least favorite thread titles

well that explains what it has to do with electronic music then

i think it's just cleverness, like "detrius"

well i think it's least-favoritness myself

lol

bobbins also means rubbish. I always figured it was a sort of playful reference to the catchall nature of those dance threads

big bottom bobbins

rmde'd at "upgrunt house" this morning

"bobbins" makes me never want to click on a techno thread so, good work, whoever

good work indeed

thank the city of manchester

bobbins
Rubbish.

Widely used in the Manchester (England) area.

Rhyming slang, "bobbins of cotton" = rotten
Manchester United are bobbins.

shd be boffins

rolling poppins toppins bangers 2014

"techno/house" is the bit that refers to electronic music, "bobbins" is just a punny way to say "rolling thread"

*mind blown* intriguing but "bobbins" ended up standing in for the music discussed after a few years of timedrift and overuse and thanks to this now all we have in those threads anymore are disparate randos who talk past each other in between weeks of pregnant silence.

and all because they called it bobbins

xp - was it newsie-wewsies to you, Matt?

Xp Yeah as sarahell said it's like "detrius", the name stuck & now it gets used as shorthand. It's unfortunate.

can't believe we've lost Whiney's contributions to the House threads

shiiiiit

if this policy gets out posters might start attaching the bobbins amulet to all their thread titles.

the finest of display names bobbins

^reminds me I used "tesco & horse dobbins 2013" for a while, which would have been quite witty if I hadn't come up with it several months after the Tesco horsemeat scandal was in the news

and all because they called it bobbins

almost makes me want to bump the most least favorite thread titles of all time to see them all next to each other

those are awful but so old i'm almost used to them by now

^^^ it's like how, through repetition, people in Britain don't see 'spotted dick' as funny

can you force yourself to ignore terrible threads through blunt-force repetition?

i always assumed the discerning tone of "funky house sceptics, let me draw your attention to this" was intentionally funny

and beardo disco is classic

beardo disco thread was my gateway to ILX

So, I'm a rather dogmatically rationalist atheist, but I really like gospel music.

lol a truly special snowflake

haha

Is this even permitted?

The McConaughssance: The REAL Poll

cuz (inter alia) it reads like a corruption of reconnaissance more than renaissance

that dogmatic atheist one is a good example of the terrible solipsistic early ilm thread title

i just see sauce in McConaughssance tbh

On The Importance of Having A "Favourite Member" of A Group

like what could possibly be the "importance" of that???

it is important to some people & I can't question that

important to some ppl maybe that they have a specific favorite member of a particular group but needing to have a favorite member of a group to possibly appreciate seems a bit meta try hard
