You are not quite right.Spastics.
There was a drug called thalidomide, a birth control pill, unfortunately it wasn't 100% effective. Babies were born with horrible deformities as a result of the use of the drug.
Short or no arms or legs, spinal problems and so on.
People with these afflictions were known as 'flids' an abbreviation for thalidomide.
I haven't heard that word used for maybe more than 20years and thought that it had died away, as it really ought to have done.
I hope that this is the last time I personally see it.
No, it is you that is wrong. There was an official Spastic Society, I remember tbe collection boxes. It was originally a genuine word. When people started using it in a derogatory manner they dropped the term.You are not quite right.
The disgusting word spastic was used as a derogatory term for those with cerebral palsy.
The rest is correct.
The twat should be chucked off here.
So the rag scum comes on here pretending to be a Blue and comments on lack of atmosphere at the Etihad and fans leaving early. After being outed as rag scum following his defence of the family man he then calls us ‘ giddy flids’ . Not sure why the complete tosser hasn’t been banned?I think this scum **** should be banned for the use of the word flid.
It is completely unacceptable.
Just what do we have put up with from these scum twats coming on here before anything is done.
Thalidomide was not a birth control pill. It was designed to treat morning sickness. The German company that developed it faked their test results to show no side effects. The side effects were deformities in foetuses.Spastics.

Because our mods are more lenient than the rag cafe twats and encourage debate whereas on their forum if any slightly derogatory is said you’re banned, I said that they would have their pants pulled down over Mount and pay the asking price for him and that was unacceptable apparentlySo the rag scum comes on here pretending to be a Blue and comments on lack of atmosphere at the Etihad and fans leaving early.

I stand corrected on that point.Thalidomide was not a birth control pill. It was designed to treat morning sickness. The German company that developed it faked their test results to show no side effects. The side effects were deformities in foetuses.
Basically calling us all Thalidomide Children, which were children born with terrible birth defects after mothers consumed Thalidomide to help with morning sickness
Then he wonders why he gets called a rag prick
Extremely fair & well thought out post mate. My badDon’t confuse him!
Calling us flids is not a reason for him being a rag prick.
He is a rag, therefor he is a prick. No other insults required.
Edinburgh is full of the feckers today
Playing at that egg chasing place. BBC live reporting it like it's the quarter final of the Champions League
Unfortunately that's pretty much my back garden
Fuck me wouldn't fancy mowing that grass pal.
Fucking hell - I am about to defend the beeb!BBC have rolling coverage of their pre-season games… don’t recall seeing this for any other club.
I went seeing a Thalidomide comedian (both arms short), into his act he said I’ve an announcement to make:Well said. It was a term of abuse used in playgrounds 40'ish years ago and should have stayed there.
