June 13, 2013 at 8:11 am #208188 srmcd1Participant My only surprise is that it wasn’t invented sooner. June 13, 2013 at 11:00 am #208189 Seb PatrickKeymaster Most swear words are actually valid in tournament Scrabble, anyway. The only ones that don’t tend to be are ones that are compounds of multiple words – so the likes of CUNT, SHIT, FUCK, TWAT, PISS, BOLLOCKS etc. are all valid, but PISSFLAPS isn’t. DICKHEAD is, though. June 13, 2013 at 7:29 pm #208190 genericnerdyusernameParticipant Just in time for my Grandma’s 90th birthday. Ta! June 13, 2013 at 9:11 pm #208191 Ben KirkhamParticipant Eh, Seb. We know how to swear us lot, don’t we? :) June 13, 2013 at 9:53 pm #208195 HelloMabelParticipant Why is Z fighting with S for possesion of CUNT? Is CUNTZ a word now?

This game I can play. June 14, 2013 at 9:43 pm #208207 redhead85Participant > Eh, Seb. We know how to swear us lot, don’t we? :) What is it they shout in the slums? UGGY UGGY UGGY! June 14, 2013 at 10:56 pm #208210 anniescribeParticipant And my only edge is being raised lower-class hillbilly … good for cussing, maybe not for spelling. June 17, 2013 at 3:12 am #208238 BlisschickParticipant >>>And my only edge is being raised lower-class hillbilly … good for cussing, maybe not for spelling. I don’t think the spelling issue is limited to just hillbillies, anymore. Have you read the interwebs lately? Oy vey! June 17, 2013 at 10:35 pm #208264 Danny StephensonKeymaster 0][ v3y, i think it’s spelt now… June 18, 2013 at 2:47 am #208271 HelloMabelParticipant > And my only edge is being raised lower-class hillbilly … good for cussing, maybe not for spelling. Whereas I was brought up to be a pretentious wuss who believed that people who cussed were bad people. As a kid I once asked my aunt why those guys playing ping-pong kept saying “bullcrap.” Told that it’s a swear word, I started crying because I had said it out loud! If I could talk to ten-year-old me, I would shake her by the shoulders and say, quit being such a goodie-goodie twat. June 18, 2013 at 3:12 am #208273 anniescribeParticipant See, I knew all the words by the time I was five. My dad was kind of like the one in “A Christmas Story.” Only without the lamp. June 18, 2013 at 3:37 am #208274 Ben PaddonParticipant Only I didn’t say “fudge.” June 18, 2013 at 3:48 am #208275 peas_and_cornParticipant >See, I knew all the words by the time I was five. My dad was kind of like the one in “A Christmas Story.” Only without the lamp. The networks screen this movie every Christmas, so I got the option of watching it. Last time I got as far as the lamp being “accidentally” broken and changed the channel. It was such a weird movie, it felt more like a series of events that happened in December than a Christmas movie. June 18, 2013 at 3:58 am #208276 Ben PaddonParticipant I saw it for the first time a couple of years ago (cropped to 4:3, annoyingly) and it is perhaps best described as cute, but lacking substance. June 18, 2013 at 8:18 am #208279 BlisschickParticipant Oddly, twat and titties were in our family vocabulary and not considered vulgar, but anything else was considered a cuss word. Considering the context of my family, it’s weird looking back on it. June 18, 2013 at 1:08 pm #208280 anniescribeParticipant I think ACS is rather a Midwest movie – other Midwesterners I know largely like it and can relate their childhoods to a lot in it. That’s not to say nobody else CAN, but I do think region plays a little into how substantive you find it. Also, your time period – I grew up in the 70s, but we lived in a rural area and I spent most of my time with grandparents and their friends, so there’s a lot in ACS that matches stories they used to tell to entertain me as a little kid, from the 1930s and 40s. June 18, 2013 at 7:51 pm #208282 Ben PaddonParticipant Yeah, my last girlfriend absolutely loved A Christmas Story, and she originally hails from Ohio. June 18, 2013 at 10:42 pm #208285 Pecospete666Participant The Bumpus’s dogs! And the tounge frozen to the flag pole are the parts I liked,and the Leg Lamp! June 18, 2013 at 11:24 pm #208289 HelloMabelParticipant My Okie side of the family loves that movie, and many of them can quote it as easily as I can quote Red Dwarf lines. The leg lamp inspired a running gag at our Christmas parties, in which mannequin legs got passed to a different man each year in the Dirty Santa game. They finally ended up as the bumpers for Uncle Mike’s boat. Oh, the shenanigans we got up to in the rollicking Reagan years! June 19, 2013 at 12:09 am #208290 Yaron RuParticipant Goodness me, we need a mobile version coded and released YESTERDAY! June 21, 2013 at 11:25 am #208326 Pete Part ThreeParticipant I often see A Christmas Story cited as an influence on The Wonder Years and if it truly was (and there are a couple of similarities), I salute it. I’m not keen on the episodic nature of it, but love the bit where Ralphie swears in front of his dad, or when he fakes an alternative cause for his eye injury. Both of those bits hit home. June 21, 2013 at 1:28 pm #208327 genericnerdyusernameParticipant Seriously, no one’s going to mention the bunny outfit?
