Insulting a movie: When Hollywood came out with a movie about Werner von Braun called "I Aim for the Stars" an English critic suggested the sub-title: "But Sometimes I Hit London."

we use the word PRAT and DILLON in our house no idea what DILLON means but its chucked around a lot non the less. Its all meant in the nicest possible way though.

I think this was a famous quote of Churchills, to Nancy Aster.

(Nancy) ....If i was your wife i would give you poison ..........
(Churchill).....Madam if you were my wife i would drink it....

No...spoon was covered, along with the reason it was used as a derogatory term.

Margaret Pilkington · 11-04-2007, 18:34

'You Twillop' is another one that I sometimes use.....no idea where it comes from.

Heard one of the ladies I work with call her little girl a 'rug rat' today whatever that is. Course didn't look like one at all.

Well to be honest ours aren't really PC! but we do call each other... Spaz, Mong & Flid! But when I say them I don't mean them as an insult to anyone with a physical or mental disability, to me its just like saying numpty or nutter which we also use! I do tend to be very careful not to use these terms outside!!

I remember years ago at school we used to call each other Joey's after seeing a programme about a Disabled man named Joey Deacon, in fact this man is somewhat remarkable.

I always thought Mong meant Mongrel....but my sister told me it meant Mongol...so I was very careful about not using it in company that would find it offensive...family seem impervious to most insults anyway
