  • Retiring a Singletrackworld Trope…

    After reading this thread, I would like to put forward the suggestion that the following phrase:

    ‘Wee in his/her shoes’

    Should be retired, and replaced with:

    ‘Shit down his/her chimney’

    If the majority approve, I will get the details submitted to the ISO.

    Thoughts?

    Can we also change “owned with bombers” to “Owned with bummers”?

    Can we also swap ‘pulls up chair’ for ‘sits on toilet with a copy of the sunday sport’

    ‘Shit down his/her chimney’

    ‘poo down his flue’ is betterer.

    I was going to suggest going with ‘Word!’…ala 80s rappers. This would have the added bonus of appealing to those inclined to use the word ‘ghetto’ when referring to tubeless setups.

    ..but on contemplation, I think hear hear, is more suited to us Audi driving elites.

    No, it sounds like the sort of thing a wet lettuce mountain biker would do. Then you’d drag them down from your roof and force them to clean it up.

    You wouldnt mess with a bloke who shit down your chimney.

    Word! Hear hear!

    Poo down his flue sounds like a slightly edgy Dr Seuss book.

    Can we replace +1 with “hear, hear”

    Indeed we can, and, what is more, we shall!
    We shall also punctuate it correctly, using a comma.

    Huzzah!

    defecate onto his fire grate?
    release onto his mantelpiece?
    put another log on his fire?

    Innit?

    Can we also agree on a response to ‘Slam that stem’?
    I suggest ‘Go away quickly you crabwalking cockweasel’.

    Well, you should never pooh pooh a good shit.

    You know, if there’s one thing I’ve learnt from being on STW it’s never ignore a pooh-pooh. I knew a Big Hitter, who got pooh-poohed, made the mistake of ignoring the pooh-pooh. He pooh-poohed it! Fatal error! ‘Cos it turned out all along that the lowly forumite who pooh-poohed him had been pooh-poohing a lot of other Big Hitters who pooh-poohed their pooh-poohs. In the end, we had to close the thread to new replies. Morale totally destroyed… by pooh-pooh!

    Can I just say this thread is the first time I’ve ever seen (or heard) the word “Trope”?

    A poo! A poo! Down another man’s flue!
    Well that means there’s only the one thing to do.
    With a bucket and spade, and some pink lemonade;
    One must clean it away without further ado.

    Or the stench in the grate, it will linger ’till late
    Causing retching and gagging, a bothersome fate!
    You must clean it away without further ado,
    if you ever get poo through the top of your flue.

    So what’s the difference between a trope and a meme?

    that would be an ecumenical matter.

    I can work out how to pronounce trope from how it’s written.
