least favorite thread titles

I heard this in 2015, I liked it

idk, I find that thread title charming in its scottsewardian matter-of-factness. I like it.

it's just the blogginess that puts me off

We got Ant-Man movie

Radiohead and globalisation

lol

Thukydides v. Herodotos FITE

Greek: Θουκυδίδης, Thoukudídēs

Tea vs. Bread. FITE! (started by Trevor on board I Love Everything on 22-Jan-2002)

Roots Manuva vs Kardinal Offishall: FITE! (started by Tim on board I Love Music on 29-Nov-2001)

lol ok

i know you know that Thukydides was an attempt at transliteration but I was trying to observe that it was an inconsistent one, given the upsilon variation

Canadian: /kɑrdɨˈnæl oʊfɨˈʃæl/, Kardinal Offishall

A classic 'lost in the mists of time' thing to an extent, but I've always assumed it was something from the books of MOLESWORTH, which has contributed much in the way of GRATE slang to ILX. Please refer to the Sunday July 16 2000 entry here from the inestimable I Hate Music where a Molesworth parody is used against the Cocteau Twins in such a manner as to suggest the breeding grounds for FITES!

No this didn't start from Molesworth (he may haf used it but I can't recall it off the top of my head... maybe, but it's not the Molesworth variant that I use at any rate) - it just came into my head when posting "me vs GURLS: FITE" and since then it haf passed into ILx canon, innit.

aw

grate indeed

i look back fondly on "grate" (and "grebt")

Any point to any of this? I mean, digging up stuff from 12-13 years ago and sniggering at it?

Inasmuch as there is a point to any of any of this, yeah

the past is a different country after all and it is impolitic to judge the cultural practices of foreigners

As ilxor drash recently noted, ilx is in constant dialogue with itself and revivals mean that you do encounter terrible thread title aesthetics of a decade ago, why not snigger if it's sniggerworthy

Lol xo

Well that's fair enough, if you encounter them, I would be bemused if anyone went looking for them.

as xenophon observed in another context, what the fucking cunting fuck is this thread about anyway?

Ha, yes, I suppose I think there's enough shite right here and now without having to trawl through posts/threads from the dawn of time - before I was even here.

Thrilled to have the phrase 'fetty wap' in my life now for however long.

lol

Pretty sure it's now permanently bonded to the words "wrap," "feta," "fetish," "FAP," etc. etc. Saran Wrap should just give up now and license the name, it's all over.

yea, it sounds kinda rude and squelchy for some reason

Try Fetty Wap's Deli Wraps

It sounds like an early Red Hot Chilli Pepper's song title

fetty wap fetty wap fetty wap fetty wap fetty wap fetty wap get off my back

the leggings thread. also candidate for worst OP and plain old worst thread.

Why was World War I called The Great War?

rolling disgruntled shootings thread 2010

can't be asked c&ping

Please delete outrageous Scaruffi copypasta

^I make no apologies

(although I do object to the use of that thread as a catch-all for grievances against wins)

I'd completely forgotten, but I momentarily considered creating a blood sausage poll based on lj's post above, asking ppl where they came down on what cba stands for

is that one of them overpriced faux degrees for middle managers?

thread writes itself

^I make no apologies

(although I do object to the use of that thread as a catch-all for grievances against wins)

the thread hasnt been used for that purpose at all

8 months pass...

can mods delete the last however many 77 posts wins is drunkenly copying to non 77 threads tonight

― nakhchivan, Friday, June 5, 2015 5:41 PM (3 days ago)

I mean if this isn't a wins-related complaint with no relation to the subject matter of the OP, idk what to say

that's not really a grievance is it? petitioning to have c&ps removed from search results is complaining, that is more of a caveat to an ongoing violation of a known basic rule

eh, the Scaruffi c&ping and the 77 c&ping are still two separate incidents (even though they stem from similar drunken impulses), and it's good practice to start a new mod request thread for a new incident rather than turning an existing thread with a specific purpose into a 'rolling [user] behaving badly' thread. but I'm not seriously bothered about this, and I guess it was fair game to bump that thread considering that the mods chose not to lock it.

the reason was more to situate it within that pattern of drunk excesses rather than call inordinate attention to something which has got people banned before

ah, in that case I can see where you're coming from, although I still feel like a generic 'delete 77 content' thread would be better for that purpose. I just didn't want my thread to turn into a wins pile-on, but that was clearly the opposite of your intention.

Just a simple song but God I love it Embedded in me, so bittersweet I’m addicted, I’m a melancholic Sing it again, I’ll be your Poll forever: THE BOO RADLEYS - ILM artist poll #60 or new numbering #65
