If you ever watch Snakes on a Plane, make sure it's this version.

What about the word is it you object to exactly?

It's said so often I'm inured to it. But if you stop and think about what the word describes what is there to NOT object to?

It's a particularly unpleasant pairing of words though Beefy. Shirley that doesn't need explaining.
Not advocating mass-murder as an entirely positive experience, of course, but it had its moments.
"I understand you are a very good footballer" ... "I try".

It's not though is it? It's a horrible description of an illegal act spoken for effect. The effect being (initially) to provoke an extreme reaction from someone. Nowadays it's almost a term of endearment. But it's not JUST words.

I always thought it was referring to someone else's mother.

quite often a blokes missus will also be a mother... i'm so confused!!!

it's not a phrase I have ever used personally (other thatn posting a pic that had the word on it) - nor would I. I have recently started ploughing through The Wire with the kids - and M******F***** appears twice in every sentence!

The Ruskie here and I always greet one and other with a friendly "Yo, Mo' Fo'" but the thought of actually referring to someone as "Motherfucker", actually coming out with that? I'd feel like an absolute cock. I don't feel particularly easy about typing it out just now either. A horrible phrase.

What about the word is it you object to exactly?
In the network TV version of Die Hard II Bruce Willis was dubbed using the phrase "Yippee Ki Yay, Mister Falcon" to replace the objectionable word. Nowadays they don't bother.

oh yes! weigh-in day two in my fight-the-flab campaign - the end of week two..

3lb lost this week - making a total of 9lb lost! :oyea:

I'm happier with the 3lb - as I am aiming to lose 2lb per week. 6lb seemed like an unhealthy amount to lose in one week!

You can lose 3lb by having a good poo.

A colleague of my wife's went on a diet a few years back and kept on reporting weight losses in the pounds per week bracket. Only she never got any smaller. It turned out she weighed herself on a Monday and dieted during the working week and then weighed herself on the Friday to find out what she'd lost over the week (she always lost weight), but binged out over the weekend.
Every Monday she'd start again, but she never compared Monday on Monday comparison weights, only the Monday to Friday weights.
After about eight months of this 'diet' when she'd put an extra two stone on, she finally gave up and went back to eating normally.
If visual perception is anything to go by, she is still expanding.
That's not a leopard!

I was slightly worried about piling it back on whilst on holiday, but as an unexpected holiday bonus, my colon has decided to try and turn itself inside out for the past 12 hours, so looks like I'm safe. No smiley face to end this update though!
