Young man (I think I'm on safe ground there - you are at college aren't you ?):total_recall said:Stotty Cakes and pissflaps
The use of the word 'pissflaps' has been debated at great length earlier in the thread.
As Herts, our esteemed colleague, mentor, guru, sifu and spirit guide pointed out to us earlier in the thread, everything depends entirely on who says the word and how it is delivered. Marshall McLuhan pointed out, "The medium is the message", and this is no truer than in the case of "pissflaps".
When The Jarra Wanderer delivers the word "pissflaps" in his own unique way, it has very high comedic value, to the point where we fall about laughing irrespective of its context or relevance.
When you or I say it, it is but a spectre of a palid pastiche of the delivery of the great man. It becomes vulgar, offensive and highly distateful.
If this is a one-off post, please take your "pissflap" talk elsewhere. Alternatively, may we welcome you in reading this thread from the very start, and joining the rest of us on this epic journey of discovery. (I've discovered, for instance, that Cockney Mackem never goes outdoors, and looks at porn all day).
And no stotty cakes without decent boiled ham and pease pudding please. And remember to seek permission from Mackem Angels before disseminating pease pudding, as I believe she now owns the copyright on the recipe, in much the same way that Michael Jackson has copyright on all Lennon and McCartney's works. However, the recipe she uses involves onion, which is utter bollocks, so you'll probably be safe from the threat of legal action anyway.
May the Force be with you.
