In the 1990s, the British musical press (NME etc.) decided it couldn't possibly print "fuck", but "fook" was fine.
So whenever they interviewed Blur (from London) it would be f--- this and f--- that, but Oasis (from Manchester) were given the full fooking treatment.
- jjulius 2y agoI'm so confused by this thread. I saw this comment days ago, but here it is, in this thread with a timestamp of "1 hour ago" while the whole thread itself is from "2 hours ago". But if I look at this user's comments, the comment is from three days ago and links back to this thread that, as we've established, claims it is from "2 hours ago". To add to the fun, if I Google the comment enclosed in quotes, Google says the comment is from two days ago, but if I remove the quote, it says it's from five days ago. What's happening?
