Ice Czar Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 OK you bunch of scurrilous ninny-hammer flycatchers, the challenge is simple to conduct a flyting contest (a contest of insults, one with a very long cultural tradition) without tripping the forum's word censor or violating the "bad words" rule. This is a good-natured contest of creativity, extra points for the historically obscure, immediate disqualification if any XXXXX's pop up in your post. Crude vulgarity, the pornographic and common swear words are obviously verbotten. Style, meter, and a rapier wit count. Lay on you sly knaves :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ice Czar Posted December 17, 2008 Author Share Posted December 17, 2008 Sir do you take me for an object of derision or deride my method of mirth? My mirth is Gargantuan! don't you realize that a mirth like mine is both food and water, a monument to me superiority? A great laugh is the banner of a great man, a generous heart, a towering spirit, an expansive soul--such as I unmistakably am, and such as you dare not to dream of being, with your bilious weasel's laugh With your mirth as lacking in all distinction--as lacking, I say, in interest, as lacking in pride, in imagination, in honesty as in lyricism. :p :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
divermike Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 Your mirth I deride not, however your girth creates merriment. Twas nose twiddle I directed at thee, Be not thee a wiper of other peoples bottoms, I throw my shoe at thee, (sic) it is certain a pebble shall lodge in thy sandle. May copper infest your nuetral zone, and thereby render your already meager efforts, furtherly innefectual. The guffaw you have been assailed with comes from my retreat with an exposed Glutius aimed in your general direction. Oh thy ignorant knave, beset me no further lest I taunt you a second time!!

Glenn Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 Flyting - Merriam Webster a dispute or exchange of personal abuse in verse formFlyting - Wikipedia is a contest of insults, often conducted in verse. The word has been adopted by social historians from Scots usage of the fifteenth and sixteenth century in which makars (makaris) would engage in public verbal contests of high-flying, extravagant abuse structured in the form of a poetic joust; In Germanic cultures, the convention can be detected earlier, for example in the confrontation of Beowulf and Unfer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
