    Pervert - SouthernScouser/ZTD/NAGH

    I'm not a pervert...I simply get asked to insert my vulgarity with regularity.

    Besides, I prefer the Kubrickesque term "Prevert"... ;)

    Back to the topic (:rolleyes:) I missed the term "Wombling"...

    Just found this thread whilst lurking on the DFW board (I like to visit to remind myself to stop spending money I haven't got) anyway I think it's great. An afternoon well spent I think IA!

    Can I suggest adding the terms secured / unsecured? I work in a bank and seriously a lot of people don't know the difference.
