Irish town name deemed to be offensive by Facebook

Too bad the former Illinois governor (now awaiting sentencing for corruption) did not use this in his defense strategy when tapes of him saying that the chance to appoint a replacement for Obama's Senate seat was, "Effin Golden!" Obvioussly Mayor Daley had described the wonders of Limerick, even tho his family was from Mayo.

Thank you SILLING you allowed me to indulge in the greatest therapy of all time LAUGHTER. ps my son just read your comment and was rolling on the floor too. Have a safe and happy Christmas.

That's effed.

Well I can understand if it was the town named Dingle. But Effin?? And some of the other nasty words on Facebook are much worse

I find nothing offensive at all. With all the crap that's on Facebook now REALLY, COME ON.

Not as bad as Intercourse Pennsylvania I'll bet!

Hi Cuddly! - I am clearly far from what you attempt to imply!...and I can at least spell it! ~~ Which branch of science is "Misgynology? ~~~ Look: If you were not the same as this kennedy one,but engaged your brain before being sexist yourself, you would know that someone who points out the ones like her,is in turn praising and drawing attention to all the beautiful brilliant women who use their natural talents properly! ~ I note you do not contradict my description of her photograph and also your rash assumption as to my gender!!! ... so think on, braingirl! X X Ps:-(ask Santa to bring you a Dictionary!)

What's the effin problem? don't mind Towngate clearly a misgynist who should Eff off

Excellent

What's the Effin problem...you go girl...don't mind Towngate He is clearly an effin mesogynist who should eff off

... just another badly groomed, badly dressed overweight middle-aged biddy with too much time on her hands, screaming for attention about an organisation who won't allow her to give the name of a place she no longer lives in, as her address!

nice one donegalcali, wish I had thought up that one. My first thought was for God and his Joly Mother's sake, with all the junk that goes on Facebook this is hysterical. How many other works in any other language are considered offensive? It is a lot of rot!! Take bollix for example Merriam Webster's defines that as "throwing into disorder", so never mind the bollix conjures up fond memories of Sid Vicious to me!!!!!!!!!

ah for effin sake.

Eifinn would be accepted by Facebook, she is just looking for attention by omitting the (I) and she is certainly getting the attention. I must admit all the responses were pretty funny.

i have nothing to say other than ,this is an effin tradgedy,anyone one else have effin to say about it,you are probably an effin yank,not from effin,co limerick.
