hahaha

i love that one of the words on the board is arse in english!!!

eeefktard | 7 Mar '08, 11:17 | Send note | Report this | Reply

and its not the word 'ars'

strangely enough

can any other DiSers speak welsh?

Not enough

to recognise most of those words.

Yw in the top corner roughly translates as "are" doesn't it though, and I think Cath is Cat. I'm guessing Arth is arse?

Shouldn't there be a Cardiff one and a Swansea one?

Or is that what you mean?

They don't have enough obscure letters

so they made some up.

colinzealuk | 7 Mar '08, 12:18 | Send note | Report this | Reply

im welsh

they are mostly made up on that board

eeefktard | 7 Mar '08, 14:25 | Send note | Report this | Reply

I love the way....

The welsh language creates more letters in their alphabet by joining 2 letters together...genius!

I learnt welsh at school for 6 years...we never had welsh scrabble...grrrrr!

Hilarious

There's no way that FFWFFW (top right) is a word in any language!

nebbie | 7 Mar '08, 12:31 | Send note | Report this | Reply

i don't know about that

but cwrw is a word, and a damn good one too. they do love their w's.

whiterussian | 7 Mar '08, 12:37 | Send note | Report this | Reply

Cwtch

Is a good 'w' word too. Liberal sprinkling of y's in the language as well.

colinzealuk | 7 Mar '08, 12:43 | Send note | Report this | Reply

I can see

mongloid and sodomy on that board.

Ocy1612 | 7 Mar '08, 13:09 | Send note | Report this | Reply

My favourite one there

is fisting (dyrna). Hehehe.

PossiblyMaybe | 7 Mar '08, 18:03 | Send note | Report this | Reply

Also

Tinwr = Bummer.

I like how both arse and penis are joined up with the same letter. It's just like real sex!
