[edit] Warnings

When using template tags on talk pages, don't forget to substitute with text by adding subst: to the template tag. For example, use {{subst:test}} instead of {{test}}. This reduces server load and prevents accidental blanking of the template.

[edit] if I write "punk" on a talk page...

why would you assume that that message doesn't necessarily make sense to the person that received it within a certain context? I don't want to ignore the whole idea of treating people nicely on 'pedia and whatnot but some people may have certain things in common and thus "get the gist" of a message even one as simple as "punk", or "punkazz" as a bit of a hello. RC patrol's one thing. anyway, lemme know if you think I'm completely round the bend or what. yaaa. 68.84.208.199 21:56, 7 December 2005 (UTC)

According to the entry for Punk in the Wiktionary, the applicable definitions are both potentially offensive: a worthless person, or a prostitute. In the context (or lack thereof), it is unlikely to be interpreted as members of a social or musical movement. Similarly, punkazz is a derivative of punkass, a negative neologism referring to hypocrisy or sexual servitude (according to the urban dictionary entry). Particularly on an IP talk page potentially shared by thousands of users (not just editors), such terms are more likely to confuse or offend than welcome. If you can demonstrate their friendly use as greetings towards total strangers, I'm willing to listen. ;) // Pathoschild 22:25, 7 December 2005 (UTC)

sorry for the delay. i like the way you made it seem like it was about defining punk and punkazz. hehe. derivative. that's scary cuz my zz'in general (this is a special case of bastardizing english, so good money.) aren't meant as derivative of ss in general, but do u think they could be considered as such? it's not the most dignified slice of society that gets others attention with insult, but these types of actions are considered especially out of place in such a place as 'pedia where I guess even working class punkz can freely fuck w/ each other from time to time.I need to seek my Kzzl Vision 07:44, 27 March 2006 (UTC)
