New Boris Johnson Football Chant

I hate the c word but with that many singing you can bet it's heard in most of the ground.

 

No, my wife would tell that to men who say women shouldn't swear or men shouldn't swear around women

 

The old Ronnie Moore song could very easily be adapted to fit Johnson. No c### in sight and only 2 wan.kers and one tw.at. Scans as well!

 

You can't always make our individual words in chants though so at a distance if a kid didn't know swear words they wouldn't pick up on duck and lovely person.

 

Comparing BJ to 'lady parts' is , frankly, highly insulting and totally OTT,,,,, to all 'lady parts' everywhere

 

I agree with your post , I find it disgusting to be honest when language like that is being belted out , to me football fans are capable of creating some very humorous chants & songs without having to resort to crude & offensive lyrics .

 

Are they showing support for the song trying to reach number 1?

 

I was told "a lady only swears when it slips out " Helen.

 

I do find the use and offensiveness of words quite strange.

Using the term fanny is hardly offensive but yet the use of the C word expletive draws gasps of shock from some quarters. The use of **** is probably a half way house between the two all for words describing the female genitalia.

The use of the C bomb is far more prevalent North of the border, indeed a number of my friends use it as a term of endearment, he’s a good C.

Then again that might be specific to me. in terms of the chant it made me chuckle, simple yet effective. Similar in many ways to how Janey Godley welcomed Trump to Scotland.

 

I’m certain it wasn’t particularly offensive when I was growing up and I’m not sure where all the gasping in shock about it has come from. I seem to remember it being used in a kind of endearing way as in someone being called a ‘daft lovely person*’.

Edit: the swear filter even changes the letter c followed by 3 stars to lovely person! Although, as there’s still a star in my original post does that mean c and 2 stars is changed to it? Test: lovely person

Edit 2: yep, c and ** with no space is changed to lovely person. The swear filter can’t spell.

 

Agreed. You expect swearing at Football but with kids around I don't agree with loudly chanting the C word.

 

Suppose it depends on the circles you mix in. It has always been a word used only in extreme cases for myself people I know.

I do remember a particular track on Derek and Clive Live (Peter Cook and Dudley Moore) LP that comprised pretty much them repeating "F*****g lovely person" for pretty much the entire track in a Cockney/Essex/ East End accent, a parody two blokes conversing in a pub which caused a bit of a furore. Opinions on how funny that was were very polarised!
Personally the only time I normally utter expletives is for pain relief if I have cut, burnt myself whilst cooking or hit my thumb or trapped my finger when doing DIY (curiously research has proven a good swearing outburst suppresses pain receptors) . Otherwise IMO over-use of swear words in normal conversation tends to indicate a lack of vocabulary/imagination in people who do so. The odd swear word in comedy is certainly valid but I found overuse unnecessary. Billy Connolly was a very funny comedian but resorted to expletives to much it devalued a lot of his humour. When used sparingly it made a lot of his observational humour even funnier. That though is just my opinion.
