Did i swear to nasty ebayer?

Mandles

Oh, this never ends! Awfulest ebayer this year now wants to report me for saying poxy!! She says i swore at her by saying poxy(i said "im hardly going to steal a poxy £8 when i have £50 auctions being sent in postal orders!").
I looked poxy up & it says something like small & insignificant ie. she lives in a poxy house. I often say poxy .I asked OH and he says his mum doesnt like it(she also thinks the word fart is rude though). Is poxy swearing??? Should i start worrying about the wrath of ebay????

you should clear your nose in their general direction and ignore the poxy ebayer!



poxy.... they can say pish on neighbours now!.... and bloody on the radio!
Poxy was never even a word you had to make sure your mum didn't hear you say!

Oooh, good word

I wouldn't say poxy was swearing. She's probably annoyed cos she knows she's in the wrong and is trying to wriggle out of it by making up stupid complaints.

Mandles

yes not bad. this is half hearted typing with one hand ..feeding baby with other

Mandles

thats what i think.Im gutted as i apologised if i upset her by making her feel stupid(which she is! doesnt listen,wheres my goods, wheres my goods?? ......you havent got them beacuse i havent got your payment!!aaggghh must have told her 10 times at least).Anyway, i did the right thing & apologised & she just kept on being nasty wanna take back my apology but biting my tounge.

I use poxy all the time - its not swearing. I never ever swear (no honestly, I don't) but use words such as blooming, flaming and if I'm in a really bad mood I have been known to call some-one a git. If some-one used poxy to describe something, I'd think it was small or tiny. I can't believe someone would get upset using that word - they must have a poxy brain!

i know im the same as you, i dont swear & was getting worried as i say poxy a lot.I would show her this thread but she'll see aht i have said about her!..poxy woman!!

Poxy is an insult, not a swear word. I'm guessing you know this, but it originally meant somebody who was infected with the pox (syphilis).
