It’s Welsh, translates as ‘tall monkey’. In North Wales though, ‘mwnci’ is used as slang for ‘bellybutton’. When myself and my non-gog friends at uni in Cardiff found this out, we liked that so much we gave ourselves ‘mwnci names’. Being the tallest, I became mwnci tal.
Sorry that’s so dull, I’m too tired to think up some amusing bullshit story instead!
electrcguy, I assure you it was an accident. I had a friend who did the exact same thing. A small bottle of super glue to glue back on fake nails is about the same size as a bottle of eye drops.
And nonnieyrissa, I’m glad you noticed my comment. I thought it was pretty funny.
Men can be so inconsiderate. Worcestershire Sauce should be a privilege, not a right. If I ever met that guy, I’d come in his face just to make him realize that condiments shouldn’t be a barrier to genital love.
@whomever made the comment about Asian eyes (was it haggie?):
You may find that joke funny, but as someone who is proud of her Korean heritage (my mother’s mother is 100%), the squinty eye jokes get very, *very* old.
I’m at a loss as to why Asian jokes are acceptable these days. No one, in their right mind, would see a picture of an African American and then make a blatantly offensive “black” joke, so why are Asians open targets?
Hahaha. Seriously, get the stick out of your ass, Jessi. Everything is up for sarcasm and evil jokes. Surprising numbers of people can make a great black joke if given the opportunity within seconds. For instance, what do you say to a black Jew? Get to the back of the oven! You are welcome to retaliate with white jokes, like what do you get when you put 32 rednecks in a room? A full set of teeth. This is how dark humor works. It is not to be combated by extreme sensitivity and lameness. People like you take the life out of everything with your squinty eyes and all.
@ Protagonist. those don’t really qualify as ‘dark humour’
Jessi, I wonder the same thing sometimes. I have an asian friend who I asked how she felt about how making asian jokes seemed to be more acceptable than making black or jewish jokes and she responded “it’s because we don’t complain all the time like blacks” and I laughed and told her that was kind of stereotypical/ racist itself.
at least you aren’t Muslim, though, people talk about them openly and no one seems to care. *shrug*
The_Protagonist, after reading your inflammatory comment, I think you should change your screen name to The_Antagonist. Just a thought.
As a general rule, I never get involved in debates on lamebook, preferring sit back, and let people rip with their opinions. The right to free expression is for the most part, a good thing, but buddy, I just have to say, you really need to look up the definition of dark humour, because your examples definitely do NOT meet the criteria.
I’m with The_Protagonist all the way. That IS dark humor. Obviously it’s not for everybody, especially the lot of you. What a bunch of politically correct Sensitive Sallys. Lighten up, Francis.
I thought that what Haggie said was innocently funny enough (and also, very common for Lamebook)…why is everyone suddenly thinking it’s so bad? With all due respect, I’ve read much more prejudicial comments on here on a daily basis, from the most prominent people on here. What’s with all the sand in everyone’s vagina?
I’m about as far from politically correct as one can get, and yes, there’s way too much PC bullshit in life now. There’s just not enough fun left to be had without people getting screwed over for it (oh how I miss the days of ass grabs & tit rubs in the workplace).
word, you would love the job I have. My only other “co-worker” is my boyfriend. The ass-grabs and tit-rubs are welcome to send & receive! =D (And no ugly harassment lawsuit after the fact)
i like to start each response with
“I agree with @ so and so…”
because it makes whatever I’m a bout to say sound more acceptable on the forum as I, myself, am unsure about the repercussions of my reply.
Walter Sobchak you are now my hero….that comment was bloody brilliant
I really feel for that girl in number 3….I don’t wear glasses nor do I use eye drops….or use fake nails…but I do feel for her situation – also I think she just got it in one eye and has the other closed to avoid attempting to open the glued one.
For racist jokes….the only people allowed to make racist jokes now are the freaking minorities who make jokes about themselves and eachother CONSTANTLY -.-“. I swear if I said half the things my boyfriend says (he’s Chinese) I’d get shot. (I’m white by the way).
We live in a world where everyone inserted a random object into their ass…it’s annoying -.-“. In today’s world I have to ask before I can make jokes abou ANYTHING to be sure no one in my vicinity if offended…how sad is that??
Put salt in my eyes?

@Soup
Your comment @54 is exactly what I said many years ago when a male acquaintance accidentally squirted something salty into my left eye

These comments have taught me that gay guys are not nearly as sensitive about their dairy products as Asian folks are about their eyes.

I LOVE dark humour, when it’s done well, that is.
I too believe that ass grabs and tit rubs should be allowed in the workplace.. would make going to work so much more fun.

The lunch hour must be the best time of the work day 😉
You need another employee, bry?
I’ll send you my resume.
Ahh the Irish. The only ones left about whom one can make a racial joke, safely. 😀
Humans and elves are the biggest racists. They’re always mating with each other but you never see them mating with dwarves or hobbits.
Get over yourselves!
Noooow!
It’s just the Internet; no need to fight on here! Geeez people : )

I agree with that yeller-bellied ambchop, but only if she doesn’t get any negative responses to her stupid sarcastic comment.

./rant over
Icey
About* it’s too damn late for proper spelling seriously now

Oh Hobo, dear Hobo. You made my day with your first comment – and I quite agree with vj (#32).
1995-1998, also known as the Zombie Jordan Years, was a magical time.
