of my Grandad aged 15 in an Army tent with a load of other kids in uniform.
    'The Nigs' is all that's written on the back.
    15 year olds looked much younger in nineteen-twenty-something.

    How about the word you know what is automatically replaced by "serf" -would suggest "apprentice" but that pre-supposes he or her is going to learn something

    I think the matter that caused this thread to exist is related to this.

    Yes you can:) if you know what they meme (hehe pun). It not a pun but you now what mean.
    Dyslexia. Leet speek memes etc but you or I may not know what is meant. Many many interweb cant words. You don't have to use perfic English on the web IMHO if you did my brother could pick hole in everybody's posts 'cos the only people that write pukka English are Subs.

    . What bugs me is a term that some of the Mods (PBTN) themselves employ: 'septic', so not much hope there and it's no skin off my nose anyway. Alternatives suggested: 'Bloody Yanks' or 'Damned Colonials'.


    How about 'Best'? :)

    As in

    An American warship is tied up next to an English warship. An American sailor leans over and yells to a British sailor "How's the world's second largest Navy doing?" The Brit replies: "Just fine, mate. How's the world's second best doing?"

    :D
