I've been conversing in USENET, online forums, and other Internet based discussion areas for many years, and quite often things can get out of hand and immature, making the experience less than rewarding. Granted I have been responsible for some of those flaws but still those are my observations.
Anyway, I just have to say this is one of the most well-behaved, mature and need I say classiest groups around! Glad to be a part of it, albeit a small one..!

Sometimes I miss him - very occasionally he was utterly hilarious.
If only he had refrained from being a twunt.

Hmmm... This is too easy. Some of us, including myself, meet most of these criteria...

Think it was made popular by b3ta.com (my other favourite forum)

It was used a few weeks ago on the TV show Rescue Me as a combination of cunt and twat. It was not well received by the one woman on the show.

Bizarrely, the women I know are split almost 50:50 on that c word. Some hate it more than anything, where others like it far too much (!)
But all find twunt amusing!

I bet it's a lot like "nigger". If people within the affected community use it, it's okay; if people outside that community use it, it's not.

Yep. They call it suburbia. bah-dum CHING!

I find the women who are most offended by it tend to be the ones where the shoe fits. Types like the clandestine hooker (says they don't care about money, but refuses to be self supporting or contribute financially to the relationship in any way. Watch her run if you lose your job!), the kind that get accidentally pregnant on purpose for their own percieved gain, the flat out gold digger, the ones from the cunt school of feminism (I am your equal. Which means you go out and make all the money, pay all the bills, then come home and do at least half of the housework, after I spent all day shopping or sitting on my ass. I am also above criticism, no matter how many remarks I make about men being universally useless, because that would be misogynistic), the kind that get really upset about finding out a man, any man, regardless of her relationship to them, thinks there's some woman out there more attractive than her, or the bitch who stands in front of a jewelry store window talking about how she needs to find a man to buy her that stuff (no, what you need a job or a better job), or the ones who constantly bitch about how they hate rich people, yet read Vogue religiously. Basically, women who know their only worth is as a set of orifices. I can't think of any self sufficient, competent woman I know who is offended by it for more than half a second, if at all. There are way more offensive things you can call women.
By the way, I'd volunteer to fill the troll position if the profanity filter gets turned off. I have no real knowledge of electronics, but a love of insulting people.

Yeah, most of these epithets are just name-calling, with some sort of implication at best (worst?). You need something descriptive if you want to really offend people.
