@very-rusty saidNames don’t mean much to me, but Biffo likes to call them and “plonker” is one of his favourite put-downs. He’s utterly slain me with it on more than occasion, I don’t mind admitting ... chortle chortle.
Biffo Plonker had a nice ring to it is all.
Doesn't even look like a name to me, unless like I said it is some British slang thing.

And then one day, what do you know, I looked and lo I saw that “plonker” rhymed ever so well with “konker”.
I gave myself several slaps on the back for that one, I don’t mind telling you.

@very-rusty saidEnglish slang aside, it is certainly akin to 'dumb,' something you repeatedly alerted Trev for calling you.

Truth be told, you only object to name-calling when you are on the receiving end.

From goad's response I take it is British slang for something.

@ghost-of-a-duke saidI have no idea what you're talking about goad. What do you think I alerted that trev said? Hell I can't keep up with all the alerts you think I put out.

@ghost-of-a-duke saidYou keep doing that you'll have no nose left, must be pretty flat by now! π
Facepalm.

@ghost-of-a-duke saidWell you are a bully, a clever one who needs a little gang, but a bully none the less.
I was a little worried I might be bullying you.
Probably stems from childhood.
@very-rusty saidYour understanding of 'bantering' is on the same level as Dive's understanding of 'altruism' or FMF's 'pseudonym.'

@divegeester saidI'll take the cleverness.

When I said yesterday I was invariably three moves ahead of you, your response was 'that's irrelevant.' (Not even any attempt to refute the assertion).

@ghost-of-a-duke saidActually wrong again goad.

@ghost-of-a-duke saidI am sure you are just trying to stir the pot goad.
