realised that perhaps some visitors may have difficulty understanding
some of the words used in The Forum and other areas. So he has kindly
provided a sort of Dictionary/Lexicon. We all assume that the more
common expletives are readily understood, though "you bunch of armless
onanists" has yet to make an appearance!. | ||
