    Whenever i log in all i see is scumbag this and scumbag that

    i honestly think most of the users of this forum are from D4...thats their favorite word for people poorer than them

    'Oh he bumped into a fella and was obviously drunk'.....must be a scumbag!

    loada BS, i know some PROPER scumbags that do **** you dont wanna know about, but if you scratch your arse on the bus you're a scumbag according to some boards users

    end of rant!

    I agree that it's a bit overused.

    What really bugs me about that is that it's reduced the meaning of the word, which used to be quite wide-ranging, allowing it to be used for all manner of arseholery.

    I think we should make an official distinction between the words "scumbag" and "skanger."

    Bloody scumbags, ruining a perfectly cromulent word like "scumbag!"

    It's probably "the" or "to" that is used most. But "scumbag" does get used a lot also. Bloody scumbags everywhere!!!

    I havent noticed the word scumbag being over used but I kind of agree with your D4 point. There is a lot of snobbery in AH. Unfortunately thats the joy of the web, I think. It's harder to avoid the people who bug you here than in the real world.

    Knave, scallywag, varlet, rogue, villain, or even scoundrel. Dickensian sleight.

    Bint is another one. If a woman does something stupid she's invariably called a dozy bint or something similar.

    Is the club Tripod full of scumbags? What about Dandelion? Also, what times do both clubs close, and will they be packed on a Wednesday? What's the usual gender ratio of each club, particularly this Saturday and next Wednesday? How young are the crowds there?

    You would think that of all places, the Humanites forum would have a more academic and philisophical approach to the whole subject.

    You'd have to see it relative to the amount of posts made. I mean if AH gets more than 10 times the posts of Motoring then you might be pointing your finger at the wrong forum.
