Title: poll: which monicker do the primitives seem to prefer?
Post by: franksolich on April 05, 2014, 11:51:21 AM
Okay, the third and final of the once-quarterly, now semi-annually, polls to gauge the effectiveness of the DUmpster.

Which monicker seems to find the most favor with the primitives?

NOT the nickname that one uses oneself, but the one the primitives appear to like the most.

"DUmmies" needs no explanation, and it's by far the oldest and most popular; it seems used mostly by decent and civilized people who read the primitives for amusement and entertainment.

"DUmors" was suggested some years ago, but never gained any traction; it was suggested for use by decent and civilized people who see the primitives as some sort of great malignancy on the body social.

"Proglodytes" is reasonably new, and appears to be used more and more often, which is good, as it's a most-apt term to describe the primitives.

"Primitives" is pretty much self-explanatory, and used by decent and civilized people who examine Skins's island with an anthropological eye.

I think the one that draws the most ire is "primitives", followed closely by "democrats". 

"Proglodytes" is hilarious, but it's too big of a word for most primitive minds to comprehend, so its full effect hasn't struck them yet.

Proglodyte is the best one.  :-)



accurate) term of abuse/contempt/description for an unthinkingly reflexive and personally unpleasant leftist shit-thrower. A diagnostic term, to distinguish the over-medicated NPR-listener, the slobbering burn-out druggie, the perpetual undergraduate, and other leftist menagerie members from their most vocal exemplar.

Something went wonky with your link, Dori.  Here is one that at least works for me:

And I voted "the primitives don't like any name we call them".

They are the self-proclaimed "smartest people on the internet", and only think that the names we call them proves that we are right-wing bullies.

Well, piss off, DUmmies!  :bird:

Wait, I see what your link is now.  It is the merchandise page where you can have the definition of "proglodyte" emblazoned on a mug, t-shirt, or other item of your choice.  It's not a bad idea.   :-)

I voted for primitives.  I can vaguely remember a democrat underground thread--I think it was a thread about the pineapple headed primitive--where they were discussing being called primitives here and some of them were pushing the idea that the term had racist connotations.  And everybody knows how much they love any opportunity to play the race card.

They don't like any of them regardless of the accuracy of description.
They think they're "to good".

I would prefer to call them "dead".

Yeah, but I've always been very careful to make the distinction that 98.6% or 99.2% or whatever it is, the percentage of primitives of European derivation on Skins's island, of the primitives are not of certain, uh, politically-correct ethnic or racial derivations.

They're overwhelmingly white.

The only thing they share in common with the sorts of primitives Margaret Mead studied in the South Seas, is that they mutilate and decorate their bodies, wear skimpy clothing if clothing at all, adorn themelves with all sorts of grotesque jewelry, and have suspicious, mean, menacing expressions on their faces.

But other than that, they're about as white as the Big Zero's mother.

No racism in the term "primitive" at all.

DUmmie is best.  Anything else is window dressing.

Anything name, other than one that describes them as the bestest, most especially specialest, ultra-sCiEnCy, model of perfectness, is loathed by the primitives.

Good.  I hope the disgusting little thieves, beggars, imbeciles and infantile half-wits feel miserable until their exit from this existence, which I hope is gruesome, painful and serves no purpose whatsoever.

Can you put 'worthless shit stains' on the list?

That'll work.

If I knew which name they prefer, I would studiously avoid that name.

I prefer to call them (in order of preference):
1. DUmpmonkeys
2. Proglodytes
3. Primitives
4. DUmbshits
5. DUmbasses
6. DUmmies

"DUers," which is ridiculous, because the word looks like an elephant with a long trunk.

It wouldn't matter what name any of us would use. They (the shit-stirring, bad speller, lousy storytellers can't stand the fact that they are watched by us and these worms can't turn the tables. That's what really gets their panties in a wad.

I prefer Dummy; DUmmies and poster child for prophylactics.

You know, I always wondered if the primitives ever resented any of the screen-names we give them, such as "Fat Che" for Ben Burch or "Cryano" for Cyrano or "Skippy" for NYC_SKP.

But if they don't like those names, it's their own damned fault, being s-o-o-o-o-o-o unimaginative in making up their screen-names.  I think our names are more reflective of a particular primitive's character and personality.

Who cares how they feel about 'em. They got their nicknames the same way they got them in grade school.

Get caught doing stupid stuff, get called chicken-f*cker for the rest of your life.

Well, since "DUmb****s" wasn't on the list, I chose "primitives," but I kinda like BadCat's choice as well.  I do agree with Ralphie on BadCat's choice.

I will can them any of the above, but I suspect they would prefer it if I called them master, lord, or savior.

I believe the DUmmies don't like any name we call them, so I take the liberty to call them whatever I feel like calling them on any particular day.

The less they like it, the better I feel.   :-)

I didn't see "democrat" as a choice. I know they hate that. I think I have seen variations on that like DUmocrat.
