This is a question Common

Freddy Woo writes, "My wife thinks calling the front room a lounge is common. Worse, a friend of hers recently admonished her daughter for calling a toilet, a toilet. Lavatory darling. It's lavatory."

My own mother refused to let me use the word 'oblong' instead of 'rectangle'. Which is just odd, to be honest.

What stuff do you think is common?

Scon or scone?
The most obvious thing that distinguishes a posh person from a commoner... Whether they pronounce 'scone' like sCON or sCONE. (Just for the record, it's sCONE, you b3tards!)

Also, my little sister calls the computer room the 'office'. What the deuce?!

How is that common?
Fucking hell, this question is bringing out more dribbling retards than usual.

Hmm
try posting something worthwhile then, if you think you can do any better.

Oh, I've just had a look at your 'best answers to questions'. It appears that you can't.

Stick with /talk. It suits you better.

Oh no, I don't post anything in QOTW, how terrible.
Maybe because it's mostly full of idiots who can't even understand the question. Cutting reply, there.

Yes and /talk is brimming with genius.

You fucking spastic

Well, you've certainly displayed your own eloquence there, well done.

(, Sun 19 Oct 2008, 22:40, closed)
That's a smashing retort.
Your mother must be so proud of you. Well done you! Come on, let's have another from your vast array of shitty responses. You must be dying to get them out there and show off how scathing you can be. You never know, it might attract ZOMGIRLS.

Yes my mother is probably looking down rather fondly from heaven, pleased that I've clearly upset someone from /talk enough that they've had to call in what appears to be reinforcements. lol my arsehole is quivering like a rabbits nose as we speak

I would've put money on the dead mum response.
Well done.

Shall I pretend she's alive to make you feel better? Or completely glaze over the subject?

I doubt anyone would give a fuck either way,
so whatever you want.

You're dealing with the sad news well
she was alive last week, and doing your laundry.

I understand the questions perfectly well
It appears that you can't think of anything in response to those questions other than banal shite.

'My friend will only eat muffins and ice cream and pringles'. Yeah, knock yourself out. Literally, pet.

It's different in different places.

Bzzzzz
Wrong.

No, it's not.
Is it written down in law somewhere how it should be pronounced?
(, Sun 19 Oct 2008, 18:43, closed)
Yes
In the little book of identifying Hyacinth Buckets.

EDIT: Anyway - this question has already been covered here:

b3ta.com/questions/common/post274509
(, Sun 19 Oct 2008, 18:46, closed)
That doesn't prove how it's pronounced, just how people think it should be.
My point is it doesn't matter, and considering people to be 'common' because of how they pronounce a word is narrow minded.
(, Sun 19 Oct 2008, 22:42, closed)

Stop press: Internet in narrow minded shocker. And on b3ta no less!?

Now take your head out your arse and fuck off back to /talk you greasy cunt-flap.

I keep clicking 'I like this' in here because it has fewer clicking options

Fucking hell, I thought /talk was argumentative.

At least /talk actually has discussions

Going by your reckoning it seems opinion isn't allowed either. More to the point, I couldn't care less about the pronunciation of 'scone' but I felt a certain duty to put down in writing what a stuck up piece of shit you are. Oh and begging your /talk buddies to "fuck him up" because you can't do it yourself was a tad funny. Bit sad when you think about it though...

You know when people put in their profiles exactly how wacky and zany their personality is? Tis a sure-fire sign that they are completely 100% not whats being purported. Still full marks for effort though!

Or have you resorted to just making stuff up now.

Hate to point out the obvious seeing as I actually replied directly to the person in question, but yes it is the person I replied to although this extrapolation is seemingly beyond you.

Haha, you're a colossal wanker.
And Blue Star doesn't say anywhere in her profile about being wacky or zany.
(, Sun 19 Oct 2008, 23:07, closed)

Lol you psycho-spastic the whole page is dedicated to making her look as zany as possible - it says a lot when people have to point out such 'qualities' of their own.

Regardless, I've succeeded in making the fatties wobble maybe you should get more of your buddies to have a go at me, cunt.

Maybe you're seeing a different page to everyone else, whatever.
Pffft, I think you're doing enough wobbling for everyone.

but I'm a massive wacky lezzer, OFFLINE :((((

Sadly, the fact is you wobbled so much you had to get your friends in for some action too haha!

"fuck him up for me Tara" - classic!

Yes, it was entirely serious, and not about having a laugh on the internet, oh no.

Actually, ignore me. There's football on.

hahaha
Pulling the "my mums dead" while having "mum does me washing" in your profile was funny as hell.

Also for a guy who claims to have "lost the character trait of giving a shit" you seem to be giving a shit.

You're right about being a bit of an arsehole though.

CSS doesn't make your profile invisible.

Nice brownie point scoring well done. Thoroughly enjoyed the team effort involved with the wobbling haha
(, Mon 20 Oct 2008, 8:53, closed)
hahaha, love it! Just to recap...
You throw a mahoosive self righteous wobbler, while over using the term "wobble". You post that your mum is dead, while having a qotw from last week stating that you're basically freeloading off her. And you also "don't give a fuck", yet:

"I couldn't care less about the pronunciation of 'scone' but I felt a certain duty to put down in writing what a stuck up piece of shit you are."



A++ Would Troll Again!!!!!

"mahoosive self-righteous wobbler"?

No, as I said before just wanted to call that idiot a psycho-spastic, little did I know all her i-friends would round up and go absolutely nuts.

"Fuck him up for me" rofl

Oh yes,
And what exactly does this have to do with you? Ah yes your bumming up this munt-bag, hope that goes well for you..

/momentary seriousness
If you are being genuine, (and I'm beginning to thing that you are), you have a poor grasp of tongue in cheek humour.
You also seem to take things more seriously than is mentally healthy. Step back for a moment, and take a nice objective look at what you've written on this thread. Someone posted a comment on a board, and you just wanted to call them a psycho-spastic. Honestly? If you have a difficult time with people taking the piss, perhaps you should need a little break from the net, just till you get your head sorted out.

Now I'm more than happy for your seeming spiral of self destruction to go on, but I just thought I'd better check first.

I claim not to be wacky or zany.
Because there are quiz results and test results in there? Oh WOW cos like no one else has those either.

Unless it's the place, near Perth, Scotland
which is spelt Scone, but pronounced 'scoon'.

So there.

So now we must all pronounce..
"Gone" as "goe-n".

Bollocks.

It is regional not class
OED has both pronunciations as correct.

And the word originated in the English language in Scotland from the word schoon meaning bread.
