YACF Memes?

[Wascally Weasel]

Box/bag of Stab  (was that Greenbank?)

Grinking (Julian)

Too many too mention (Mr Larrington)

[Andrij]

It's all Thatcher's fault!

That's not a meme; it's just true

Definitely!  Four times on my commute this morning I had pedestrians look right at me then step out onto the road in front of me. 
Damn you, Thatcher! *shakes fist in a threatening manner*

 

[clarion]

Well, one could argue that the destruction of co-operation and the placing of the primacy of individual greed in the market place as the accepted and principal mode of social interaction is associated with monetarism.

[LEE]

I just tried to invent some new Phrases, with a view to generating a YACF original meme:

Cock-Hobbit - It's out there already.  Damn, let's get childish..

Spung-Bungler.

I can't believe it, there's a bloody definition for it on the web.

So, my last chance... "Hummerfied" (I thought this could be the act of being Hummered (covers a wide range of acts))

Nope, I was beaten to it, and I kid thee not....

Addictionary :: HUMMERFIED
noun, The emotion experienced when witnessing a major player in the battle against gay rights coming out as gay

[Pancho]

I picked up the 'chain's a bit slack' meme from uk.rec.cycling (along with marmite and kitchen pr0n) ages before I discovered YACF.

I'm disappointed - I captioned a picture of my new bike once with the words, "here's a picture of my kitchen" and I thought I was being original. Then again, it was a bloody long time ago, so maybe I was.

Thinking about it, the "chain" and "kitchen" memes you mention seem a bit visual for urc?

[Deano]

Oh that and "It's mostly downhill from here", which will probably only make sense to those in the North

I'm pleased to know I've contributed.

[rogerzilla]

Even cockwomble isn't original 

Old Ecclesiastes was right.  There is nothing new under the sun.

My coinage of 'Fraudax' made it out into the CTC mag, but I don't think it got much further.

I am grateful to Andy Gates and Mayor Larrington for bringing us prose so richly laid with neologisms, although I have to resort to Google Translate (From: Gates To: English) to decode much of what is said.

[Palinurus]

I use fraudax; describes my fixed commute bike perfectly.

[Palinurus]

And this very morning I set my Dinotte to Grub mode.

[rogerzilla]

Surely there is more of an unhealthy obession with sporks here than on any other forum?

[TimO]

Chutney is probably a YACF Meme, if people would only use it more.  Still, with Autumn just around the corner, the roads and paths will soon be covered in the stuff.

[mattc]

Surely there is more of an unhealthy obession with sporks here than on any other forum?

Good one, very true.

[assuming you ignore camping fora]

[woollypigs]

Oh yes I remember that day nearly two years ago now. Right now it is the conkers that are around on the roads and as TimO said chutney is soon to come.

[Cudzoziemiec]

Wow, round your way they cover the roads in a slightly spicy but cooling coconut relish? Amazing!

[woollypigs]

yeah it is very slippery.

[Eccentrica Gallumbits]

Surely there is more of an unhealthy obession with sporks here than on any other forum?

No, we talk about them a lot on the BAOT forum.

[TimO]

Wow, round your way they cover the roads in a slightly spicy but cooling coconut relish? Amazing!

Yes, and it's made out of wet squished up leave remnants.

[hairyhippy]

C*ck sucking donkey rapist?

The number one rule of Autaxing is:

Under no circumstances make eye contact with another rider.  If an accident occurs and you end up in a conversation, try to bring it to a premature end with a horrifically boring recital of all the turns and junctions of last weeks 200k

[rogerzilla]

There's also the bus shelter/skinflint/horrible petrol station food things.

[Wowbagger]

The number one rule of Autaxing is:

Autaxing: is that the intersection between audax & autism?

[itsbruce]

To be honest, the word "meme" went from being a challenging concept to a cliché so quickly that I dislike the very word intensely.   It's used as shorthand for all kinds of concepts that people can't be bothered to discuss properly.

[Hot Flatus]

Care to propose an alternative word, then?

[Jaded]

I didn't think a meme was a challenging concept.

It's a memory gene isn't it, a uint of memory that is passed around and down through generations?
