Poll question: Do we really need a new mild term of abuse/affection?

Edited on Wed Mar-03-04 09:38 AM by TXlib

I think 'dingbat' says it all.

It has a nice Orwellian doublespeak nature about it: it can be both a mild general term of abuse OR a mild general term of affection, sometimes even simultaneously!

3. Lynn and TXlib are trying to change something that doesn't need changing.

It's the DU Lounge blue ribbon. If you're a dingbat, it's a badge of honor. Leave it alone.

9. Yes, but dingbat is specifically

Robb's term and possibly Edith Bunker's term. If you're going to fling terms around like the arboreal poop tossers y'all probably are, - you need a new epithet to hurl with affection. I recommend "DU-Heads."
