TWTD Glossary 22:08 - Mar 12 with 5950 viewsmonytowbray

Was just thinking after referencing Burnley earlier that happened YEARS ago with a former poster. I expect some posters newer here must get confused often.

So, let’s say someone needed to study TWTD’s history for a TV special, and you had to summarise a TWTD exclusive saying or contextual quirk in relation to it’s origin/meaning, what would you say?

TWTD never forgets…

I think you have got me confused with someone who actually gives a feck.

Lucan's train journey - you really had to be on the forum as that one unfolded though. Perhaps we could have one of those crime scene recreations based on it one day.

Friday dump thread: Consistency, ease of passing, ability to discuss subjects at the boundaries of social mores with maturity and poise - but enough about Matt Holland's time at Town - the Friday dump thread gave posters the opportunity to relate excrement of total grossness in attempts to outdo each other in appearing at death's door in the performance of an everyday task.

Fish puns - why do we do it? Why? You get sucked in but there is no enjoyment in all these tedious word associations; however it just takes one and then they are all over the plaice.


Well you are a Dab hand at it.

‘Technical’

Adjective

- involving or concerned with applying a more scientific and modern approach

See ‘progressive’ and ‘the most important term football’

Closely related words - ‘entertaining’, ‘modern’, ‘tactical’, ‘overload’, ‘breaking the lines’


Technical - anything Mick McCarthy doesn't or didn't do.

Reporting a poster to an organisation that looks into that sort of thing - a menacing threat that has evolved into a vain attempt to discourage rampant ageism.

I dont think there has been a definition of "Def Info' yet - def info


'Def info' - grown men coming out re still having imaginary friends.

'Ipswich Hospital' - the only permitted workplace for future managers' partners

Pablo or Shefki - TWTD law forbids members to have more than one fav striker at a time. This law is currently archived as N/A.

'We always play better in snow'. Well we did, once, against one club (Leicester) about 10 years ago, thanks to one player, Jason Scotland #Legend, who scored a brace in our 3-0 win in blizzard conditions at PR.

It really was. You had to be there. Well, 7 of us were.

Question is though, can you name all 7?

Rubbish joke Tuesday - I think it was ArtsBossBeard who instigated this way of corralling terrible jokes into one weekly thread and thus cleaning up (slightly) the rest of the forum. The recent deterioration in quality of posts could, therefore, be put down to not having this TWTD equivalent of fly paper as a regular feature anymore.

[edit] changed 'bad joke' to 'Rubbish joke', before someone pointed out that 'there is a difference, you know'.

Change the record - used to be necessary in threads when some posters never seemed to read what was posted and kept banging on about the same thing, I think there was even a 'changetherecord' username. How delightful that the forum is now completely tolerant of the views of others, gives each post careful and considered judgement before a reply is posted and that there is not even a hint of polarised opinions.
