Use of the word "chump"

Sir Degrader · 02-23-2005, 07:38 PM

It seems to me that I am the only person to use it on a regular basis. Do IWers use it, or am I the only one following in Apollo Creed's footsteps?

Hivetyrant · 02-23-2005, 07:41 PM

Only a chump would use that word

Nah, I have never used that word in life, dont know why, just sounds stupid [img]tongue.gif[/img]

I don't use the word Chump, but I do use Chum on when I refer to a particular friend.

Actually it sounds pretty good for example: Some chump bumped into me pretty hard, then swore under his breath about how the f--- could i be so ----ing stupid. I turned around, and said "Wanna say that to my face, chump?". He turned bright red, and walked away, while I, walked away with some face (it didn't hurt that I happened to be pissed off and was in a boxing style position when I said that).

Yeah, this is what I would say:
"Some dumbass bumped into me pretty hard"

It's a fun word. Not an everyday word, but it's a good one. Situational insult, if you will.

It's not the worst thing you could say to somebody, but it gets the point across. [img]smile.gif[/img]

Nah, I'd say some vaskex bumped into me.

Really thou, chump has no appeal. I use either flat out jack arse, or dumb arse. But chump is too much for my 7th grader to use.

On the other hand, if the bumping vaskez is bigger, then of course it was your fault. But as large as we are, then any sub 300lb, 6'5" ft'r is still a jack!

Well, the thing with arse is that most people here don't seem to know it, or they think its "ass", and they tend to get more "shocked and offended". Chump has more of an "insult" quality, more then simply swearing at the guy. To each his own.
