Peeps on this forum are using the word carp when they wish to express distaste in something...meaning that something is actually c*** or s*** and i wish to express my disquiet at this misuse of a very beautiful fish's name....my river here is full of these fish and very elusive they are too.....so please can we think of another word such as .........(thought of a few but they were all slightly dodgy or offensive!!!)

Oh I don't know, I've added it to my cool words list along with bored beans!
The original word originated from Thomas Crapper I believe who used to manufacture toilets?
My Majesty made for him a garden anew in order
to present to him vegetables and all beautiful flowers.- Offerings of Thutmose III to Amon-Ra (1500 BCE)

I think it is more of a mis-spelling of the word carp.....I'm not convinced it is a word that is ofter used in that sense.Originally posted by Jardiniere View Postsigpic�Gorillas are very intelligent, but they don't have to be as delicate as chimps -- they can just smash open the termite nest,�
