MegaSack DRAW - This year's winner is user - rgwb
We will be in touch
After reading [url= http://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/and-you-thought-the-inner-tube-tosser-had-some-cheek ]this thread[/url], 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 [url= http://www.iso.org/iso/home/standards.htm ]ISO[/url].
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'
<SOTWACOTSS>
+1
Can we replace +1 with "hear hear"
'Shit down his/her chimney'
'poo down his flue' is betterer.
hear hear
I fear change
Hear hear to your suggestion though Jamie.
Poo down his flu 😆
Hear hear
Can we replace +1 with "hear hear"
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.

'poo down his flue' is betterer.
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.
Hear hear to Word

[s]Word![/s] 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!

Poo down his flu
I can see a problem with this one - no one will spel it rite
Word to Huzzah!
Well, you should never pooh pooh a good shit.
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!
Huzzah!

Supported but more an RFC than an ISO standard?
Just don't drop your kids off on the hearth.

😆 😆 very well done
heir heir!
I don't want to shit in anyone's chimney, it doesn't sound v nice.
Can I just say this thread is the first time I've ever seen (or heard) the word "Trope"?
Poo down his flue sounds like a slightly edgy Dr Seuss book
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.
(missing verses from "The Cat who sh@t in his hat")
[i]Trope[/i]
It's what climbers use in Yorkshire.
hth.
shirley it should be "here here"..just more relevant somehow...
+1 for "shit in your chimney"

No, I'm sorry, there isn't time.
Ok.
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.

I believe "meme" is pronounced as a very inbred, upper class twit would, when calling for his mother: "Memmy"
[al jolson voice]
meme
[/al jolson voice]
yes, that worked.
I thought meme rhymed with gene.

Note to self: Never commission Molgrips to write me a rhyme.
....I will still consider him to lay down a phat beat, though.
"here here"
"what what?"
Meme is pronounced like "même" as in the French for "same".

Word
Shit in their chimney is punchy & gets my (irrelevant) vote, but doesn't have the moderated subtlety of wee in shoes.
Plop down their pot?
I'm sticking with trope.
Smite with Pikes?
Meme should be pronounced so it rhymes with orange.
Me-mange?
I thought it was proncounced meem
Meme is pronounced like "même" as in the French for "same".
hehe... good one.
brakes has it - mainly because the pronunciation has been determined by US tech punditry types...
I have nothing sufficiently witty to add to this thread, but I would like to say that it is very good.
wwaswas - Member
Me-mange?
Precisely.
See everyone? wwaswas gets it...
Surely Audi drivers would cry "hören, hören,"?
'Stool in his stove' or 'lay one in his log pile'
Chimney defecating is the new 650B.
Weeing in shoes is plenty good enough.
You knows it.
Weeing in shoes is plenty good enough.
Sorry. You can't stop progress.
Does pooping in a chimney bring the flames alive?
It's deffo supposed to rhyme with "Gene", and it predates the internet use it is associated with today by quite some margin.
The word meme is a shortening (modeled on gene) of mimeme (from Ancient Greek ?????? Greek pronunciation: [mí?m??ma] m?m?ma, "imitated thing", from ????????? mimeisthai, "to imitate", from ????? mimos "mime") and it was coined by the British evolutionary biologist Richard Dawkins in The Selfish Gene (1976) as a concept for discussion of evolutionary principles in explaining the spread of ideas and cultural phenomena. Examples of memes given in the book included melodies, catch-phrases, fashion, and the technology of building arches.

And surely :
I think I'll leave the profanities here for the day [early start, I know].
