This is part of the abbreviations thing - certain 'words' automatically get changed. This is to prevent foul language being posted but has also been used to assign abbreviations to some names.

Beat you Mandrake!

by **Mandrake** » Jan 28th, '04, 12:54

I would swear at you but it won't let me!! :twisted:

Lol right, so bum ended up with b um.

Ok good idea but surely only if people know about them?

and I note that I'm not HT

by **bananafish** » Jan 28th, '04, 13:01

oh. But you are HT :wink:

by **Mandrake** » Jan 28th, '04, 13:01

B um was what he asked for so he got it and the abbreviation for Mog is MOG (sorry - it was Mog's joke, not mine!) Will see if HT can be arranged for you (assuming Nick hasn't got in with it first!).

by **Mandrake** » Jan 28th, '04, 13:01

Which he has - nice one!!

by **nickj** » Jan 28th, '04, 13:05

I can't claim that one I'm afraid!

The only thing is that it causes problems if you actually want to write b um, which of course you wouldn't because it is a crude word, you would naturally use deriere or posterior or *rse.

by **Mandrake** » Jan 28th, '04, 13:17

How did you manage to use *rse? Blimey - must change that one sharpish!

nickj wrote:'Tis all BaBaBoom's fault, he wanted an abreviation for his name so people didn't have to spell it our all the time, he suggested that he was BaBaBoom Ultimate Magician and so got the abreviation b um, others you can use are m dk for Mandrake, m dm for MagicDiscoMan, b f for Bananafish and b w for Boywonder!

I am indeed truely bum

edit-dammit b um, oh and I'm something else but I can't remember what it is
