Can we ban the poxy word "brigade" on AH?

bodice ripper

Seriously though, banning the word "brigade" would run considerable interference on a lot of lazy argument. Also, it might stop me from having an aneurysm. Come on lads, it'd be amazing.

What happens if you need to relate a story involving the fire*******?

Oh look, it's the anti-brigade brigade.

Play To Kill

I hate the ban everything brigade.

The fire brigade brigade? I don't get it.

C.K Dexter Haven

Ha. A ban thread titled with the word they want to ban.

Rayne Wooney

OP is definitely a member of the high horse brigade.

Schnitzel Muncher

We will need an appropriate substitution for 'PC Brigade' before we can allow this.

Plus there could be health and safety implications - we wouldn't be able to say 'quick call the fire brigage, such and such is on fire tonight.'

Back to the drawing board I'm afraid, OP.

Call them firemen. Then the feminists can complain without fear of being accused brigadery

I should have included a series of mimes to explain which word I meant, perhaps?

LOI Stats

I propose banning the use of "poxy".

Yes you should have. Naughty naughty bodice ripper, saying the banned word:pac:

How about outlawing everything in OP's thread title?

Then it would be;

" "

Much nicer

Stop! Stop, will you?! Stop that! Stop it! Now, look! No one is to stone anyone until I blow this whistle! Do you understand?! Even, and I want to make this absolutely clear, even if they do say 'brigade'.

Can we ban the word "poxy" instead. Awful word.

If we keep banning words, then we'll have none left!

br you'll only succeed in becoming a member of the new 'PC Crowd' or the new 'Liberal Shower'. You can't escape.

Someday you may actually miss the brigade. Being in the brigade. "Wasn't it a lovely brigade" you'll say. It wasn't so bad after all. I miss the brigade.

be careful. If we ban brigade, it'll turn into clique.

What happens if you ban 'ban' first, how then would you ban the rest of the words.

Does banning a word ban any synonyms or are they still allowed? Are we allowed to create new words to replace the banned words or are they banned the instant they're conceived of?

Im sick of the "ban this phrase I dislike" brigade

What about water gate gate

No wait, wrong thread

As long as it's used within resin.

You could just learn to blank it out yourself mentally when it pops up on the screen.

I'm sure Keith Barry can help hypnotise you.

It's a useful term - and a good litmus test for idiocy. Whenever I scan through someone's post and see it, I know that the rest of their post won't be worth reading.

You mean censorship?

Peter The Pedo

Ban the word 'boarsdies' while yer at it, thanks.

flutterflye

I think the best thing to do to make everyone happy is to just ban all these annoying words. They are all overused to the extreme.

I mean a light-hearted thread in AH. Get Old Hippy in here too and someone will definitely drop the B-bomb.

Along with "liberals" and "do-gooders"

There will need to be a Brigadier-General of all these brigades. First one to the Cuckoo's Nest wins.

If terms like that were banned, I'd actually have to read their posts before dismissing them as idiots.
