slagging: a mechanism of an emotionally repressive society

Duggy747

Slagging between friends or just random people in the street?

You might have a problem if you can't distinguish between friendly banter and outright bullying.

Have to say I'm awful for it. I slag everyone, whether I've just met them or I know them well.

I never take offense to anything, and need to realise that others aren't always the same.

Never got into trouble for it, don't think I ever go too far but I find the line with people and I play off it.

I say the first thing that comes into my head, I say whatever I think is funny. Never any malice behind it or anything. I hope I've never offended anyone.

I hate people who slag people but can't take it themselves.

I remember when I got into a fight with a guy over something like this:

Him: "Hey Dug, your mama is fine!!"
Me: "Not as fine as yours!"
Him: "THE FÙCK DID YOU SAY ABOUT MY MOTHER!?!"

Maybe he was just hard of hearing??

"Banter" is fine. But bullying does have consequences and not all people have tough skin.
