Short for bog-trotter, which the Jackeens use to describe the Plain People of Ireland.
A word about forum etiquette

Err on the side of proactivity for now, just so we know what annoys you, and you can report it with the caveat that you are just pointing it out.
Is there a different standard for this in say The General then say in the Current Events or Football Forum? Obviously we all know a good deal of insulting takes places in The General but the vast majority of it is good natured and almost really part of the point of many of the bizarre discussions that take place there. In the Football Forum and Current Events it does not carry this good natured feeling.
Everyone needs to be more like Damien.
Beep.
The general is a cesspit, beyond help. This is about the Footy forums, there should be the same amount of respect as is demanded in the CE forum where much more sensitive issues are (mostly) handled in a much more mature manner.
Thanks, that is what I thought, just wanted to be sure before I insult Liam again.
This is fun. It just takes a little longer to express a very negative opinion on someone's posting but it may lead to more creative critique.
See? Improve yourself and improve the forum in one go. That was a good post in the Fabio thread, btw.
Pretty much yeah. Means you're from the country. Another word for them is culchie.
It is meant as an insult and to wind people up. That's quite obvious. Exactly the sort of rhetoric that's being described in this thread.
the term has never been used toward myself but I've seen it used, it riles things up and is the exact type of crap that is driving some posters out of the United forum. But, you disagree, so let's move on.
Damien doesnt actually exist. We are all Damien.
Yeah, but that post was aimed at Alistair and there's a clause in the OP that says it's OK under those circumstances.
This thread's really brought the old gits out for some reason. I reckon most of the newbie types are too nervous to post in it.

Actually reported a post today. Felt like a grass but if it'll improve the forums for all I'll keep doing it.
This place gets more like primary school every day: Miiiiiiiiiiiiiiiisssss... little Johnny said 'bum'.
It was a lot more than "bum" that made me. The person I reported was bang out of order.
Can't we just have 'sensitive' on people's tag lines who can't insult? Then we won't confuse them with the others. Surely they are the minority..
OK, but that was Al's tagline for a year, which was clearly the transgression. But we're not banning you lot for retrospective posts so maybe afford us the same ?
Also, reported posts are private for a reason. Public trials on the caf tend not to be the best way.

OK, but note that 'End of.' is far more annoying in my opinion.
I was on my phone and was just trying to convey there's not nothing else to say on the subject.
Yet here we are ...
You told me to me to highlight it so I am.
This thread is brilliant.Haven't posted in here yet, but i feel like i should say something. The word gimp has made it's way into my own real life insult vocabulary, so i feel i should give credit where it's due. In the general it's a laugh but i agree the FF should be cleaned up a tad.
Let's hope it won't turn out into MMORPG style "Reported"
Sounds good!
Ok I think this thread has served its purpose.
Close shutters!
Close shutters!
OK, I meant by reporting them, and I did use the word report earlier.
