mma is a made up martial art.

[Transk53]

I am not going to go into discussing MartialTalk polices in depth on this thread as that is not what the OP started it for. You are welcome to conversation me and we can talk via pm.

In the meantime back to the OP regarding mma being a made up martial art.

Keep everything polite folks. Thanks it is appreciated!

Yeah would do, but no point, minds seem have been made up. Thanks for the reply though

 

[Brian R. VanCise]

Yes, minds are made up for polite discussion on the martial arts with no individual, style, system being given any personal preference.

As always Transk53, I and many others enjoy your thoughts here on MartialTalk and look forward to hearing more of them.

Yeah sure. Perhaps I may post something of relevance some day!

 

[Steve]

Of course Brian you are correct. However, something still ain't right around here, however much Steve agrees. I should not get an infraction for calling someone a twat, that is not even a swear word!

I think you should consider looking that word up on urban dictionary. I think it's far more offensive in the USA than in the uk. It's a pretty vile word around here.

 

[Transk53]

Then that takes it out of context. I don't care if it is offensive to you. I am a Brit, for us that means idiot to us! Live with it!

 

[Steve]

Whoa, transk53, that's a peculiar reaction. Where is this aggressiveness coming from?

Yeah sorry Steve, I looked at you as being an arsehole, but just the Whisky talking. Yes I stupidly used Christmas day as a excuse, hey as I had got inebriated more than I realised, I got a little moronic in my behaviour. Rest assured, any issues, it would be face to face, not behind a keyboard

and the language filter will only pick up the American spelling.

(do we have a language filter?)

 

[Transk53]

Yeah, sorry. Thought the language filter would have picked that! I keep forgetting that what we Brits use in a lesser fashion as it were, can be real offensive. Again sorry guys and girls.

 

[RTKDCMB]

(do we have a language filter?)

Everyone should have a language filter.

 

[Dirty Dog]

Just an FYI, we do have a language filter, but it does require that each word to be blocked be entered into the filters file.
On the other hand, I think we're all grown up enough to use our OWN language filters, which would make the software irrelevent.

I would point out that the word 'twat' in the UK is not a swear word however it's perceived elsewhere, David Cameron, the Prime Minister uses it in speeches, the last time he was talking about twitter and the poet Robert Browning uses it in one of his poems 'Pippa Passes'. However it or how any word is perceived depends on location but you can't blame someone for using a non swear word where he is and it turns out to be a swear/dirty word somewhere else. Look at 'fanny bags' for instance rude here not rude in the US. Perhaps a sticky with words that shouldn't be used, not swear words but words perceived by different people to be, the word 'feck' is used here a lot, it may sound like a swear word but certainly isn't, it's an 'Irishism' one of many words that are cleverly changed for everyday use, it's heard being used by politicians, public figures etc and even royalty here in public. It's an acceptable word here so as I said perhaps a sticky with unacceptable words to all continents.

Over here in Australia the word 'twat' is the name of a certain lady part with the a in twat making an o sound. That is probably why some people may take offense to it

Indeed, I think I heard that when going to see Australian cricket team versus England , and of course the word 'fanny' here has the same meaning of being a certain lady part. Cultural differences should be taken into account before shouting the odds about words, I've seen Americans call someone a 'berk' not realising I imagine it's Cockney rhyming slang for Berkshire Hunt, I don't need to spell that out. This is why I think a list of words that have cultural differences would be useful.

 

[Transk53]

Well I would that it is now clear that I didn't mean in that context. A insult for sure, but I would not use sexually sounding language. And yes, that also has the same meaning, or at least one of them here also.

Now tbat we've completely left the op I'll chime in. My "tween" daughter watches Dr Who and a bunch of other British shows, she blurted out the word twat in a restaurant recently. I laughed hysterically, (knowing my daughter doesn't curse,at least around us) that she didn't know the word was very bad. She explained she heard it on a show and I had to explain how bad it is over here in the US. I think the list of words like this is very small, now we're all educated. No need for a special dictionary, but that could be fun if only to increase my vocabary of swear words. Name calling swear word or not is pointless (except for comedy and only lowers the value of discussion. Ignorance is no excuse, as a friendly discussion forum name calling and insults are unacceptable Transk53 should learn and move on. When you can see an argument isn't going anywhere move on, I've done it before here. Believe it it not I used to think very differently about martial arts and Internet discussion and reading opinions contrary to mine actually changed my views. A lesser man might have moved on and continued in his blind beliefs, I talked and discussed and eventually things changed for me. I can only hope that others will at least consider differing opinions and seek logical reasons as to why they are wrong. Question everything you are told and "know" with good reason.

lol. Be a funny list.

 

[drop bear]

By the way fanny and twat have the same meaning here.
