Why use it at all, he could have displayed his displeasure without it.


Someone irks you, you tell them why - no real need to reference much else.


Seems the person on the receiving end isn't bothered so no need for the publicity really.

Well there is a freshwater fish with a Y on the end as an alternative but that would be considered worse by some I suppose.

I have no idea what one gentleman did to upset the other, so it wouldn't be fair of me to couch in in my own words.


I strongly advocate the use of 'Cad' to return.

OK mamy, so basically you criticised something without offering an alternative and not having a clue what you were talking about anyway, right oh, just as long as I know.

It's just a form of sledging. It happens in many sports, even gentlemanly cricket ...

Check these out, especially #12! (warning - contains offensive language)
