Not sure why this dn just occurred to me but

Thanafrogbs, by William Cullen Bryant (silby), Friday, 26 August 2011 01:52 (fourteen years ago)

No wait this is better and is a poem I have actually read

Do not go gentle into that good frogbs (silby), Friday, 26 August 2011 01:54 (fourteen years ago)

Into his uppity musings, with a mild
And uppity sympathy, that steals away
Their uppityness, ere he is aware. When thoughts
Of the last uppity hour come like a blight

Mr. Que, Friday, 26 August 2011 02:07 (fourteen years ago)

frogbs, blight is definitely a word. as in, you are a blight upon this message board.

some dude, Friday, 26 August 2011 02:07 (fourteen years ago)

Be kind and tender to the Frog,
And do not call him names,
As “Slimy skin,” or “Polly-wog,”
Or likewise “Ugly James,”
Or “Gap-a-grin,” or “Toad-gone-wrong,”
Or “Bill Bandy-knees”:
The Frog is justly sensitive
To epithets like these.
No animal will more repay
A treatment kind and fair;
At least so lonely people say
Who keep a frog (and, by the way,
They are extremely rare).

(Hilaire Belloc)

zvookster, Friday, 26 August 2011 02:15 (fourteen years ago)

it's not funny at all, but the bit at the end about how frog retention is very rare appealed to me.

Guys, all these frogbs display names are very funny, but it really is hell on my killfile.

Godzilla vs. Rodan Rodannadanna (The Yellow Kid), Friday, 26 August 2011 02:37 (fourteen years ago)

oh well that's just shoddy coding, obvs the killfile script should only compare against usernames, not display names

of all the writers, rappers and assorted others i follow on twitter, Touré was one of only two i had to drop, iirc due to simply being too annoying over time

uh i'm confused, is 'uppity' really racist? /tuomas
I'm British btw so please excuse me. We're all uppity here, this guy is our national hero: http://mrmen.wikia.com/wiki/Mr._Uppity
I mean, he is kind of brown but... ??

kinder, Friday, 26 August 2011 22:18 (fourteen years ago)

"uppity" isn't a racial slur, it's just used as a prefix to racial slurs often enough to carry some pretty unpleasant connotations

some dude, Friday, 26 August 2011 22:20 (fourteen years ago)

it was used to describe african americans who dared to stand up to degradation

buy uppity n***** mugs & shirts

y'know urban dictionary definitely isn't one of the very worst places on the internet but i really think it deserves to be in the conversation more than it is

some dude, Friday, 26 August 2011 22:29 (fourteen years ago)

In American parlance, uppity is always problematic because it implies that ppl have and should know how to keep 'their place' socially, whether that's due to race or class or sex or any combo thereof.

Qantas Airlines gives free Bledisoe Cup tickets to a fan who promised to "dress as Radike Samo, complete with Afro Wig, Aus rugby kit and facepaint."

FLIP FLOPPING HILL BILLY! (reddening), Monday, 29 August 2011 09:16 (fourteen years ago)

I was thinking of posting this one yeah. Whats interesting about it, is in this case it was done with no malicious intent at all and, importantly, the guy in question said he thought it was awesome and didnt understand what the fuss was all about. They were just dressing up as this specific guy.
