I'd choose the modest living because a writer needs a platform more than anything else.

If a writer would trade the platform for money then they were always in the wrong business, imo.

You're a mong too.

Mong!

Quote: Lee Henman @ August 2 2009, 11:22 PM BST

Mong!

Emperor Mong if you don't mind.

I'm going to stop calling people mongs now.

But come on...60 million v comedy? If I had 60 million quid I'd make people laugh alright. I'd have a personal "laugher" to giggle at my jokes full time.

Laughing out loud Mong The Merciless?

I feel really weird about lusting after the cleavage of a 70-year-old woman with a stuffed animal at her bosom.

As a dyslexic and an idiot I usually call people gnoms

I think I'll have that engraved on my headstone.

Am I correct in assuming it's a play on "mongoloid"? "Mong" isn't a term we use over here. But I love this song:

That really has got to be the worst job in history.

Yes, Mong is short for mongoloid which in turn is an abusive term for someone with Downs Syndrome.

My brother tells me off when I use that word.

We'll use "mongoloid" on occasion, but "mong" would probably remind people of the Hmong and Clint Eastwood.

I suspect that as the term 'mongoloid' has it self become archaic, that most people simply do not make the connection.

Is the time ripe for reviving spastic as a light-hearted term of abuse?
