New Year's resolution for the whole forum.

How about we do away with the hackneyed, meaningless and trivial/drivial words/phrases:

"End of" "Fail" and "MTFU"

And probably some others.

Suggestions?

These are often deployed as if they have some ultimate power of ending a discussion, when clearly all they do is mark the utterer down as moribund of ideas. They devalue any comment in which they appear, so maybe we could do without them this year?

what does MTFU mean?

Man The F** Up

"pulls up chair"

thread closed

I don't see "end of" as meaning the "end of the thread" as you apparently do. I see it as meaning "end of the point which I am making" or "I have nothing else to add" or "that's it in a nutshell" etc etc.

I use it occasionally in everyday speech, and can't see the problem with it. What I do have a problem with is "period". We have a perfectly acceptable term in British which is "full stop". So there is no need to speak American.

Unless of course you happen to be a Yank – in which case you are forgiven.

what does MTFU mean?

Similar to DTFU but without the dog.

STFU 😆

I think the forum needs more octoporn

not sure i agree with this.

plus i use them in real conversation* etc so i feel they are perfectly valid interjections.

* i am well below the average stw age of 38!

Epic thread fail

You are a Troll and I claim my £5.

I love MTFU. it makes me laugh everytime. mind you, so does farting!

Freedom of speech exists on here too, to a point.

DaddyPig, you're not alone: MTFU said with tongue in cheek is always funny.

So is farting.
