milton75 Posted July 26, 2021 Share Posted July 26, 2021 (edited) On a similar note, I very much imagine this has come up in this thread before, but people who were a football top to go on holiday are absolute imbeciles.

Highland Capital Posted July 27, 2021 Author Share Posted July 27, 2021 To be fair, I know of a couple of people who could be described as 'not taking fools gladly' but they're not bullies, more if someone's an idiot they don't bother with them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's nothing wrong with that, infact i suspect that's what most people do. it's the need to announce it to everyone along with the university of life and school of hard knocks that is the sure giveaway that the person is a fanny 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GordonS Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 Those who refer to anyone who expresses concern about the safety of other people in any way as "helen lovejoys". There's a place for that insult but it's massively misused. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have but tbh never seen any episode with her in it so had to ask what it meant after I saw it in here for the tenth time. Just don't see it as being any sort of insult to get annoyed about. Being absolutely honest it's very cringy, even childish patter which I only ever see in here. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Much as I fucking hate terms like "virtue signalling", social media has absolutely given rise to what I guess you might call "faux concern" over every topic you care to imagine. Lovejoy is absolutely the best comparison for these types. Eta similarly I occasionally see folk talking about how gammon is shite patter. Its not. Its famtastic and should be used more 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take your point on it being a comparison but unless the recipient of the "insult" knows The Simpsons well enough to know who she is then it's not an insult. Seeing it written repeatedly on here hasn't given it any more gravitas. See also "gammon", despite that poster losing his head over it a wee while ago. I suppose the yardstick is when someone asks what it means then it is way too niche and therefore useless for anyone other than those backslapping each other over it's use. Also, let's be honest here, it has no place in the vocabulary of a grown man. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The "won't somebody think of the children?" line is good when people are pretending to care about the impact of something on others, when really they're just being selfish. But I've seen it used here today to describe people suggesting we might want to get some education out so that not so many people drown every time the sun shines, maybe include open water swimming in school swimming lessons, and that's definite moron behaviour. And I agree about having to know The Simpsons - I know the line and the scene well, but I never knew the character's name until I googled it after seeing references on here. Off this board I suspect hardly anybody does. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most people would probably think you meant the maverick antique dealer and take it as a compliment because he was a bit of a shagger. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
