First topic message reminder :

Just wondered

lol check out the word c@:£ eyed- so wrong just cant stop laffing. People are so flaming wrong, yet i must be as well because i cant stop laffing at these words that others call others

Munt / Munter
(among whites in South Africa, Zimbabwe, and Zambia) a black person. Derives from muntu, the singular Bantu word for "person"[128] In the UK, the word means "ugly person", especially "ugly woman".[129]

you see i learnt something there, a munter isnt just a pig ugly bird.

sorry lol i have officially ruined this thread.

i will stop now and go to sleep

ok here we go down to the t's

Taffy or Taff
(UK) a Welsh person. First used ca. 17th century. From the River Taff or the Welsh pronunciation of the name David (in Welsh, Dafydd).[178] Children's rhyme: "Taffy was a Welshman, Taffy was a thief". Generally considered offensive[citation needed] when used by an English person, although it has appeared in such family-friendly series as Dad's Army, where it was used as a lighthearted nickname.

have a look at our history,, take a few wild guesses

Pot; for an Irish supporter who just took a blow to the nether regions this weekend, top marks for this post......

Wales is part of Great Britain. It's a British team. And has been for quite some time.

Whether you call them that depends on the context.

Wales is the only British team left in the RWC.
Wales is the only British rugby union team to have played South Africa in the RWC 2011.
Wales is the last of the British representatives in the RWC.
Wales has more than British players and coaches in its travelling party.
Wales was the last British team to win a Grand Slam and could be the first British side to win against New Zealand in a Rugby World Cup.
Wales do Britain proud in reaching the RWC semi-final for the first time this century.
Wales is putting the great back into Great Britain.
We're all so proud that a British team is still in the RWC despite the supposed dominance of the competition by Southern Hemisphere teams.
It's great to British players running with the ball and scoring tries compared to their kick-obsessed and defense-minded South African and Australian counterparts.
Britain is in with a chance to win the Rugby World Cup for a second time in less than a decade.
British teams are always there at the knockout stages of the competition, and could have another finalist in the comp by next Monday.

It's great to be British - look at the fantastic company you can keep.

This is the worst thread I've read in a long time.

We use Munter in NZ as well. Often wondered what it really meant. How interesting.
I'd support Wales over Aus if Aus beat us. Guess not as patriotic as most you Brits.

Munter= Cxxt that masterbates.

No, munter is another word for a minger. Basically, an ugly biatch.

Ask yourself what have you done to make your country proud of you? Or are you just bragging about your nationality due to the achievements of others.
I'm a Welshman who made a career in the British Army and do you know what that taught me ? It expanded my horizons it made me realise that yes we may have our cultural differences and not all of us would consider English as being our first language but at the end of the day a foreigner would have a hard time knowing the difference between a Sassenach Jock or Taff.

Well said. I may not agree with all your posts but being Ex Army myself I couldn't agree more. We were all rightly proud of our heritages & traditions in the army and we celebrated each others difference. I was proud to be English but I was also proud of being British and especially of my Welsh, Irish & Scottish comrades in arms who served along side of me.

I'm pretty sure I said this on the old 606 so I will say it again on the new 606...

Scotland, Wales, England & Ireland are like the fingers on your hand, they can all move and work independantly of each other, but only they only ever create their greatest achievements when they work together.

Is it okay if Wales is the middle finger?

As an English supporter myself, I think this transformed Welsh team is a beautiful thing to watch.

I am totally behind this Welsh team to go all the way now, and it looks like they've got the tools to do it. Good luck with the nerves Welsh fans!

Agree wholeaheartedly. Despite the local rivalries between our countries, after England, the next best thing for me is a British Isles team to win the RWC.
