On slight changes you may have noticed in my blogger profile.


Okay, so a couple of keen-eyed readers have asked about my decision to make some slight amendments to my blogger profile. While it initially read:



' ms fits
Location:Melbourne, Victoria, Australia

Irritatingly smug 29 year-old television writer who yearns to be Bob Ellis but will settle for Bob Hart. At least he gets free meals. Fat cunt.'




It now reads:



' ms fits
Location:Melbourne, Victoria, Australia

Irritatingly smug 30 year-old television writer who yearns to be Bob Ellis but will settle for Bob Hart. At least he gets free meals. Pompous nobjockey.'




WHY I CHANGED IT:


1. I am patently not 29 anymore and can no longer pass myself off as a devil-may-care impish scrap of a lass.


2. It is far too easy to have a crack at Bob Hart for being fat. He is fat because he eats too much rich food and fails to walk it off. No crime in that.


3. I really would like to curb making sly digs at wankers for their physical appearance (unless of course they are wearing a propellor hat/MC Hammer pants, in which case they are fair game). I was disappointed when Paul Keating couldn't resist a crack at Vanstone ('the contest is, spot the pig').


So she's overweight and has a face like a half-sucked Twistie. Big deal. She's also an arrogant bully with a festering wound for a heart. There's plenty of material for searing insults.


4. Bob Hart isn't really vicious enough to be considered a cunt. He's just a fatuous gimp who passes off simpering puff pieces on local restaurants as 'reviews'.


5. He also has a sniveringly bloated interviewing style which brings to mind a PE teacher with gender issues and I don't much care for it.


6. 'Pompous nobjockey' is eminently more suitable. Get with the times, people. We can all change together.

ok... fair enough on the change.

but one (pedantic) question:

should nobjockey be spelt with a k?

this question troubles me, given it asks for the etymology of the word. presumably it's someone who acts a jockey on a (k)nob.
the really smart oxford types have this to say (i didn't want to google nobjockey, cos that's not really a safe thing to do at work, but come to think of it neither is reading your blog):

nob

→ n.
(informal) a person's head.
- ORIGIN C17: appar. a var. of knob.

OR

knob

→ n.
1. a rounded lump or ball, especially at the end or on the surface of something. • a ball-shaped handle on a door or drawer. • a round button on a machine.
2. a small lump of something: a knob of butter.
3. (chiefly N. Amer.) a prominent round hill.
4. (vulgar slang) a man's penis.

→ v.
(knobs, knobbing, knobbed) (Brit. vulgar slang) (of a man) have sex with.

- PHRASES with ( brass ) knobs on (Brit. informal) and something more, used especially for returning an insult.
- DERIVATIVES knobbed adj. knobby adj. knob-like adj.
- ORIGIN ME: from Mid. Low Ger. knobbe ‘knot, knob, bud’.

Well! Now that nobjockey is dealt with, shall we turn our attention to 'sniveringly'? I think that's a great new word.

Coming from Sydney, I didn't know "who was that fat cunt?"

However, "pompous nobjockey" lacks venom and simply cannot compare to a curt fat cunt.

ms fits said...

Surely I am allowed to go easy on the venom in my newfound status as a mature Lady of the Blogosphere, tantrik.


Besides which, there are others far more deserving of a poisonous word-lashing.

Now that's poetry

She of the face like a half sucked twistie deserves venom.

But why would you settle for being him, then?

Because he gets free food, Lefty.

Actually I read your previous epithet as referring to yourself, probably because of the punctuation. I would read the current one in the same way without your explanation.

fancy said...

I dunno.

I'd hate to think you were bowing to market pressure/parental disapproval or somesuch. Fat cunt has a nice ring to it (NPI - obviously cunts aren't rings, no matter how fat) and knobjockey (anon. was correct, unless BH is being accused of riding toffs around) is actually homophobic.


I use the word a lot without meaning it as such, but that's the etymology as I understand it. If you ride knobs (and are male) you're a knobjockey.

So I'm a dissenter. Don't like the change, don't like the spelling. Maybe change the whole by-line? You could work Dermot Brereton in somehow - he's surely a cunt.

ms fits said...

But I don't want to 'work in' Dermot Brereton. And I happen to rather like the way I spell nobjockey. SO.

Ms Fits,

Your determination to pass yourself off as a 'lady' (aside from the obvious contradiction of having a blog that features way too many photos of David's penis, the posting of which is not very 'ladylike.') has a ring of the Emily and Florence about it.

Is there something you aren't telling us?

Wuss.

Both is good. Though knobjockey mostly makes me think of freshfaced young gentlemen wearing a smile and a cowboy hat on the point of doing some knobjockeying.

Surely, given the extent to which your readers are obsessed with the concept, the word “pants” should appear somewhere in that profile. May I suggest “At least he gets free meals. Guy who wears unfashionable pants.”

*promises self to one day post a comment without saying “pants”*

*secretly suspects that this will never happen*

250k a year? that's not very far; a day trip to ballarat and you couldn't leave the house for 12 months.

was going to pull you up on your eternal youth, but then you updated. I quite like the image of Bob Hart riding around on the back of some hooray henry...

I was hoping you'd change that bit of text. Or at least explain it. It was vicious without any context. But then, I don't know Bob Hart.

happy bday anyway ms fits.
i've acknowledged that you're not a retard. this post prove it well.

mskp said...

sheesh, ms fits, you've had quite the shellacking over this, haven't you? as my grandmother would say to your forthy* commenters: "you've got more front than myers!".

my two cents - i think any gratuitous use of the word cunt is to be applauded but i'm going to come out in favour of pompous nobjockey, spelling 'n' all. it has a certain elegance that fat cunt lacked.


*this is actually a word - another of my grandma's gems...

groverjones - Emily & Florence are just GORGEOUS! And Mature ladies SHOULD have pictures of SOMEONES penis on their blogs! Sheesh.

I did like "fat cunt" - for me it had a familiar ring to "slipper shuffling old cunt" so both made me laugh. The things we are allowed to think - but only say in the right company.

But yes - pompous nobjockey is definately growing on me.

Thanks for the explanation!

i think the change is good.
adding the k seems to conjure up a too literal visual.
