I was going to post this exact same thread just now william! How random is that!

"Veg" tends to be a phrase used by certain 'enthusiasts' to describe fellow enthusiasts who spend lots of time platform-ending and virtually nothing else. Lots of 'enthusiasts' (I write it in this fashion here because sometimes I wonder just how enthused they really are) use it to demean fellow enthusiasts because they don't agree with their ways of enjoying the hobby it would seem. No doubt there are other reasons but that's the one I've picked up on the most.

At the end of the day, I get called a 'veg' all the time, but at the end of the day there's a lot worse to be called (I get that too!). So long as you're enjoying your hobby, you're enjoying it safely (eg, not flailing) and not hurting anyone doing it, then I'll leave you to your own devices.

Since you've already posted in this thread Gizmogle, would you care to enlighten me as to why you describe me as 'veg'? Perhaps, actually, doing so by PM would be a better idea.

Veg (/ˈvɛdʒ, "vej") - Noun:
  1. Any plant whose fruit, seeds, roots, tubers, bulbs, stems, leaves, or flower parts are used as food, as the tomato, bean, beet, potato, onion, asparagus, spinach, or cauliflower.
  2. The edible part of such a plant, as the tuber of the potato.
  3. Any member of the vegetable kingdom; plant.
I hate to be picky there, Gizzy...But in that picture, I'm sure that I can see at least three different types of fruit... :lol:

I did post a dictionary thread in chat a while back, have a search for that and it defines everything you'll ever be called. :lol:

To mods: this is what we call a joke :razz:

Hail All! <D
Definition of veg: See Sulzer25
:lol::lol::lol:
I just tried posting that on an appropriate Wikipedia page, but someone swiftly reverted it. I don't suppose anyone here has an account on Uncyclopedia, do they?... :lol:;)8)

I also notice that D306 has done the same with his signature as I have...The pure irony here of course being that D306 lives further North than I do! :shock::lol::razz:
(Well...That will only be for as long as it takes me to afford a move to somewhere in the Yorkshire Dales... ;))

Farewell... <D

You can go to 't North if you wish.

Proud Southerner here. The part of the country where we speak properly.

I will not be lectured about the English language from a Midlander.

Okay would you like to be lectured by a Brummie who uses apostrophies way to much.

Seriously though veg seem's to be derived from the turn "to veg out" so a bunch of people who constantly veg out at the end of a platform are themselves people who veg or as we know it VEG.

And stoat well it's a type of rodent like a ferret or weasel so it's basically like calling some one a devious weasel so I would apply stoat to those who spend their time fare dodging.

Apologies for the crap editing, but I only have MS Paint on this PC, and I was originally planning to get up in half an hours time, yet I've been up all night again...Pesky internet addiction! :oops::roll:<(
