Well you know what LOTUS stands for?

Postby rip » Thu 15.05.2014, 18:35

We have all heard this pathetic, uneducated remark. I have been trying to think of an alternative to slap back at the next prick who quotes it to me. A remark from Enright on his latest project thread has prompted me to post...but I think I would get a slap if I hijacked his thread with this :lol:
I can think of several words for most of the letters but cannot make a snappy phrase. Can I have some help please?
I will start by listing what I have

L Lack
Less

O Of
Old

T Tosser
Thought
That

U Uneducated

S Stupid

That's given me one already. but I don't like it enough:

Less Of That Uneducated, Stupid!

I'm sure that between us on here we can make up something a bit less offensive, more true & maybe more amusing?

In line with Rip's request for something less offensive, I put forward the words twat, uwanker and shitforbrains for consideration.
