Overuse of the word 'Romp'

Can I propose a rule that we ban the use of the word 'romp' on the forum. It is becoming far too overused and shows a shocking lack of vocabulary among this town's pool aficionados. By the way, I think you will find that I am sashaying away with the predictions league.

Romp is a classic word which you will find in all good sports journals. If it's good enough for The Daily Sport, it's good enough for me.

Motion declined.

So Numbnut, when you 'romp' things, do you wear a romper-suit similar to George Dawes?

I've heard recently that he's taken to wearing a pink lycra number.

Everything I do is via the romping method.

Vini, Vidi, Vici.

I came, I saw, I romped.

Re: Overuse of the word 'Romp'

What happens when you are doing something and find that someone is much better at romping than you?

No-one is better than me at romping, but if I came across someone who was decent at it I'd probably challenge them to a romp-off best of 3.

It's all about out-romping the next bloke in my book, so I'll romp till the cows come home if I have to.

If you romp in the forest and no one sees you are you still romping?

His irons are in the fire, so that would be a little dangerous. Especially if he were trying to keep his powder dry.

I certainly did spot the oblique reference to irons, obviously you were talking about branding irons that have to be heated up on a fire.

A very joke is a joke that is left up to the listener to insert their own word to describe it.

Funny, hilarious, side-splitting, poor, terrible are some of the words that can be used.
