It's not that great an insult. I've never liked it, to be honest. WHO'S WITH ME????

COCKFARMER!

Zero-wattage bumbling bulb!

(I invented it; I intend to overuse it. *wink*)

Its no cockfarmer thats for sure, but then again, few things are.

― Mr Noodles (Mr Noodles), Friday, 17 October 2003 01:41 (twenty-two years ago)

mmm ass. mmm hat.

― Kim (Kim), Friday, 17 October 2003 01:55 (twenty-two years ago)

Oh no, ILX has created another of the ass obsessed hordes, oh No!

So do I MCH, so do I. And I think your insult is far superior to 'asshat'.

― colin s barrow (colin s barrow), Friday, 17 October 2003 02:24 (twenty-two years ago)

Full of bummy goodness.

― Kim (Kim), Friday, 17 October 2003 02:28 (twenty-two years ago)

Oh man, I can't believe I actually hit submit...

― Kim (Kim), Friday, 17 October 2003 02:28 (twenty-two years ago)

mmm submit.

― Kim (Kim), Friday, 17 October 2003 02:29 (twenty-two years ago)

I'm Passing Windows! Come here! Someone wants to submit!!

― colin s barrow (colin s barrow), Friday, 17 October 2003 02:30 (twenty-two years ago)

She's submitting to the call of the ass, not some leather bondage fantasy.

― Mr Noodles (Mr Noodles), Friday, 17 October 2003 02:39 (twenty-two years ago)

Are you sure? Maybe it's:

A fluffy warm world of pastry sure sounds fun to discover.

― Mr Noodles (Mr Noodles), Friday, 17 October 2003 03:01 (twenty-two years ago)

Yet somehow that boxtop looks threatening.

― Mr Noodles (Mr Noodles), Friday, 17 October 2003 03:02 (twenty-two years ago)

Yes, it wants to bite. That is my impression.

― colin s barrow (colin s barrow), Friday, 17 October 2003 03:03 (twenty-two years ago)

That ad looks more like a horror film than yummy pastry goodness. I mean that box looks like it's rearing up to attack!

argh xp Noodles.

― Trayce (trayce), Friday, 17 October 2003 03:03 (twenty-two years ago)

Hey, a little danger is spicy!

― Kim (Kim), Friday, 17 October 2003 03:07 (twenty-two years ago)

The Nashville Donut Review? I want this magazine.

― A Girl Named Sam (thatgirl), Friday, 17 October 2003 03:09 (twenty-two years ago)

Screw the magazine, I want the donuts.

― colin s barrow (colin s barrow), Friday, 17 October 2003 03:10 (twenty-two years ago)

I mean doughnuts. Damn, I'm becoming Americanised. I mean Americanized.

― colin s barrow (colin s barrow), Friday, 17 October 2003 03:12 (twenty-two years ago)

The one on the bottom left looks to be encrusted with gravel. Now that's hardcore.

― Kim (Kim), Friday, 17 October 2003 03:13 (twenty-two years ago)

This seems as good a place as any to point out, yet again, that Americans can't make decent espresso. So I would need to take the doughnuts, yummy though they seem, to another country, say Italy, to enjoy them.

― colin s barrow (colin s barrow), Friday, 17 October 2003 03:15 (twenty-two years ago)

I'm with you, Mr. Barrow. Isn't asshat a big Fark thing?
Should we start our own Cluster?

― oops (Oops), Friday, 17 October 2003 03:54 (twenty-two years ago)

Yes. And as for the name of our cluster?

― colin s barrow (colin s barrow), Friday, 17 October 2003 04:00 (twenty-two years ago)

First instinct: The Luster Cluster (hi, i'm a drunk stoner)

― oops (Oops), Friday, 17 October 2003 04:04 (twenty-two years ago)

While you came up with that gem, oops, I was typing the following:
How about "Cluster Q14(c)"?

This name appeals to me for the following reasons:

(i) It seems bureaucratic yet somehow rather exciting, like we're on an important project, one of several delegated to us by Someone or Ones Important;
(ii) It does not incorporate a cute joke or pun;
(iii) It is boring and hard to remember; and
(iv) Like the snappy doughnut box, somehow rather threatening, like we may have dossiers on people. We can control people by making them paranoid.

― colin s barrow (colin s barrow), Friday, 17 October 2003 04:06 (twenty-two years ago)

Haha, it's good to have other people do the thinking for you.

I like everything about your idea.
Luster Cluster should obviously be left to a 13 yr old community dance troup.

― oops (Oops), Friday, 17 October 2003 04:12 (twenty-two years ago)

Luster Cluster could quite possibly come up against Sparkle Motion in the finals of a school dance competition.

― colin s barrow (colin s barrow), Friday, 17 October 2003 04:13 (twenty-two years ago)

Now is (c) part of the actual name or just a copyright sign? I say it should be part of it. It would only serve to strenghten points (i) to (iv).

― oops (Oops), Friday, 17 October 2003 04:25 (twenty-two years ago)

Its no cockfarmer thats for sure, but then again, few things are.

Heh. Most of the insults I use are curse-free, though. It's because I was self-conscious about using curse words for the LONGEST time, because I just KNEW when I was a teenager that if I EVER used a curse word, it would come back to my parents, and my parents would slap me across the mouth if I even said the word "damn", so I had to be as creative as possible and create my own curse-free insults.

"Moronic cow" was my favorite one.

