Was taught this spelling by my mum 30 years ago. Not gonna change it now because someone thinks it’s hipster. Must be at least a 40 year old variation based on the fact the Guardian’s editors are fucking illiterate as fuck 

It was a misprint of their own name in their own publication, many many years ago.

But 'Grauniad' is an in-joke.  It originated and has been running in Private Eye for decades, and reading the Guardian confirms it's still apt.

 

Ah didn’t know it originated there, thanks!

A dry pie? Are you all mad? Needs gravy.

Ahhh that makes sense and rings a bell. Thanks. So Private Eye satirised that or is that a red herring? It’s still true to this day that their editing and proofing is appalling

I’d also wondered the OP’s question. Had never - and still don’t I think knowing the story - considered it a form of quiet bullying. All forums are absolutely full of that stuff, and this is very gentle stirring

I think if JJ was a serious poster then yes it could be considered bad, but realistically there’s absolutely no chance he’s genuine.

Besides, I’d say JJ has reached a point where he’s looked upon quite fondly around these parts. I almost see “Pymild” as a term of endearment.

Actually, I don't know who is right? Me or Yeti. I've not Googled it, if he has then I've probably got it wrong.

Edit: I've Googled it. Trust  Yeti.

Yes, I’ve totally been reading it as endearing

Talking of pies - how infuriating is it when you order a pie in a pub/restaurant and it isn't a fucking pie? Its just some food in a bowl with a pastry lid...

Very. That's casserole+pastry. Not a pie.

Yeah you end up giving up on a lot of the good stuff, so much fucking effort. And the amount of pastry that is stuck to the sides you just lose out big time.

Dont even fucking start me on those abominations. Pie my arse. If I see pie on a menu I ask if that's the case before ordering.

But it's still a joke account it's not someone's real views so the person being slagged doesn't exist and it's all a reaction for the person behind the account which is presumably the desired effect.

I dunno man, 1000+ posts is a lot of work for a joke account. I just get uncomfortable with a bit of a mob mentality  y'know?

And yes, I may be drunk. I'm looking forward to tomorrow's 2hr review meeting with my supplier.

= pimild.

 

Pymild is just a bastardisation of the above 'original' formula. i think it came over from America, but could be even more vulgar than that!

 

Oh, and if that's not enough far you, look at this - It's the words 'The Guardian' (and it's proper logo), alongside a pint of mild.

As an aside - 'I've tried to learn ya, your teacher's tried to learn ya, your mom's tried to learn ya. Why don't you learn nuffin?

[Yoghurt on a Stick]

Just to clarify - the words of the above post were overheard by one of my mates at a teachers evening (is that what they are called?) at school . Anyway, it was a dad talking to his son in front of his teacher and his mom. Oh, man!

Typo, Occam's razor, right? Nothing more?

Nothing to see here, please move along.....

Michael Stipe has more to say to this world than fucking Morrissey that is for sure.

LTJ Bukem has much more to say than either of them.
