Title: Forum Taboos
Post by: Forycles on August 04, 2009, 09:45:32 PM
I've noticed how if I even type the letters F-U-R-R-Y on most forums, the ceiling falls on my head.

The question is, what other ideas, phrases, words, etc. have you found to be taboo?

And, yes, I expect you to be mature about this and not drop the ceiling on each others' heads.

I generally find asking people to list taboos to be somewhat taboo.

As in, why don't we find a topic to actually discuss here.  Or I can close the thread.  Whichever.

I do know one, but it tends to get deleted the moment I write it for some odd reason.

I was actually thinking this could be a reference list in the end, but apparently I expected too much.

So, yes, please close it, or something. I don't have any other subjects to pull from my hat.

Unless someone else wants to try to take creds and the reins of this thread. >_>

It doesn't _look_ locked to me. I mean, I can still post here, right?

Perhaps we need to throw one of these on it?

:locked

But most other people can't.

Ah.  Well, the problem there is that unless I'm much mistaken it's not in any of the lists and so only people who have memorized the mnemonic for it will be able to use it.  Which I haven't.

... I'm not most other people. Should I be worried for them? Or just smug?
