KWANZA

:Graucho

Seriously someone ban ownd or owned or any variation. Im so sick of it

I have to agree with "lol". I can't stand that.

banned words

lmao

owned

breaking news (on gfy that is)

Oprano (oh wait, its already banned :) )

Shit, its not banned anymore? Or is just his board banned?

I'll add: "roxxor".

Of course, all of these words have a second life in the world of ironical usage, like calling Billy Bob Thornton a "metrosexual".

pookie

OWNED like Battus said... this should be replaced with HAHAHA

and

Michael Jackson

"Are everybody's sales down?"


...for the last time NO! It's just YOU! Diversify.

potpourri

dont ban bling-bling!

'Like' used far too much in recent years!

Breaking news

cuz some people are posting stupid useless news sometimes here.

Not only that, every time something major happens people think they are the only one watching tv and open a thread about...while if they took 2 secs to look they would see there are already 5 similar threads on the mainpage.

I second this notion

Please don't ban BLING BLING... now there's no words to describe dudes with gold cap teeth :winkwink:

it really wasn't a notion . . . . . more of a motion

It's teefs, not teeth.

Thanks, man, I should watch my mouf

'your' when intended to be 'you're'

I won't mention Pookie if you stop mentioning motorcycles. They're too manly.

this board is testimony to the power of the English language. even dutchies like Battuss HAVE to write in English because if he wrote in his native language very few people would understand (and it would look silly). English is THE global language. so, for the sake of the English language we must ban poor use of it!

deal, I will add p00kie, pookie, po0kie, and p0okie to my BT to see if you keep up your end of the deal :winkwink:
