T'other day, a housemate and I were having a conversation. I mentioned that on that day a car drove up to me, stopped, the window opened and some Asian rudeboy shouted out "You fucking Fraggle" and sped off (Newbie note: I have long hair, innit).

Anyway as the conversation went on, I displayed disgust at some subject or other, and said housemate misheard me. He thought I said "That's fucking friendly, that". I didn't, but lightbulbs appeared.

So we had an idea....

Since all the yoots of today are so into their funny words, we thought it would be funny to try and introduce "friendly" as a replacement for "fucking" or a word for "shit". Like "shit", in fact.

So imagine this. Someone walks down a dark alley. A thug comes out with a knife...

"Give me your wallet you fucking friendly cunt"

Also, I'd love (in a sick way) to be told threateningly, that I am a "Friendly Fraggle"

It's a bit like the whole "bad meaning good" scenario.

You could have 'sweet' instead of 'shit'.

'Give me your friendly wallet, you friendly sweet!'

Or:

'This idea is sweet...'.

"Friendly sweet"

I remember reading a letter in Viz once, something like:

"Wouldn't it be strange if many words suddenly changed their meaning? It would seem bizarre to say 'I'm just going to put my clothes on the washing nose'"

and for some reason that really tickled me. Instead of making up words or even the whole "bad meaning good" thing, just change the meanings of random pairs of words. From now on, A website is a type of fish and IamCal is a halibut.

I'll never look at Friendsreunited in the same way ever again...

... and I'd suddenly feel a desire to watch 'Friends' again =]

And "Friends, Romans, Countrymen, lend me your ears" takes on a whole new meaning.
