I think we can all relate to this but probably from many different perspectives.

I came here thinking this posting and video clip was about homosexuals!
Could you please be clearer when you post your messages Louise?

Why? Doen't seem to bear any relation to what I can see, the title of the post, or anything, frankly.

Sorry, being a bit dim, but does ANYBODY (other than seven year olds in the playground) still use the word poof on a regular basis? Okay, however-many poofs and a piano perhaps, but surely on a science message board, whatever the original title, one would be more likely to mis-read it as proof that otherwise............................Or think about whisky (MMmmmmm, Glenmorangie..........).........Or even mis-spelt living room furniture....................
And as far as I know, female homosexuals not referred to as poofs anyway. Dykes, yes, but poofs, no. Very geological, especially intrusive dykes.................

...does ANYBODY (other than seven year olds in the playground) still use the word poof on a regular basis?... It is a favourite of nay's, as a matter of fact. Along with a number of other rather outdated words that are generally regarded as derogatory by the people of whom they are (or were) used. If challenged, nay usually claims (or it is claimed on his behalf) that he is being ironic at the expense of the politically correct, though no-one has been able to explain satisfactorily how this works. It is suspected that he just gets some sort of unspecified thrill out of articulating dubious words most people don't use any more - it's like the thrill of knocking on doors and running away.

"Poof" is a bit out-dated - I prefer "pillow biter"....or "shirt lifter". Doesn't "dyke" refer to those strange wimmen in dungerees as opposed to proper lesbians one finds on the internet in stockings.

Unfortunately it also demonstrates her abject stupidity, a stupidity that many do not see, buried as it is under a carapace of stupefyingly pedantic grammatical exactitude.

Auntie NEEDS a man to wallop in public! I'll take issue with foolish and ill-informed posts wherever I find them, marchesa. But I think that, now that I've filled in a little background for those to whom nay's obsession with this topic comes as a surprise, I can safely leave him to carry on making a fool of himself.

There is no end to the stupidity of some people. Thinking proof is poof and is funny really is at the level of a five-year old (and a dim five-year old at that!). Like kids who giggle when they meet someone called Willy.
But some adults can be equally stupid, like the lads who shout lesbian when me and my wife walk past, and think they have been soooo daring.
I don't know which group Nay belongs to, but either way its not exactly a recommendation.
