Once again merchants of Spring Garden Rd. have placed Christmas wreathes along the street and felt the need to be recognized for doing so by placing their names in the middle of them!! How much tackier can this street get?

Pfft. You juss jealous you can’t afford one!
It’s for a competition. Visit those stores, you twat.
-.-
Are people this retarded these days?
TBAC— Yes, people are that retarded. Just as an aside, twat is such a brit thing to say…
Yes, twat is such a Brit thing to say. And as a Brit, I will use it when I want and as I want ^.^
Twat is just a nice way of saying ‘cunt’.
Actually, TTFN, I always found ‘twat’ was much more ‘offensive’ than cunt. I say ‘offensive’ because neither offend me and I use both quite regularly…’twat’ seems so much more vulgar, though.
Dunno why.
Cunt sounds more graceful, like a brand of fibre cookies for grandmothers. Twat sounds like a baseball hitting the batter’s face. Twaaaaat! I like em both.
what about minge?
Only three comments in, and the thread totally derails. Nice work everyone! 🙂
Thankya thankya.
Actually, minge makes me laugh. I use it when poking fun at someone.
great, now all I can think of is the snuke…..
“No mingie…. no!”
Thank you Spring Garden Merchants for reminding me to “think outside the big box” this holiday shopping season. Your recommendations directed me online and to eBay. Shopping complete. 🙂
what is really tacky on Spring Garden road is the stupid people jogging/running and expect everyone to jump the fuck outta their way!
What the hell go fucking run somewhere else! Especially don’t try to run at lunch time when the street is filled with people trying to shop!
Sure you look great in your spandex and you give me a chub when I watch your tight little ass with the sweat stain running down your crack . . that’s so hot.
I agree with jesus love me on that one about the runners. Hit the nail on the head man – Really, a group of runners on SPG rd ? Get real thats nuts – plenty of places to run around there beside in the lunch hour crowd – bunch of nuts them runners . Well jesus loves me – how about this – lets get a huge group And i mean huge all block the running room entrance while we sit there and eat lunch ? Maybe they’d get the point ? Oh yea PS – buy local – or spg rd will go the way of barrington street . It might be tacky – ,but …… Its spg rd business associations way of having abit of fun while advertising and touting local businesses !!!! We need that and the business need that – whatever way they need to get business in is fine by me !
don’t ya just love fucking christmas time.when all the shills are out trying to hawk their crappy wares.
i love pussy myself, pretty kitty.
Here we are, the cultured ex Brits using such colourful terms as, minge, twat and the bad c word and then along comes sebastian asking us to
“think outside the big box” …..
I’m scottish I don’t get the brit words – is slit ok ?
A British “swear box” would list swear words in this order.
Cunt 2.00P
Fuck/Feck 1.00P
Twat 0.50p
All others 0.25p
FANNY! Weeee!
haha ok I got one – bottom haha
I grew up calling it a vagina, but when I first moved to Nova Scotia and used that word, my friends looked shocked. They called it a ‘bird’ or a ‘snickerdoodle’. When I moved to Dartmouth, they called it a ‘cookie’ or ‘doodie’.
My English stepfather called it a ‘frontside’ (he could be very prim and proper) but he called some women ‘twats’ (and he could be vulgar).
Until lately, I only heard men called it a ‘pussy’ (cunt was reserved for women they hated, and ‘pussy’ was also applied to men they looked down on).
People whose first language is not English must get very confused (and must make some grave errs trying to apply these names in the appropriate place: “Excuse me ma’am, but your cunt is trapped in the tree.).
haha I so forgot “bird ” thanks for the reminder HKM haha
snatch…
vertical smile……
cooch….
vajayjay….
see how long andy takes to find this thread and close it…
The most tackiest thing about SGR is D2 with its pretentious queers and clerks that can barely speak a lick of English. The panhandlers still suck also but I guess its Christmas and obviously ”my” job to make sure some scammer has (more than) enough money to get beer, drugs and pay their rent.
Beef curtains!
Also: like THAT comment is gonna stay up, NGFatso.
If kay wrote the comment it would stay up. But, no, since its NGF it’ll get deleted as usual.
iNGf’s is still there i agree with it – “meat curtains “
meat curtains?…ew.
bearded clam
snapper
box
Yeah, I can see that this will be a very long day for Andy…unless he just nips it in the bud (no pun intended = ) and suspends comments = p
beef curtains! that one always gets me chuckling….
kinda like the peopleofwalmart guy with the “Fart Loading” shirt…
heh heh….
I have to agree about D2, though not for the reasons fat said.
I just can’t believe anyone would actually buy (and then actually subsequently WEAR) a $250 pair of jeans.
what in the flying fuck is woven in that denim to make it worth a car payment?
okay guys,how about my all time favorite”ball buster”.
Good points, zZz. Honestly: why pay $250 for pants?? This isn’t New York, London, LA or Milan. Halifax is so pretentious sometimes. The D2 ads look like snap-shots from a poorly written SNL skit from 2019.
Actually, all of this euphemism talk reminds me of a poorly written SNL skit from 1995.
Would Andy Sandberg be funny in 1995? I still don’t get that guy.
“”Good points, zZz. Honestly: why pay $250 for pants””
Agreed.
I’m reminded of a court case back in the UK. A supermarket chain called Tesco was selling “Levi” jeans in their stores, at a slight loss, for 25 quid. Levi’s sued them, because the regular “high street” price for the same jeans was 50.
Tesco’s said “Why shouldn’t we be able to sell people these jeans for 25 pounds?”
Levei’s said “Because people don’t want to wear 25 pound jeans – they want to wear 50 pound jeans…”
Levi’s won, and Tesco had to raise their price.
Levi’s suck ass.
wow, I was going to make a sly comment about marketing-101 but I see what’s happened here. Nice to be mentioned in EVERY SINGLE THREAD! Bitches.
only showed up after 38 comments… that’s gotta be a record
and no, we didn’t miss you.
Yuck. Glad I’m gay. All those names put some scary images in my head. Show me dick.
I love how threads deteriorate on here . . now time to go find myself some beef curtains to snack on.
Oooh my fav is squish mitten. haah.
I prefer faith flower. That’s a good one.
There’s a little show called Drawn Together, for those who have heard of it; you’d understand that it’s a euphemism gold mine.
Is that still on?
I figured they’d be canceled after the first season….
do they recast every season with new characters?
and I HAVE to remember squish mitten…. HA!
Nah, it’s been canceled for years, but it did make 3 seasons. 3 gloriously inappropriate seasons.
now we have venture bros and boondocks to keep us company.