― Many Coloured Halo (Dee the Lurker), Friday, 17 October 2003 05:09 (twenty-two years ago)

oops, I agree. I also think there should only be three members: you, me and a mysterious third person.

― colin s barrow (colin s barrow), Friday, 17 October 2003 05:17 (twenty-two years ago)

Are you saying I'm not mysterious? *vanishes in cloud of smoke*

― oops (Oops), Friday, 17 October 2003 05:24 (twenty-two years ago)

you can't go past the classics. Jerkface. Dickwad. Even a strategically-placed doodyhead.

― petra jane (petra jane), Friday, 17 October 2003 08:26 (twenty-two years ago)

Fuckwit is a good one too.

― colin s barrow (colin s barrow), Friday, 17 October 2003 10:18 (twenty-two years ago)

What exactly are the admission procedures for Cluster Q14(c)?

― Baaderist (Fabfunk), Friday, 17 October 2003 11:07 (twenty-two years ago)

Asshat rules. Screw you guys. Although Cockfarmer runs a close second - mostly because I giggle every time I think of it as I ride the Piccadilly tube line home (this will only make sense to London ILXors):

This train is for COCKFARMERS

― Rob Bolton (Rob Bolton), Friday, 17 October 2003 15:50 (twenty-two years ago)

"You strategically-placed doodyhead!"

Yeah, petra's right.

Actually, this should be in the SCO vs IBM thread, but it is and example of a nin-Ilxor using "Asshat" as an insult.

― Lord Custos Omicron (Lord Custos Omicron), Friday, 17 October 2003 16:18 (twenty-two years ago)

I gave a lecture to my bussmates early in elementary school about how wrong they were to use curse words. My parents would freak out if they had known I had a friend who said "shut up" sometimes.

Soon after my parents got separated, I remember riding in my mom's car and she didn't change the station when "Damn, I wish I was your lover" came on. In fact, she said she really liked that song and later bought the tape. That's when I started picking up bad words. So, basically, it was all my mom's fault. :-)

― Sarah McLusky (coco), Friday, 17 October 2003 16:48 (twenty-two years ago)

The term asshat will be forever dear to my heart, even though the asshats I encounter in everyday life are horrible and hateable.

Maybe I should start using "shitehawk" instead. I've always liked that word.

― Nicolars (Nicole), Friday, 17 October 2003 17:07 (twenty-two years ago)

awesome. sounds like something from Battletech...

― Kingfish (Kingfish), Friday, 17 October 2003 17:26 (twenty-two years ago)

The word "asshat" is partly responsible for saving an almost-ten-years-running friendship.

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Friday, 17 October 2003 17:32 (twenty-two years ago)

but how much of a role did Booze play?

Baaderist asked about the admission procedures for Cluster 14(c). Can anyone help here? I have the following suggestions.

(i) A proven track record of contradicting on'es self, even from one post to the next.

(ii) You must be either ugly or a has-been. That rules Momus out. Because he's not ugly.

(iii) It is important that you demonstrate that you do not know what ironing is. The ironing is not delicious.

...and because (iii) above may result in too many Americans joining Cluster 14(c):

(iv) You must use the word 'courriel' rather than 'email' and;

(v) Love Vegemite or Marmite but despise peanut butter in ice cream.

― colin s barrow (colin s barrow), Friday, 17 October 2003 22:22 (twenty-two years ago)

Obviously my credentials are assured on every count, so I'm in. Oops is in becuase I say so, and because he can do handstands. Baaderist, the floor is now yours. Prove yourself.

― colin s barrow (colin s barrow), Friday, 17 October 2003 22:24 (twenty-two years ago)

Not only can I do handstands, but I also make stands out of hands.

Hopefully the two do not cancel each other out.
Our mysterious third person has informed me that it would help your admission chances if you were to write a thesis on the importance of the word 'noggin' in late-20th century Indo-European culture.

― oops (Oops), Friday, 17 October 2003 22:55 (twenty-two years ago)

My cat's called Noggin.

― colin s barrow (colin s barrow), Saturday, 18 October 2003 03:06 (twenty-two years ago)

*twilight zone music*

― oops (Oops), Saturday, 18 October 2003 04:41 (twenty-two years ago)

Hmmm, I appreciate the straight-forwardness of these procdures and see no problem meeting the requirements. However, I will have to demand a special opt-out clause regarding Marmite.
'Noggin: Perspectives, paradigmes et evolutions' will be sent subsequently by courriel to the Cluster.

― Baaderist (Fabfunk), Saturday, 18 October 2003 07:54 (twenty-two years ago)

You're in.

― colin s barrow (colin s barrow), Saturday, 18 October 2003 08:50 (twenty-two years ago)

buttmuncher - insult of the gods.

― The Lady Ms Lurex (lucylurex), Saturday, 18 October 2003 08:52 (twenty-two years ago)

For anyone who savors the picquancy of Elizabethan insultry or worships the baroque splendor of the profanity of Mississippi riverboat navvies, or admires the razor-fights of Irish intellectuals, "asshat" is ho-hum.

OTOH, "asshat" is the very model of the modern fashion in insults. It is terse, mildly assonant (cf. "mofo"), ever so slightly dadaist, and within three years it will never pass human lips again.

― Aimless, Saturday, 18 October 2003 17:37 (twenty-two years ago)

It's no fucko.

― Kim (Kim), Sunday, 19 October 2003 15:52 (twenty-two years ago)

two years pass...

Calista Flockhart just said asshat on her new show Brothers & Sisters. I think it's had it.
