James Cleverly’s unpleasant turn of phrase

Popular with the tory faithful and quite possibly the next Conservative leader, welcome to his thread.

Ewwwww…

Jesus.

Much as stories like this are appalling I see this whole "fuss" it as confirmation that the whole levelling up thing was focused on areas that voted tory - towns that voted Labour got nothing.

 

[krtek a houby]

What a horrible, violent word. Been quite some time since last heard it.

I think I prefer the time is up thread titles

Indeed, I may put this one on ignore

A proper hit with the laydeez

Mind you, he was clearly a shoe-in for the Tory party.

Yeah, misogynistic contempt.

Related to - but not quite as bad as - axe wound.

I think you win the thread.

Yeah, it’s pretty bad eh.

Spoiler: another insensitive good old blokey expression

some friends of mine had or planned a band called meat curtains

 

[Humberto]

What a horrible thread title to see on Urban. Cleverly a nasty sleaze though.

It's all about context. Surely we're not looking disapprovingly at The Slits and their choice of band name.

A band comprising of females. Anyway I leave you to it since you're nerdy edgelords.

 

[Humberto]

I don't know what the fuck 'Pobitch' is by the way.

It's not my thread. But there's a danger here of people getting upset on others' behalf, no?

I'd not really rely on 'Pop Bitch' for such a maneuver. Sorry maybe I'm unneccessary here. It was only today people were doubting it was 'shithole'.

You gotta allow that axe wound is bad though.

I can imagine a heavy metal band made up of women could name their band Axe Wound and it be pretty cool. The actual band Axewound though, not so much.

But blokes referring to womens’ sexual organs as an axe wound strikes me as objectively violent and misogynistic.

Which is kind of the point of the thread title, no? I get that people don't like it. But it's not posted approvingly. I'm a bad person, I think, as I couldn't care less about the thread title.

Well the thread title was the point in the discussion.

 

[story]

I think the point of the thread title was to get people to read the thread. Which is supposed to be about James Cleverley isn’t it? And his inappropriate language when (probably) drunkenly talking to a woman.

According to Pop Bitch no less

 

[Humberto]

Oh sorry I meant to say point.

Still recall being really shocked when I first heard these sort of expressions and I didn't exactly grow up as Little Lord Fauntleroy or in some super right-on household, but we had the minimum of decency and respect. Poisonous.

V high proportion of male posters so far on thread. Would expect an array of different views from female posters.

Just in terms of reactions to differernt terms, I mean. Not so much with regard to James Cleverly, who I expect may be knockin’ on heaven’s door when it comes to flirtations with the urban laydeez massive.

 

[sparkybird]

I have posted before about the prolific use of cunt on here to describe someone utterly appalling. Which really fucks me off.
How lovely to have part of my body used to describe the indescribable.
What a bunch of cocks you all are

 

[sparkybird]

FWIW I didn't have a problem with an all female band calling themselves the Slits.
