coprolite Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 4 minutes ago, GordonS said: The "won't somebody think of the children?" line is good when people are pretending to care about the impact of something on others, when really they're just being selfish. But I've seen it used here today to describe people suggesting we might want to get some education out so that not so many people drown every time the sun shines, maybe include open water swimming in school swimming lessons, and that's definite moron behaviour. And I agree about having to know The Simpsons - I know the line and the scene well, but I never knew the character's name until I googled it after seeing references on here. Off this board I suspect hardly anybody does. Most people would probably think you meant the maverick antique dealer and take it as a compliment because he was a bit of a shagger. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't know what you meant there and had to google it. Ah. I must have missed that programme. I had thought it might be something to do with omnitwat Tim Lovejoy - as expertly sent up on Charlie Brooker's show: 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a non frequent poster it was funny at the start when I dipped in but now the patter has developed and morphed into it's own beast generally used by people that are too far gone on either side of the debate. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bully Wee Villa Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 6 hours ago, jimbaxters said: Take your point on it being a comparison but unless the recipient of the "insult" knows The Simpsons well enough to know who she is then it's not an insult. Seeing it written repeatedly on here hasn't given it any more gravitas. See also "gammon", despite that poster losing his head over it a wee while ago. I suppose the yardstick is when someone asks what it means then it is way too niche and therefore useless for anyone other than those backslapping each other over it's use. Also, let's be honest here, it has no place in the vocabulary of a grown man. The Simpsons. Probably the most well-known television programme in the history of the planet. "Way too niche". D'oh! 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
velo army Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 I used to watch the Simpsons loads, but her character is obviously pretty niche. Given the mentions of her name on here I thought she was some harpy of a daily mail columnist. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just don't see it as being any sort of insult to get annoyed about. Being absolutely honest it's very cringy, even childish patter which I only ever see in here. The ironic thing is that the people who use it the most are more hysterical screaming nellies than Helen Lovejoy ever was. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
