If you can add a new word to wikipedia and give it a reasonably innocuous definition does that mean you can use it in the work place or polite conversation?
There is currently no Wiki entry for:
"Twunt" : A person with a contrary view often backed up by irrelevant, untrue or mis-applied rules.
For Example: 'You can't chain your bike to that bike holder it is illegal as there are double yellow lines on this road and you don't pay road tax!' may result in the following retort 'Shut up you twunt!'
Any other useful words and definitions?
Anyone want to add them to wikipedia?
This is what Urban Dictionary is for...
Nope. You'll most likely have it deleted and be blackmarked for vandalism.
Plus definition of words should really be something for [url= http://en.wiktionary.org ]Wiktionary[/url], not Wikipedia.
Why would you want to add a word to a US web site? They struggle with English as it is!
Strangely the Edinburgh Defence is still on Wikipedia...
What is the English equivalent?
I just want some kind of defence in case I get pulled up on a disciplinary. "Look Guv, he may have taken offence but that is because he didn't understand what the word meant. I wasn't being rude, just providing feedback. It is clear what I meant, it is even listed in the dictionary/internet"
It is a made up word to get around internet swear filters, being a portmanteau of **** and ****.
But then you already know that, don't you
twunt has been around a lot longer than the internet
No, I sincerely believe that it is a valid word meaning : A person with a contrary view often backed up by irrelevant, untrue or mis-applied rules.
Both me and the union rep will swear to that if necessary.

Fame at last!
As the originator, I feel I should be credited somehow. 😀
And I still haven't received any commission from the sales of 'Pastry Positive' t shirts. 🙁
Wiki suggests "jme1973" was the originator, yet your profile address suggests a DoB of '69 - are we to believe you? 😀
To everyone else bar you, your rep and Jeremy it's a cheeky inoffensive swear word. But good luck anyway!
coffeking, I didn't post the Wiki entry, but did come up with the phrase, whist attempting to take the piss out of Cynic Al in a thread on here some time ago. 😀
'hora' used to be on Wikipedia. He's gone now, though.

Ahh, fair enough! Internet stalking over for the day 🙂
radtothepowerofsik - MemberIt is a made up word to get around internet swear filters, being a portmanteau of * and *.
[pedant mode] It's not technically a portmanteau, as the meanings of the two words that have been compounded are not merged to create the meaning of the new word. In this case it wouldn't be possible to do so in any case, as they're both pejorative terms for the same thing. [/pedant mode]
Yep, if you want a sweary portmanteau then you are better off with "cunstard" 😀
then you are better off with "cunstard"
As found in particularly vulgar trifles. Best not ask about the 'cream' or the 'spongy jelly'.
