I would imagine the men of penis tone to be quite tone deaf.I've got a friend who lives in Penistone, South Yorkshire. I took great delight in ordering her some personalised stationary (back when letter writing was a thing). Apparently it's pronounced Penny's Town but in our house it's always Penis Tone.
A public an I know plans to open another micropub post lockdown. He has set up a Facebook poll to name it. My suggestion is currently well ahead. We could soon be sat in the Turtles HeadI used to live by a pub called Cock & Seaman
I've never seen a penis belonging to a man from Penistone. I wonder if any celebs come from there? They are called PenistoniansI would imagine the men of penis tone to be quite tone deaf.
I think we should arrange a Tattle night out there as soon as it is legal to do so. I'm hoping he gets beer mats and glasses with the name on.A public an I know plans to open another micropub post lockdown. He has set up a Facebook poll to name it.

Penistone...I had to think about that one long and hardI've got a friend who lives in Penistone, South Yorkshire.

I am gay.A very good friend of mine who is very educated on gay issues and LGBTQ says Faggot comes from the burning of people, itās a hateful term. I donāt know that most most people would know this, but the people it affects most, are likely to. So itās not āpolitical correctness gone madā to remove it. We learn, get educated we move on.
The ponce thing, though, since I never heard it directed at gay people canāt see that as homophobic, even if itās roots were from then. Homophobes unfortunately have far more offensive unambiguously hurtful slurs to chose from. Iāll have to look ponce up.
Awww, this is really interesting. I've admitted further up that I had no idea what the word ponce meant and after seeing the description I would never use it. It's interesting how language evolves as well. Like certain words are ok when used by a certain group of people (usually marginalised who use the word to take back power). I'm not gay but love the word queer. I think it is used in quite a modern context even though I used to hear my Dad use it back in the day. Can I ask why you don't like it?I am gay.
I'm really not offended by the word "faggot". I don't think it's particularly prevalent and is pretty outraged in itself.
The line in Fairytale of New York uses the word in its Irish context. In Ireland a faggot is a lazy, slobbish person. Context is everything, and I don't think it needs to be removed. I haven't met a gay man in real life who disagrees.
I find ponce much more offensive. Ponce is absolutely a homophobic slur, and is relatively widely-used. I'm not sure how you haven't heard it before. It's to indicate someone who is limp-wristed, and a bit soft and up themselves. Picture a man who works in a department store.
I think the original poster was mixing up ponce with n. A n is a pedalo.
I suppose we all have different views. I detest "queer".
I agree, growing up in London 'ponce' was someone who always wanted something for nothing- always around to have a drink bought for them but their round was never bought. Or wanting fag, food etc but gave nothing in return. I never realised the homophobic connotations until this thread.I am gay.

This is really interesting. Iām the original poster and didnāt realise that it changes n to p0nce. Not sure if this is autocorrect or tattle. As Iāve previously said, I never knew it was a homophobic slur and would never use it in that sense.I am gay.
