From reading this lot
I think people have got confused:

"Childish",
adjective
1. of, like, or befitting a child: childish games.
2. puerile; weak; silly: childish fears.

"Twat"
1. derogatory term for a person whoose behaviour is considered to be extremely or intolerably ignorant, obnoxious, offensive or moronic: 'fuck off you twat'
2. cretinous person: 'you fucking twat'

Since well over half of these responses have bugger all to do with being childish and are merely yet more examples of unthinking/made-up cuntydom from the usual alumni of the Phillip Garrido school of charm.

Cretinous person? I think you might be a bit confused too..
"Cretinism is a condition of severely stunted physical and mental growth due to untreated congenital deficiency of thyroid hormones (hypothyroidism) or from prolonged nutritional deficiency of iodine." This is not to be confused with being a "fucking twat".

Arf...
Now that is childish.

Or is it pedantic? I always get the two mixed up...

Cretinism
comes from the mediaeval French Chretien, or Christian - the original sense of "pure" or "simple" came to mean "simple-minded". The medical definition was added later.

Cretinism is childishness of a sort - but it's more pejorative.

Couldn't have put it better myself.
Most of the stuff so far seems to be pranks, nastiness, and generally acting like a turd.

erm..
"and generally acting like a turd."

For an adult, would'nt that be deemed childish?

PS: You mom.

How many children have you been around?
Childrens' senses of humour tend to be somewhat...turdish.

In short, your attempt to take this conversation to a more refined plane is inappropriate.

Or -- stick it in your ear, you boogerhead.

Oh yes...
I'm rubber, you're glue, bounces off me and sticks to you. Nothing counts crossed. No takebacks. No paybacks. I know you are, but what am I? Mirror mirror, can't you see, it sticks to you and bounces off me.

Oh, and yo mama so ugly, when she send her picture into lonelyhearts.com, they send it back sayin' 'We ain't THAT lonely'.
