That pricked Tony's bubble.

Now Pete, don’t be so premature with your interjections.

Yes, "dirty" words have a certain kick to them.  Which comes partly from other people's impulse to tut about this puerile and boring behaviour.

On the other hand, as someone who is frequently Droneless Falling Off While Shouting "F***" Woman, I don't feel like I can lay claim to any of C***y Drone Man's special charm. Being foul-mouthed alone doesn't cut it.

If a person chooses to get their “kicks” by offending others, what does that say about a person?

Shouting anything whilst (repeatedly) failing on your current project shows a lack of self-control and is penalised in many competition sports. Frankly, I think people (inc. Ondra) should be embarrassed by such behaviour. It’s just climbing a bit of arbitrary rock. Get a grip.

Noticed Dave Mc did his long term project at 8B+ [Bultitude], and followed the trend of not telling anyone for a month. Will Bosi repeated in in a day a few weeks back and held off with that news until Dave released his. I had thought this would be harder as its taken him a long time.

M - lunch, TCA, 120 min, blues (7A to 8A). Tried 8, did 3, incl one flash, all the moves on 2 others. Tried hard, skin and body knackered after.
T - aft/eve, Cheddar, lion rock. Mainly belaying but got up Cheddar Death Knell (7b+) in a couple of goes, though I'd been on it once before a couple of years ago. Felt tough, but I may just have been still feeling the effects of yesterday's session.
W -
T - eve, TCA, 120 min, first session now they've changed to stupid (imo) by panel setting rather than by circuit. Finished the 2 blues from Monday, then onto the new stuff. Blues, whites and blacks, 6B to 7Aish. Tried 11, did 10, 6 flashes, 1 second go that I should have flashed, 1 took a bunch of goes but fine when eventually worked out beta, 2 others took a few tries.
F - skin and elbow sore so canned climbing. 12 hr night shift.
S - aft/eve, TCA, 90 min. Mainly trying 2 on the front, blue and black. No ticks but decent progress. 12 hr night shift.
S - 12 hr night shift.

71.5 kg.

The word 'c***y' was reclaimed by the queer voguing scene of the late 80s, and popularised in that idiom by Beyoncé's seminal 2022 album Renaissance.

So you’re saying UKB is a hang out of the queer voguing scene? Or that many users are guilty of cultural appropriation?

To be fair, I'm not sure Cunty Drone Man can be said to be "serving cunt." I suspect it would probably be more linguistically correct to say that he is "serving bouldering twat realness".

That said, that hasn’t been the word used on many occasions. Also, many posts in the thread, including the initial post, are fair enough. But quite a lot would appear purely for the titillation of their author, simply because of the word in question.

Had the word been “runt”, I posit that there would have been significantly less interest, despite being equally “euphonious” in any sonic sense.

Ferdia Earle has climbed Femme Fatale in Glen Nevis, a Cubby E8 from 1986. Apparently potentially only the 6th ascent in ~40 years!

Rebel Moon Part Two, as pretty looking and as terrible as the first, but now also featuring a coal fired space ship?! The amount of yes people around Snyder that allow this tripe through must be astounding; but it's been top 5 on Netflix for a couple of weeks, so I'm sure he'll be getting the cash to make another one.

Finch, which is on Apple TV. Tom Hanks on an oddly feel good post-apocalypse road trip.
Argylle, is amusing, if utterly daft, too.
