If you read and post somewhere regularly
you get to know the people involved, and also jokes, terminology and references that the casual observer might not. Whilst that may give an impression of exclusivity, to my mind /OT is not deliberately cliquey, merely the result of associating with the same people over time.

For example, you might not know what I meant if I was to call you a shirter, but others would, using their highly developed 'shirtdar'.

It's not personal.

I concur!
Anyone who's reading this who's unfamiliar with OT, Monty speaks the truth, and I'm not just saying that because I'm a fucking chicken and am terrified of him, although I am

Thank you.

I'm not scary, surely?

terrifying

I've heard you're actually very fetching
I think the word fetching was used.

I suppose that's preferable to 'felching'

Oh...maybe that was the word
or perhaps that was just what someone wanted to do to you.....

Ha! Fetching I may be,
it's my personality that is deficient....

But as we all know
this is almost a requirement for this site.

I'm terrified out being outwitted and/or humiliated in a reasonably anonymous internet environment
It's a very specific phobia. So rare that I am yet to make up a name for it, although shirtophobia is out in front at the minute.

I'm here to confront my fears, live on the edge. Because bungee jumping is for crazy people

Who are you?
And what have you done with the real Monty?
