[GretchenWiener]

[kelper]

Still none the wiser at what a head tit is, but will take the insult;)

[fluffydoge]

trigger - anything that can remotely remind someone of a bad experience
lighthearted - someone having a go at someone else or being very unreasonable or just being a twat but they just don't want to admit it
I have got it right haven't i?

Oh dear, head tit sounds better than tilt anyway.

I Have A Broken Piece Of A Rifle In My Hand And I Don't Know Where It Goes (possible trigger)

[Mintyy]

Yes, your thread is not a proper thread unless it has WARNING!!! POSSIBLE TRIGGER!!!!! in the title. Its like the bleeding Daily Mail round here.

That, or [GRAPHIC CONTENT]

or [SENSITIVE!!!! EDITED BY HQ]

etc.

Yawn.

[GretchenWiener]

or my fave

light fucking hearted

[TillyTellTale]

For some reason, I now have a line from this poem going through my head, on account of this thread.

Er, great!

[trufflesnout]

Whenever I see those threads, I always think the announcing of a trigger must be a trigger itself

[GretchenWiener]

they are at it again

[BeyondTheLimitsOfAcceptability]

The one that bugs me... "Aibu to be concerned about this trigger"

How is anyone suppsed to know whether it is something that will trigger them (for i accept that it does have its place sometimes) if they dont know whether the thread is about p&c parking, spiders/trypophobia or child abuse.

Or if you have one bad "trigger", should you avoid all threads with the word, just in case? Actually, if people wrote proper fucking titles, there would be no need for trigger warnings at all!

[GretchenWiener]

i might start a thread just with trigger
see who looks

[TriggersBroom]

Someone mention my name?

[TheFirstOfHerName]

What if the word 'trigger' is the trigger?

at 'head tit'

[BirdhouseInYourSoul]

I'm waiting for people to start putting in thread titles because they think it will allow them to be utter bastards.

"I mean, I told you I wasn't saying it to be offence, it's not my fault you're taking it that way..."

And rather aptly the abbreviation is NOB so fair warning if they shorten it to that I guess.
