It’s fun. I’ve got a pretty thick hide and it’s only the internet after all. I seem to have a discovered a new sub-sub-species though, the gammon snowflake who is offended by being referred to as gammon. Do I win a prize?

Do I win a prize?

For being last, maybe, it has been clear to everyone else for ages that gammons can give it out but not take it.

Oh 🙁 Not even a badge? Nothing fancy, just a little enamel affair would do.

Gammon baiting is easy, just don’t be white or be married to someone who isn’t white. All the lunatics come out then and ask you or your other half where they are from and tell you what they think about every topic under the sun that is remotely connected to where you are from.

“Oh, I see you are from Asia – you know these Chinese – stealing all of our patents – that has to stop”.

“Why do you eat dogs?”

“What do you think of Kim Jong Un/Duterte/Japanese Tentacle Porn”

etc etc

To really wind them up, introduce them to something that will enrage them. Like foreigners being better educated than they are, foreigners with money, foreigners doing buy to let and renting to British working classes – you get the drift.

There was someone in The Metro the other week wittering on about “gammon” being offensive.

How I laughed.

See the Tommy Pay Pal thread.

I like to engage and enrage by talking about unelected foreign bureaucrats telling us what to do and them making us put our prices up.

Then I start ranting about Geneva and the WTO and how our government have surrendered to the Swiss of all people.

wearing an anorak seems to turn gammons into snowflakes

You can play this both ways too. Pick a local well-healed Tory voting gammon enclave. Join their ‘What’s on in…’ Facebook page, then start posting sympathetic articles from the Guardian about asylum seekers not being rapists, but actually thoroughly lovely people who rescue ickle fwuffy  kittens from trees

Followed by a vegan cake recipe

Then join the ‘Whats on in Chorlton’ FB group and say Jeremy Corbyn is a traitorous commie who should be shot, and these vegans need to stop their snowflake whining and they’d be a lot less uptight if they just had a steak

Then sit back and have fun flicking betweeen your two new identities 😃

Oh… mentioning the regularity of wheely bin collections will cause both groups to go instantly thermonuclear. For very different reasons, obviously. Great fun!

Every two weeks! We’ve got two kids and it’s not even a very big bin..

Have you tried chopping them up?

Winding up Gammons is fair enough, but can we clear something up?…

The original meaning of ‘snowflake’ as an insult was to take the mick out of people who thought they were somehow unique or special, or that everyone is unique.

But many didn’t understand that and saw the word being bandied around at lefties and thought it meant being easily offended or fragile.

Time is short before the original meaning is lost forever. Please help.

They got the win.

You lost.

They drag you down. And the next generations.

Yup. Feel smug with your little phrase chaps.

Please note I said ‘they”.

You are Tony Hancock in The Blood Doner and I claim my pint of AB negative

I think that fits the average age profile here nicely 🙂

Rhesus? That’s monkeys isn’t it?

Remember when one of those Alt Right types got a punch in the gob a few years ago? I thought it might be fun to pretend to be black and say I saw nothing wrong with smacking Nazis on a popular social media site. Page upon page of the nastiest ‘n*gger this and co*n that’ comments followed, for days. All I did was reply to comments for quite a few evenings, enraging them even further.

They’re too easy a target though. It’s like trying to anger a wasp, you can do it without even realising you’ve done it. Buddhist baiting would be a lot trickier and actually has a nice ring to it. Ten internet points if you can get the Dalia Lama to tell you to **** right off.

I once saw a nun call a small child a **** **** rag

Well for someone that preaches acceptance and freedom from desire he batters on about freeing Tibet an awful lot. And if he’s so sure about reincarnation why did he run away to India.

I saw one bite a man once. Quite a nasty nip if I remember. Should have got the fish out of the bucket a bit faster.

Whilst I disagree with the views of “gammons”, I think if you have to resort to an insulting name for the people who’s views and opinions you disagree with then you are a bit of a **** yourself

Well there’s the definition of irony right there.

I was aiming for irony, but hey… the

**** snowflake!

Will angering Anglicans do?

I got told I was a **** by a curate a couple of years ago. They’re now a vicar, but might still be annoyed with me.

You enjoy baiting people?

You do mention a specific group of people (and fairs far with that) but the fact that you enjoy baiting people says more about you than those you are trying to wind up. Cant you find any cats or other animals to taunt.

We have gone from earnest discussion in an attempt to change peoples views to finding the best catch phrases to aim at each other to both appeal to and get kudos from those with the same current beliefs and denigrate random strangers who disagree with us on certain subject matter.

No wonder the Dalia Lama’s mad.

^ ha @ tthew

You enjoy baiting people?

No, not enjoy as such, I suppose fun was the wrong word to use. It’s more of a morbid fascination with just how awful one human being can be to another and not be able to take the same in return.

Gammon’s arent people.

Interesting. I too thought it was about being fragile (melts easily). Just don’t get me started on people using “sea change” to mean a step change.

You can play this both ways too.

I suppose if you are really adept at dual-identity trolling, you can feed the comments, dogma and opinions directed at one fake profile out of the opposing fake profile.

Dalai Lama is just upset cos people can’t spell his name right

Yeah I’ll stick that dahlia up your bum if you’re not careful stewartc

Absolutely none of us can hold a candle to Theresa May

shes just exploded the biggest ever gammon bomb, up & down the country they are necking whole bottles of statins as their blood pressure rises

Gammon baiting for me is encouraging them to speak their nasty little englander minds- pointing out their racism and views on immigrants are complete bollocks is my response and/or finding which EDL site they cut and paste from ghen askimg them for statistical data/evidence. They tend to shut the **** up at that point or get shouty.
