I mean, it's not like you have to read his posts, I've not read a single one by him, I just tried to read that new one 'cus of the attention it got on here, got up to a load of words begining with 'b' that was a euphanisum for his penis, and thought "Fuck that" and came straight back here to tell you that.

I have gotten used to reading Britspeak and have gotten used to the strange euphemisms that appear on the QOTW for various things, so usually I glance over them and translate them to English in my head and keep going. It makes them easier to read, somehow. Not just his posts, but all of them.
It's a bit weird, though- the people who are popular and get a lot of votes on a recurring basis seem to draw a lot of ire. First Legless, then Pooflake, then SpankyHanky... I guess I just have a higher tolerance for wordy posts than most.

that "Britspeak" and English aren't one and the same thing.

until I came to this site I had never encountered "todger", "mimsy", "spam purse" or any of the other dozens of odd phrases used for anatomical bits or various sex acts. Since I've been here I've learned a lot about rhyming slang and the other oddities that infest British English that the rest of the English speaking world don't seem to bother with. It takes a lot of effort to translate it, frankly. So Spanky's terminology is not much of a stretch for me to understand and translate.

Not what I've heard.

I find it really unimaginative, like Might Boosh, lolrandom and lolwaki isn't my cup of tea.
I don't mind wordy as long as the words add something to the story, and I find meaningless similies that are written just for the sake of fille, dull.

"badger twunts" is not an effective swearword. Not like "fucking cunts" is.

if it rolls off the tongue then perhaps fair enough, but they usually don't
