Do any members have a catchphrase? Name and shame.

Ones I've noticed:

vile - oh for the love of god, get a new word.
wurk it - but I think it's overused for the point of being...gimmicky.
troll - does this word even have meaning any more? I'm just as guilty as anyone of overusing it - but I don't even think it's a legitimate insult now. It can mean anyone looking to cause forum agitation. When it should mean someone who solely causes forum agitation.
epic - see vile.
legend - far too diluted now. When you belong on a site where Marcus Akin and Stacey Solomon are described as 'legends', you have problems.
fail - Again diluted - seems to be used now even if you make a typo...
this - I'm guilty of this. LOLOL. But seriously...repeat offenders need to be more interesting.
:') - **** off with this emoticon! It's a forum where it's not even a shortcut you daft slags.
don't be silly - being silly = being immature and supercilious, not disagreeing with your stance.

Novo is the best Ben imo.

Even if the name Ben reminds me of my bumchum I had at school.

Everyone thought we bummed each other. Like thought we were in a relationship with each other. :(

It was really strange when he stayed at my house one night and I saw gay porn on his phone. I didn't expect it to say the least. He's engaged to a girl now as well.

I'd never tell anyone. That would be nasty. Well, I did, but only friends at the time.
