I thought a "mink" was just what you called a manky c**t. Unless manky is dodgy too. This is a minefield, you just have to take their word for it when people say that certain words piss them off and don't go off on one when someone gets it wrong out of ignorance.

Scary Bear Posted October 25, 2020 Share Posted October 25, 2020 (edited) 8 hours ago, Getcher said: Remember that speech that Marshy gave about how he cared about being top of the green dot leagues, but he couldnt quite reach the top with his insightful football talk and how he was scunnered with the non football talking guys getting all the greenies. Yeah he doesn't care!!! What's more tragic is that he is trying to get his minions to take down the big green dot brigade, well done on not caring enough to make it your number one passion pal. But at least he is his own man, the hangers on - who are dropping like flies - are an even more desperate breed. Can't have an independent thought just in case the all about greenie leader says it first. What is the deal with Marshmallo (the man who doesn’t care about dots/coloured circles) and Szammo’s Ammo? For people who don’t care about green/red circles why do they use them in every other post they create? Just curious. Is it a Twitter thing?

I take my hard earned reputation on this website very seriously. Marshmallo has a more relaxed attitude towards green and red arrows but good friends don't have to agree on everything!
