marathon of phony umbrage taking

reesetee No. No, there is some genuine umbrage there, to be sure--although not yet a marathon. Jan 16, 2009

chained_bear See also jank (which does not contain solely phony umbrage, but still...). Jan 16, 2009

reesetee *sits down quickly and folds hands*

Yes, Ms. Jennarenn. Nov 4, 2008

jennarenn You people! Having fun while I'm slaving over report cards! Don't you *know* that there is an official ban on phony umbrage, bad puns, and the wordie treatment until I can turn them in at 2pm tomorrow??? I demand that you rereload this page, as well as english reasearch paper sans phony umbrage. Don't make me come up there!!! Nov 4, 2008

dontcry *sneaks in and takes an umbrage while all the bickering is going on* *snort* Nov 3, 2008

reesetee You've reloaded the page?? How could you? I demand an unreloading. Nov 3, 2008

chained_bear *reloads page with phony umbrage so there's more for the marathon taking* Nov 3, 2008

reesetee I suspect that so much umbrage taking has occurred here that there's no more to be had.

But still, I'm oddly offended. Nov 3, 2008

chained_bear I don't know, but I take umbrage at this page. Nov 2, 2008

reesetee I am highly offended at your thumbprints on that dictionary, chained_bear.

Wait...is it my turn? Oct 31, 2008

chained_bear What's an insuation? *thumbs through dictionary* Should I take umbrage? Oct 31, 2008

bilby That's a reprehensible insuation chained_bear. Oct 31, 2008

chained_bear That question is offensive. Oct 31, 2008

reesetee No. Why do you ask? Oct 31, 2008

bilby Was this page ever about anything? Oct 31, 2008

reesetee I hereby stand by my words, and I refuse to retract my demand that you retract your demand for bilby's retraction.

help.... Oct 31, 2008

chained_bear It's not a cliché. So there. Nyah!

I take umbrage that anyone could possibly ask me to retract my demand for a retraction. Reesetee, your actions are deplorable. I demand that you immediately issue a retraction of your demand that I retract my demand for bilby's retraction!

I am highly offended. And also quite a bit confused. Oct 31, 2008

reesetee I see you've made it out of the self-hole, chained_bear. And I'm shocked--shocked--that you would take umbrage at bilby's comment. I demand that you retract your demand for a retraction. Oct 31, 2008

bilby Bah, not enough there for you to get upset about. I am not a premature retractulator.

P.S. Why do you have cliches on your lizard? Oct 31, 2008

chained_bear Bilby, that phrase is actually posted on the top of my monitor. And I am highly offended that you would stoop to such depths as to quote my silly monitor sayings simply to make a comment. I demand a retraction. Oct 31, 2008

bilby Steady, steady. It's a marathon not a sprint. Oct 31, 2008

pterodactyl Hey! Who took all my umbrage?! Oct 31, 2008

chained_bear *struggles toward the light* Oct 30, 2008

reesetee *grabs one of chained_bear's rear paws* Oct 30, 2008

chained_bear *reaches a single, desperate paw up from the abyss, grasping at dontcry's donated umbrage* Oct 30, 2008

dontcry *sneaks in. puts umbrage back. sneaks back out* Oct 30, 2008

reesetee Clearly, chained_bear is mocking the difficulties that average Wordies face when posting on pages such as "marathon of phony umbrage taking." I mean, is she or is she not for the people?

I demand a retrac--aaaaagh!

*falls into c_b's hole of self-absorption* Oct 30, 2008

chained_bear That umbrage was clearly phony. If you can't take the trouble to take real phony umbrage, frindley... Please.

Wait... *disappears into self* Aaaaaaaaaaa!!! Oct 30, 2008

frindley This intolerance must stop! It is endangering our collective reputation! Oct 30, 2008

chained_bear I have reason to believe that my opponent, reesetee, is faking umbrage taking. And frankly I find that offensive. Oct 30, 2008

reesetee This whole page offends my sensibilities.

*harrumphing* Oct 30, 2008

dontcry I'll take an umbrage - to go. I'm waiting for a pizza delivery. Oct 30, 2008

bilby His tail's on fire again. Oct 30, 2008

sionnach I just want you all to know that I am keeping a detailed list of all the infractions of the norms of civilized behavior that go on here. So don't delude yourselves that your assorted transgressions will pass unnoticed.

Apologize, retract, atone, renounce NOW. While there is still time.

You know who you are.

Singed:

The Dudgeonmaster. Oct 30, 2008

chained_bear That is an execrable statement and I demand a retraction. I am shocked—shocked!—that a fine marsupial such as yourself would repudiate all the opportunities you've been given. To apologize, I mean. Or to use brackets! I am shocked. Oct 30, 2008

bilby Why do you hate freedom? Oct 30, 2008

chained_bear I take umbrage at that, reesetee. There is no comparison between your reprehensible comments and Atourgates's demand for a renouncement of my condemnation of your remarks. The decent thing to do is apologize and renounce your terrorist pals. Oct 30, 2008

reesetee I'm highly offended! You will apologize immediately.

Both of you. Oct 29, 2008

atourgates I reject your condemnation and demand condemnation + renouncement. Oct 29, 2008

chained_bear What?! I condemn your remarks. Oct 29, 2008

reesetee Ha! When I read your other excerpt (on gnome) I was going to suggest you add this phrase to Wordie. We must think alike.

That frightens me. Oct 29, 2008

chained_bear As a phrase, seen here, with a link to this article.

What a great phrase. We should use it more often. Wordie is a fine place for phony umbrage taking. Oct 29, 2008
