'Feck' is not a swear word.

Well, it could be if slang variations of swearwords is also against forum rules. But after asking my accountant who told me to do a search it appears you might be right.

EDIT : Actually thinking about it you are right but when used in the phrase feckwit it's a more acceptable replacement for ****wit so is clearly avoidance of the swear filter.

Feckwit is simply a portmanteau of 'feck' and 'wit'.

Presumably, our new CUK language police would have us stop using the terms 'mad', 'insane', 'demented' and 'manic'.

Nah, unless you put '****' before or after it.

EDIT : Which is edited out even with u swapped for @ so to bypass the swear filter I have to say feck. Point made

Does that mean we have to say goodbye to this little fellow?



First it was Bob, now it's little nodding smiliey. So many victims of PC'ism.

Avoidance is legal, surely?

Can't we just call them brexitards, and no one with any intelligence is offended?

Mods! Mods! Some Remainer has hijacked Dim's account.

Fair point. I thought we were in Acc/Legal for a moment...

AIBU - using terms from mumsnet will result in being called a cretin. Persistent use will lead to having a user title of mumsnetcretin being applied.
